In this article, authors Maani and colleagues welcome the comments from Diderichsen et al. on their review in which Diderichsen and colleagues helpfully argue that thinking about commercial determinants of health (CDOH) should be expanded beyond its current focus of attention. The present authors agree the interaction between commercial and political driving forces is critical and needs to be made more visible.

The Need for a Conceptual Understanding of the Macro and Meso Commercial Determinants of Health Inequalities
Summary
In this article, authors Maani and colleagues welcome the comments from Diderichsen et al. on their review in which Diderichsen and colleagues helpfully argue that thinking about commercial determinants of health (CDOH) should be expanded beyond its current focus of attention. They are right to point to the role of the commercial influences in other sectors, and their examples of education and social care are well chosen. The present authors agree the interaction between commercial and political driving forces is critical and needs to be made more visible. This is something the authors and others have called for and something a recent review on the definitions of CDOH identified as an important element of a broader definition.
