By considering popular beliefs about the relevance of such factors as sex, race, poverty, and health habits. Grace Budrys moves beyond factors that receive a great deal of media attention - such as smoking, diet, exercise, and even genetic inheritance - and examines those factors that are far more difficult to identify and track, such as relative income and relative social status."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a Social medicine. 650 0 $a Medical statistics. 650 0 $a Health behavior. 650 0 $a Health status indicators. 650 12 $a Health Status Indicators $z United States. 650 22 $a Socioeconomic Factors $z United States. 941 $a 1 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20110825010724.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A5E7D26ECEDF11E09E3AE4E66AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IOTInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
