Social determinants of health are the conditions in the environments where people are born, live, learn, work, play, worship, and age that affect a wide range of health, functioning and quality of life outcomes and risks - these social determinants of health often aid in explaining the racial and ethnic health inequities present in the United States (US). The root cause of these social determinants of health has been tied to structural racism, and residential segregation is one such domain of structural racism that allows for the operationalization of the geography of structural racism. This review focuses on three residential segregation measures that are often utilized to capture segregation as a function of race/ethnicity, income, and simultaneously race/ethnicity and income. Empirical findings related to the spatial and spatio-temporal heterogeneity of these residential segregation measures are presented. We also discuss some of the implications of utilizing these three residential segregation measures.
健康的社会决定因素是人们出生、生活、学习、工作、玩耍、礼拜和衰老的环境条件，这些条件会影响广泛的健康、功能和生活质量结果和风险——这些健康的社会决定因素通常有助于解释美国（美国）存在的种族和族裔健康不平等现象。这些健康的社会决定因素的根本原因与结构性种族主义有关，而居住隔离是结构性种族主义的一个领域，它允许结构性种族主义的地理运作。本综述侧重于经常用于捕捉种族/族裔、收入以及同时种族/族裔和收入作为功能的三种居住隔离措施。介绍了这些居住隔离措施的空间和时空异质性的实证研究结果。我们还讨论了使用这三种居住隔离措施的一些影响。
