INTRODUCTION: Several factors are involved in the health-disease process and important points are related to sociocultural aspects that need to be known and interpreted to understand a more general framework that involves health. OBJECTIVE: To analyse the sociocultural aspects related to the health and disease process. METHODS: This is a reflexive review study. Thematic categories were established for the development and discussion of results according to the analysis of Bardin. RESULTS: Sociocultural aspects influence the health of the population based on creation of work in the field of public health. CONCLUSION: Many aspects are involved in the health-disease process. All impact in some way on some context in public health and therefore should be analysed and considered.
