morbidity and mortality and consider mental health
Health Answer - State of complete physical, mental, and social well-being not

Hypotheses for relationship between position and health Answer - 1. social
position and health are not related and the apparent association is spurious
and attributable to genetic/biological factors 2. health causes social position 3.

Assumption: Everyone gets old and ill so variance in a population should

for older people, not younger people as expected)
