I'm not Dennis, but I think his point is that if you are poor or are otherwise on the wrong end of the determinants of health, even if you make "correct" choices -- don't smoke, exercise well, eat what you're supposed to eat, etc. -- you're still likely to have poorer health. Just making the "right" choices is not enough.

"individual behaviours and choices are structured and constrained by the socio-economic determinants of health, "

Actually, Its much more than this.  Even if the choices are correct, no smoking, exercise, diet, health outcomes are poor for those who experience adverse social determinants of health.
