Why Is This Important?
Economic inequality influences many aspects of health and well-being, and low socio-economic status puts people at risk for heart disease, mental health problems, chronic disease, and shorter life expectancy. Higher income, in turn, creates more opportunities for a healthy lifestyle, such as being able to afford to live in a safe neighborhood with parks, sidewalks, good services and strong schools.
