Figure 4. Proportion of Women Age 65 or Over Enrolled in Medicare Managed Care Reporting Fair or Poor Health, by Annual Income.

• The proportion of women reporting that they are in fair or poor health declines with each increase in income level.
• Women reporting annual household incomes of less than $10,000 are more than twice as likely to report fair or poor health compared with women reporting annual household incomes of more than $50,000.
