Beginning of my Research

My research topic is " How low-income effects the Health of Society". I decided to do this topic because of the class discussion we had on the definition of health. This topic is interesting to me because I began to see some type of correlation between people with lower incomes and various diseases like heart disease, diabetes, hypertension etc. I believe this topic is important because everyone should be informed about people with lower incomes and the problems they suffer with. I expect to find out why people with lower income are linked to different diseases and issues with health care. So far, my research has suggested that people with lower incomes can only afford to buy the less expensive foods which tend to be the unhealthy ones. I agree with this view point because I have seen this issue in many people such as some of my family members.

  1. This is a very broad inquiry question, but as you research I know you'll see where you want to focus. I saw a local news story recently about in the lower-income neighborhoods in Charlotte, people who don't have cars only have access to fast food joints b/c there are no grocery stores w/in walking distance.
