Health and development are linked concepts. The pioneering studies of Samuel H. Preston (1975) showed a strong, positive and non-linear correlation between life expectancy (longevity) and the per capita income of countries at three different times (1900s, 1930s and 1960s) [1]. In Brazil, research from various disciplines has found results that corroborate and dialogue with international research in identifying associations between socioeconomic status and health, confirming that those in underprivileged situations have the worst health conditions, whether from the point of view of income or better educational level [2].
