Stress in early stages of life may expose a person 
to bad health in coming years of life.
Those who are exposed to pressure and stress 
whether prompt by family or society they are
 more likely to suffer from depression‚ heart 
disease and diabetes.
Scientists from University of virgina found out
 that the sense of control tends to decline as one
 descends the socioeconomic ladder‚ with 
potentially grave consequences.
Those on the bottom are more than three times 
as likely to die prematurely as those at the top.
Perhaps most devastating‚ the stress of poverty early in life can have consequences that
 last into adulthood.
Even those who later ascend economically may show persistent effects of early-life hardship.
 Scientists find them more prone to illness than those who were never poor.
Educational attainment and school performance have long been linked to socioeconomic
 class‚ and a divergence in skills is evident quite early in life.
These associations raise profound questions about stress' role in hindering life achievement.
