wealth, that how health and wealth effect each other, the health of individual is all over the
mental, physical wellness of the person, a person can be known as healthy if they posses

health and wealth shows vice versa, to become wealthy it is necessary to be healthy
because if an individual get ill not able to perform any activity then he/she can't go for work and
without doing any job or businesses be cant get wealth, so health is primary which has to be
good, for example if some one is suffering from kidney infection or from cancer in the last stage
of it then money cant do anything to save because some health problems are chronic and
permanent so it need to take all precaution by maintaining health to prevent these kind of
problem. (Gilberto, 2020) Wealth is name,fame and money, individual can be known as wealthy
who's having all resources, helps to live good life, wealth have positive as well as negative effect
on health depends on individual way of using it. For example if a rich person use their money
for bad habits then it will cause health issues, and if some one is just focus on achievement of
wealth by avoiding the health badly effect the health. wealth related to the improvement of
health, for good health it require to maintain hygiene, have nutritional food, and for that we need
money, money is use for to buy all the assets of life, for hygiene maintaining products, for
balance diet, for clean accommodation, personal needs clothes etc. absence of wealth directly
effects the mental health, because if we will not be able to fulfil are needs then it cause mental as
well as physical illness, unbalance diet cause malnutrition and then stress of all these staff cause
hypertension and may more brain disease.
On the basis of some research journal it has been found that high class people is awaited
to live longer than lower class people. For example it has been analyse that a person who's
having income in top 6% is live more than the individual comes below the 6%(Gillen, 2019) .
Increasing in wealth improve health by fulfilling all the requirements of good health.
Then just opposite to it pathetic health effect the wealth by reducing the time of work reduce
income, and increase the medical cost, so the first priority should be health then wealth for more
happy and healthy life. Some cornice disease have worst effect on life, such as HIV, cancer,
diabetes, TV. These are the life threatening disease, complete savings of an individual live get
invested for the treatment of these health problem, the health issues reduce work productivity.
In James P. smith made calculations using data form (PSID). The calculation conclusion
is based on the data form, United States of America. Serve is done by constructing a table on the
basis of different age group and 3 different year , where he represented relationship between
health and wealth. He analysed that superior health shows 78% more income in comparison to

poor health. Wealth is also related to education, graduates of a year earned more income than
school dropouts.
On the basis of smith, variations in health lead changes in wealth for example between
those who are in age group of 36-45 found that because of the good health form 11 years normal
earning almost increased from $110 000, opposite to that earning of those who reported poor
health income was decreased less than $ 100 000. so the conclusion is that good health increase
income. (Voronca, 2018) There are some more factors effects the health and increase health risk
are, unhygienic food, smoking, alcohol consumption, drugs etc. these element are ordinary in
lower economic group. Marnout has found that the smoking and alcohol consumption is hinger
in lower income ,uneducated background, it has been analysed that 45% of uneducated men had
smoking and alcohol habit's, from graduates only 14% men smoked.
Smith did survey by using HRS data technique in which he utilized some variables,
parental health education, wealth and health during childhood. He analysed that education is
related to self management which which helps in maintaining hygiene, through different
guidance about health. Smith in his report involved diabetic patient and grouped them according
to their education/degree conclusion was that people who did higher education is more aware
about the self health management. Education plays important role in creating health awareness,
aid people to know and understand the causes and treatment of particular health problem.
Childhood habit's also effects the future health and the mother health during pregnancy effects
the future health of fetus. For example improper nutrition, oxygen leads to the decries in the
weight of baby and during childhood bad habit's of junk food, unhygienic, lake of physical
activities can future health-care issues. (Kiechle, 2019) Another most effecting element for
health and wealth is stress.
CONCLUSION
All over the study conclude that health and wealth are vice versa, health is essential to maintain
happy life with wealth, health comes first in every situation, health and wealth help each other to
make happy life. It is important to take care of health so that healthy body can contribute
