It is well-known that income and health status are directly related. Some people are poor because they aren’t healthy, but many more people are unhealthy because they are poor, or grew up poor. Social and economic conditions are powerful predictors of stress levels, health status, disease risk and life expectancy.(1) (1) Adler N, Rehkopf D. U.S. disparities in health: descriptions, causes, and mechanisms. Annu Rev Public Health 2008;29:235-252 * Depression is associated with higher levels of inflammatory cytokines.(1) and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Low socioeconomic status is associated with higher C-reactive protein (a marker of inflammation) in the overwhelming majority of studies that examine the relationship. This association persists after adjustment for race and other demographic variables.(2) The association is most marked in people living near or below income poverty levels. People with lower socioeconomic status
