There is a significant relationship between socioeconomic status and diet. Individuals with lower socioeconomic status often face barriers to accessing healthy foods, leading to a reliance on more processed and calorie-dense options that are typically less expensive. This can result in poorer nutrition and increased risk for chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes. In contrast, those in higher socioeconomic brackets have greater access to fresh produce, healthful options, and nutrition education, often leading to healthier dietary patterns. Understanding this relationship is essential for creating effective public health interventions that address nutritional inequalities.
