Answer 1

"They reflect underlying forces that are at work in the subsequent development of disease" is the most accurate statement about the determinants of health.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The health determinants include like economic, social, physical environments and the characteristics or behaviours of the individual person. The circumstances of the lives of people find out their health and it is therefore inappropriate to say fault on individuals for poor health or credit them for good health.

It is doubtful that individuals will be able to directly monitor many of the health determinants. Such determinants or things that make people healthy or don't include the variables and many others like education, one's salary and status in society, genetics etc.
