A wide range of socioeconomic status (SES) indicators such as household income are strong determinants of health behaviors such as exercise frequency. Children and adults with higher SES show higher level of exercise. The health effect of household income is frequently shown, suggesting that household income may be among the most robust and salient determinants of health and health behaviors. Income may in fact be one of the reasons some other SES indicators such as education promote exercise and health. How SES indicators such as income impact health behaviors such as exercise, however, may depend on social context and demographic factors. In other terms, the effects of SES indicators such as income on exercise and other health behaviors depend on race and place, suggesting that race, resources, place, and context may interact in how they shape populations’ and individuals’ health behaviors. This may be particularly true for the effects of income, because what people can purchase and what families can do with their income differ across populations and places.
