1. Generally, if he is eating unhealthy and affected by many social factors, his lifespan may shorten.
2. His intake energy doesn’t balance with output energy as he is working hard and doesn’t have enough food, unwanted weight loss can occur. 
3. Since he is 53 years old, he might get osteoporosis because when we get older, our bone becomes weaker.
4. Because he is poor, he cannot get enough kinds of necessary nutrients that he needs in his age: 

• Protein is an essential nutrient. If he is lack of protein, the muscle becomes weak, it can lead to poor balance and it’s easier to fall and broke your bone
• He seriously needs calcium because it can reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis. If he cannot afford to consume calcium, he has the high risk of getting this disease.
