Rural Health Recap: Age, Income, and Health Status in Rural Communities. The Rural Health Research Centers provide timely, quality, national research on the most pressing rural health issues, occasionally exploring the same topics from various perspectives. The Rural Health Research Gateway compiles key findings on shared topics from the research centers into Rural Health Research Recaps. Most recently, a Recap was developed from studies that cover the implications of income or age on health-seeking behavior, health status, access, or utilization of care, and what it means for older and lower-income individuals living in rural communities.
