Stress (possibly with poverty) ---> smoking ---> resp disorders (poss heart disease)

Access to health services for a variety of reasons including poor knowledge of what's available ---> poorer health advice/info/care

The same can be said about smoking, this leading to cancer and heart disease.

Low income usually also results in poor diet, see above.

Poor income areas tend to have worse health facilities, leading to the late diagnosis of disease.

In the UK, there are few dentists who now work in the NHS, therefore dental services are scarce, leading to dental and hygiene problems. In England and Wales, eye tests are no longer free, leading to reading problems and late diagnosis of eye disease.
