There is also a strong relationship between the environment of the person living with a DFU and the prognosis of the wound. Financial insecurity seems to have a major impact, but this effect can be moderated by social protection systems. Socioeconomic and socio-educational deprivations seem to have a more complex relationship with DFU risk and prognosis. The area of residence is a common scale of analysis for DFU as it highlights the effect of access to care. Yet it is important to understand other levels of analysis because some may lead to over-interpretation of the dynamics between social deprivation and DFU. Social deprivation and DFU are both complex and multifactorial notions. Thus, the strength and characteristics of the correlation between the risk and prognosis of DFU and social deprivation greatly depend not only on the way social deprivation is calculated, but also on the way questions about the social deprivation\u2212DFU relationship are framed. This review examines this complex relationship between DFU and social deprivation at the individual level by considering the social context in which the person lives and his or her access to healthcare.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11185431","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,16]],"date-time":"2022-09-16T01:35:10Z","timestamp":1663292110000},"page":"5431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Social Deprivation, Healthcare Access and Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5830-8962","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Baptiste","family":"Bonnet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition-Diabetes Department, University Hospital of Montpellier, 34295 Montpellier, France"},{"name":"UMR 1302, Desbrest Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health, INSERM, CHU, University of Montpellier, 34000 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ariane","family":"Sultan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nutrition-Diabetes Department, University Hospital of Montpellier, 34295 Montpellier, France"},{"name":"PhyMedExp, INSERM U1046, CNRS UMR 9214, University of Montpellier, 34000 Montpellier, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wright, J.D.
