Abstract
Objective: To develop a conceptual framework and provide a common understanding of health determinants in a digital age in light of the emergence of digital determinants of health and the digital transformations of social, political, and commercial and economic determinants. Methods: We conducted a scoping review in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Relevant data were extracted and clustered using a thematic analysis. Priority areas were identified through internal discussions guided by consensus methods. Results: We identified 10,788 records from academic databases and 3016 records from other sources, with 204 records (2.4%) being ultimately included. We found 127 health determinants that emerged or changed in a digital age (37 digital, 33 social, 33 commercial and economic, and 24 political), which subsequently informed a novel conceptual framework. Subsequently, 30 determinants (23.6%) were considered as being particularly urgent to address by consensus among authors and contributors. Conclusions: This review offers a comprehensive overview of determinants, encompassing policy decisions, individual behaviors, and factors across digital, social, commercial and economic, and political domains that influence health in the digital age. It seeks to deepen our understanding of how health outcomes manifest within a digital ecosystem and elucidate strategies for addressing the intricate and evolving networks of health determinants.
