Poor people are more often sick than the better off. Their general levels of health and well-being are lower. They are more exposed to communicable disease 1 and have less resistance to it. They are more likely to live and work in hazardous environments. They have less food and less access to clean water. Their housing offers less protection from the weather and is more likely to be overcrowded.
