Question

What is meant by the health/wealth gradient?

1.The poorer you are, the worse your health is
2.The richer you are, the worse your health is
3.Income is not related to health
4.People is the US have better health overall than in other countries

Answer 1

Poor adults are almost five times as likely to report being in fair or poor health as adults with family incomes at or above 400 percent of the federal poverty level, or FPL. With that given, the poorer you are, the worse your health is.

While the US has good health in general, there are places with much better health standards and doesn’t apply to wealth gradient.
