SES and Multimorbidity Among Black Women and Men: A Case of Diminishing Returns?

GSA 2025 Abstract

Abstract

Higher socioeconomic status (SES) is typically associated with better health, but research suggests that Black Americans do not experience the same health benefits from SES as other groups. While multimorbidity (MM) is a growing public health concern, few studies have examined how SES influences MM among Black Americans.
