How does poverty affect your health?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple Ways: Poverty can affect your physical as well as your mental health in a variety of ways. Malnutrition can lead to delayed development and healing. Poverty can be a primary factor in delayed access to medical and dental care leading to more advanced problems. Unsanitary living conditions due to poverty is a major factor as well
