Abstract

There are five main categories of health determinants, which are the many variables that affect health. This includes the sewage system, water sources, cuisine patterns, housing environment, and medication. The term "broader determinants of health" is used to describe these factors. Although you may not have direct control over all of these variables, they are all a part of the environment where you live, work, and grow up. Secondary data gathered from rural communities serves as the foundation for the research. The data were analyzed using multivariate methods and ANOVA. We identify risk factors, root causes, and problems for people as well as maternal health factors in rural lifestyles and health problems.

Keywords: Health Determinants, Rural Communities, Broader Determinants of Health, Maternal Health, Multivariate Analysis, Risk Factors
