Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Poor people in the United States are at greater risk for heart disease and cancer than more affluent persons. This is likely due to a combination of factors such as limited access to healthy food options and medical care, as well as higher levels of stress and exposure to environmental pollutants in low-income neighborhoods. The other choices are incorrect as poor people actually have shorter life expectancies and their children are at greater risk of dying during their first year of life, and they may not necessarily receive more preventive medical and dental checkups than members of the middle class.
