The gradient between socioeconomic status (SES) and health is well established. Many measures of health show that health increases as SES increases. However, the mechanisms underlying the association are not well understood. Behavioral, cognitive, and affective tendencies that develop in response to the greater psycho-social stress encountered in low-SES environments may partially mediate the impact of SES on health. Although these tendencies might be helpful for coping in the short term, over time they may contribute to the development of allostatic load, which increases vulnerability to disease. Debate remains regarding the direction of causation between SES and health, the impact of income inequality, the interaction of SES with race-ethnicity and gender, and the effects of SES over the life course.
