Abernathy, Thomas J.; Webster, Greg; Vermeulen, Marian
Adolescence, v37 n145 p55-67 Spr 2002
Examines data on 1,759 adolescents to assess the effect of low socioeconomic status on their health. Results confirm the relationship between income and health. Explains how the pathway to poor health care operates through the social environment, lifestyle differences, access to care, and self-esteem problems. Findings do suggest that physical activity may help buffer impact of poverty on health. (JDM)
