The segment In Sickness and in Wealth

The segment In Sickness and in Wealth features an interview with Sir Michael Marmot of England, who explains the following about the Whitehall Studies conducted in the United Kingdom beginning in the 1960a s and 1970a s: The studies showed that British executives were the sickest members of the population because their stress levels were very high because of their job pressures. O The highest paid executives and the lowest paid workers turned out to be the least healthy. Those with middle-level incomes were most healthy. The most important effect on health was smoking and alcohol use, much more so than social status and income. O The lower the grade of employment, the worse the health, and income was a stronger predictor for health than lifestyle factors such as alcohol use and smoking. 0.5 points Save Answer
