ABSTRACT
This reprinted chapter originally appeared in Journal of Gerontological Social Work, 2020, 63[6-7], 559-564. (The following of the original article appeared in record 2021-00510-004.) Gerontological social workers should pay extra attention to disadvantaged older adults, guided by the social determinants of health (SDH) conceptual framework. Vulnerable older adults include those who live in poverty, with a disability, and in social isolation. This letter provides background information on the SDH framework, identifies issues of heightened inequality, and offers recommendations on how our profession can support older adults experiencing additional disadvantages during the pandemic.
