In Table 1, we show self-reported health, number of symptoms reported in the last 30 days, BMI, the fraction of individuals with a hemoglobin count below 12, peak flow meter, and the fractions of individuals with high blood pressure and low blood pressure, broken down by third of the per capita income distribution. Although the pattern is not always consistent across the groups, individuals in the lower third of the per capita income distribution have, on average, a lower level of self-reported health, lower BMI, and lower lung capacity, and they are more likely to have a hemoglobin count below 12 than those in the upper third. Individuals in the upper third report the most symptoms over the last 30 days, perhaps because they are more aware of their own health status; there is a long tradition in the Indian and developing country literature of better-off people reporting more sickness (see e.g., Christopher Murray and Lincoln C. Chen, 1992; Amartya K. Sen, 2002).
