Low-income earners may get stress easily

Low-income earners may get stress more easily than people with higher social position.

American researchers measured the proportion of epinephrine, nor epinephrine and cortisol, 3 hormones that cause stress in human, of 193 people with an annual income from 2.500 USD to 162.500 USD. Average income of the participators is 17.500 USD a year, and the average study time is under 14 years.

The researcher found that the group with low income and social position has a higher content of the 3 stress hormones. This correlation does not depend on race, age, sex, or overweight level.

In addition, poverty also associates with high smoking rate, skipping breakfast and a poor social relationship.

"This survey does not focus on the poverty. Our purpose is to help everybody to understand more clearly about the stress factor which may harm our health", Sheldon Cohen, the Pittsburgh 's Carnegie Mellon University Psychology professor said.

Cohen said that the supporting relationship helps people to relieve stress and to have breakfast regularly which is considered as an expression of good health. Each higher social position gained can also increase general health.

However, the research result showed a contrast to the common idea that the government officers and the high income earners may get stress more easily than the low income earners; in fact, the low income earners do.
