What are the Health Risks Associated with Low Income Households?
Low income households are disproportionately affected by various health risks. These include higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases. They are also more vulnerable to infectious diseases due to limited access to healthcare, crowded living conditions, and poor sanitation. Mental health issues, including depression and anxiety, are also more prevalent in these communities due to financial stress and social determinants of health.
