Economic vulnerability can lead to poor health outcomes in several ways: 1. Limited Access to Healthcare: Individuals with lower economic status often have limited access to healthcare services, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment of diseases. 2. Poor Living Conditions: Economic hardship can result in inadequate housing, nutrition, and sanitation, which can increase the risk of infectious diseases. 3. Mental Health Strain: Financial stress is a significant contributor to mental health issues, which can further complicate physical health problems.
