The pivotal impact of Social Determinants of Health (SDoH) on people's health and well-being has been widely recognized and researched. However, the effect of Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH) is only now garnering increased attention. Developing an ontology for CDoH can offer a systematic approach to identifying and categorizing the diverse commercial factors affecting health. These factors, including the production, distribution, and marketing of goods and services, may exert a substantial influence on health outcomes. The objectives of this research are 1) to develop an ontology for CDoH by utilizing PubMed articles and ChatGPT; 2) to foster ontology reuse by integrating CDoH with an existing SDoH ontology into a unified structure; 3) to devise an overarching conception for all nonclinical determinants of health (N-CDoH) and to create an initial ontology for N-CDoH; 4) and to validate the degree of correspondence between concepts provided by ChatGPT with the existing SDoH ontology.
