Document Summary

Chapter 12 sociology of the body: disability, aging, and death . Similarly, aging is not just a process of growth and decline, age is one basis of social inequality. Scrutiny of many sources reveals that tall people live longer that others do on average: they also earn more than others do and tend to reach the top of their professions more quickly. It was found that an additional cm in height = an additional in income for men, and for women. It is a simple conventional view that poverty encourages obesity. It is true that poor women have fewer opportunities and resources that would allow them to eat healthier diets and get more to exercise to bring down their weight: the reverse is also true. Obesity in itself tends to make women poorer as it has negative effects on income i. e. an overweight woman earns less than a non-overweight woman.
