How Does Socioeconomic Status Affect Health Vulnerability?
Socioeconomic status (SES) plays a significant role in determining health outcomes. Lower SES is often associated with limited access to healthcare services, poor living conditions, and higher exposure to stressors. These factors can lead to increased vulnerability to infectious diseases, chronic illnesses, and mental health disorders. Public health interventions aimed at improving SES can help reduce these disparities and improve overall health outcomes.
