This simplified ecological model for thinking about pathways whereby social determinants at various scales (societal, community, and interpersonal) influence oral health and related health outcomes for both individuals and populations of older adults is adapted from a conceptual model titled, “Ecological model of social determinants of oral health for older adults” that first appeared in: Northridge ME, Ue F, Borrell LN, Bodnar S, De La Cruz L, Marshall S, Lamster IB.
