Abstract

Wealth has long been recognised as a key determinant of economic stability and social status, yet its role in shaping health outcomes has received relatively little attention compared to income. While income reflects short-term financial resources, wealth—comprising assets such as property, savings, pensions and investments—offers a more comprehensive picture of long-term financial security.
