What is the Impact of Socioeconomic Factors on Nutrition?

Socioeconomic status (SES) significantly influences dietary habits and nutrition. Individuals with higher SES often have better access to healthy food options, while those with lower SES may face barriers such as food insecurity and limited access to nutritious foods. This can lead to disparities in diet quality and health outcomes. Epidemiologists study these inequities to develop targeted interventions that address the specific needs of different populations and promote health equity.
