A new study shows that having a low social status can bad for our health. The study on monkeys. Researchers from Duke University in the USA at the behaviour and health of 45 female monkeys and that those with a lower social status had more health problems. The monkeys were up into five groups of nine. The researchers the monkeys in each group time to get to each other. Then they took one monkey from each group and her into another group. This meant she was the "new girl" and at the bottom of the group. When scientists the health of the monkeys, they found that the "new girl" was unhealthier than the other monkeys.

The researchers said that although their study on monkeys, the findings could also true for humans because we a lot of our DNA with monkeys. Professor Graham Rook, from University College London, the BBC News that the findings of the study may also to humans. He said governments must that people with a lower social status more from health problems. He said that just because "people at the bottom" got cars and TVs, it does not mean they happy. If they feel they are at the bottom compared with richer people, their health will . People who are richer can live up to two decades longer than those who are poorer.
