One of the main indicators that demographers have noted determines how likely people are to have “good health” is family income. Essentially, folks who are more well off are more likely to have a longer and more disease-free life than those who are scraping by.
This statistic makes sense, I guess, because those with money can buy better food, supplements, afford exercise equipment, ect., but I don’t see why this necessarily has to be so. I mean, if people are at least getting by, health is not all that expensive to obtain. Anyone can go for a walk, or choose healthy foods. Perhaps the real deal behind this number is education, or stress levels, but I don’t know.
What I do know is that health is an individual choice, and those who want it can obtain it for little money, though it always takes a great deal of effort
