Most people are worried about the health of economy. But does the economy also affect your body health?

It does, but not always the ways you might expect. The data(数据) on how an economic downturn influences an individual’s health is mixed.

It’s clear that a long-term economic rise leads to improvements in a population’s overall health, in developing and developed societies alike.

But whether the short-term economic fall will damage your own health depends on your health habits when times are good. And economic studies suggest that people usually do not take care of themselves in good times—drinking too much, dining on fattier restaurant meals and skipping exercises.

“The value of time is higher during good economic times,” said Grant Miller, a professor of medicine at Stanford. “so people work more and do less of the things that are good for them, like cooking at home and exercising. ”

Similar patterns have been seen in some developing nations. Dr. Miller, who is studying the effects of fluctuating coffee prices on health in Colombia where coffee plays an important role in economy development, says that although falling prices are bad for the economy, they appear to improve the population’s overall health. When prices are low, laborers have time to enjoy their own life such as doing housework, exercising and taking care of their children, etc.

“When coffee prices suddenly rise, people work harder on their coffee fields and spend less time doing things around the home, including things that are good for their children,” he said.

Christopher J. Rohm, professor of economics at University of North Carolina. US shares similar ideas.
