What does socioeconomic status (SES) have to do with aging and health?
  1. A person can afford better medical care and better food with better income
  2. More money makes everything look better, even aging
  3. If you have a better income, you can afford to travel or join a gym/spa
  4. Both A and C
Explanation
Answer - D - It’s true - if money is available for better medical care, better and more plentiful food, plus a wider variety of interests and activities, aging will be a healthier and happier time. One of the difficulties of measuring the relationship between SES, health, and aging is that occupation is the key status indicator. With the elderly population mostly retired, they are not factored into the data gathered for economic well-being when the data is based on occupation.
