MEASURING DEVICE FOR HEALTH
INCOME, A MEASURING DEVICE FOR HEALTH EXPENDITURE AND FAMILY HEALTH STATUS

A person's income is a true measuring tool to identify their health status and, ultimately, a nation's economy. It has been estimated that an average salary person's expenses are according to their monthly income. It also helps to measure living standards and expenses other than basic needs. Health is the factor on which every family spends money, irrespective of their willingness. Our study aims to correlate the income of different professionals and their expenses on their health. A good salary person expenses more on health. This study helped to find the correlation between income, health, and status of health among the sample population. The quantitative data were collected from careful sample selection. The designed questionnaire's provide information regarding accurate salary, medical expenses, health expenses and the current status of family health. A person's income directly relates to health expenses and health status. They facilitate their family's expensive medical assistance and nutritionist in case of good salary packages and stand on excellent health status. The reverse is in the case of low-income families and their health status. Income directly relates to medical assistance and facilities a family can acquire.
