What is the Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Pediatric Health?
Socioeconomic status (SES) is a significant determinant of health outcomes in pediatrics. Children from low-SES backgrounds are more likely to experience poor health due to factors like inadequate nutrition, lack of access to healthcare, and exposure to environmental hazards. By understanding the SES of pediatric populations, healthcare providers can develop strategies to mitigate these risks and improve health equity.
