Noncommunicable diseases provide a significant impact on global health. Information about the factors influencing the noncommunicable morbidity and the need for medical care is important for forecasting need and distribution of healthcare resources. The article presents the results of a study dealing with the relationship between social determinants of health and acute conditions requiring medical care in women. Social determinants including the standard hierarchy of values and the level of education (high school) influence on individual self-assessment of health and are associated with lower need for medical care due to acute non-communicable diseases. The graph method was used for the study and can be proposed for further investigation of the influence of social determinants on the need for medical care.
