rationing health care for the elderly 2

This question is comprised of three parts. In the introduction to Chapter 3 of your text, Cockerham states:

Four of the most important variables employed in epidemiological research are age, gender, race and socioeconomic status. It has been found that each of these four variables represents important differences between people that correlate with health and life expectancy. (p. 40)

As instructed below, please discuss the relationship of age to each of the other three variables – gender, race and socioeconomic status ¬- in terms of the implications for health and life expectancy of the elderly. (A 1½-page response is required for the combination of Parts A, B, and C.)
