A long-term study has found that poverty reduces brain volume, lowers cognitive abilities, and accelerates aging.

MRI scans showed more pronounced brain atrophy in these individuals, particularly among men. The study suggests that chronic stress due to money issues increases inflammation levels and speeds up aging.
