The concept of Social Capital (SC), originally described by Durkheim (1893), is composed of dimensions related to cohesion and trust between members of a social group, and considered by the Word Health Organization (WHO) as part of the social determinants of public health for the decrease of inequities and inequalities in health provision.
To contribute to the dissemination of the concept of SC related to the social determinants of Public Health, in order to offer the reader in-depth content to observe the potential applications and practices in this field.
Literature search (Google Academics™, PubMed, Science direct™, Ebsco Host™).
A total of 294 full-text publications were obtained, and those selected were the most influential sources on the evolution and application of the concept of Social Capital, socioeconomic development and health in the last decade.
Although the current evidence shows that Social Capital is a determinant related to health, standards are still needed for its measurement. This could allow the concept to be measured, and facilitate its integration into the form of actions that exert positive influence and contribute to the implementation of institutional interventions planned for development and public health.

促进与公共卫生社会决定因素相关的社会资本概念的传播，以便为读者提供深入内容，以观察该领域的潜在应用和实践。
文献检索（谷歌学术™、PubMed、科学Direct™、EBSCO Host™）。
共获得294篇全文出版物，所选文献是过去十年中关于社会资本概念的演变与应用、社会经济发展与健康方面最具影响力的资料来源。
尽管目前的证据表明社会资本是与健康相关的一个决定因素，但仍需要其测量标准。这将使该概念能够被衡量，并便于将其融入到能产生积极影响的行动形式中，有助于实施为发展和公共卫生所规划的机构干预措施。
