According to assignment the chosen five socio economic factors that affects health are as
discussed below:
1

Income: Income is the major source of socio economic factors for health promotion. It
providing source for higher income gives better nutrition, recreation, schooling, housing,
purchasing the health care. The raised income takes away towards to better health. There is a
graded relationship among income and health (Du, 2014). It is very effective for health and

suffering form low income by least of job opportunities are more liable to adopt unhealthy
behaviours for example drinking, smoking etc.
