Understanding Health State Comparison Between Age Groups

How does Jake's health at 55 years old compare to people in their 70s and 80s?

1. Jake is healthier

2. Jake's health is the same

3. Jake's health is poorer

The correct answer is: Jake's health is poorer.

Health state may be considered to be poorer because of many factors that may affect an individual's health. First, vices may affect a person's health especially if they are into smoking or drinking. Second, the environment may affect a person's health especially if it is not suitable for the person to live in.

A 55-year-old person is considered to be poorer in health compared to a 70 or 80-year-old person, because of the different existing factors.
