Among the factors affecting labor productivity, the shortage in food intake can seriously affect productivity. The purpose of this study is to examine the Poverty Nutrition Trap, which is rooted in the theory of efficiency wage, highlighting the importance of malnutrition and poverty. This study's data were obtained by survey and completed by questionnaire in 1395 among 220 households living in Shahid Ghorbani district of Mashhad. A simultaneous equation system was used to investigate the existence of the Poverty Nutrition Trap. The results showed that the residents' bundle of food was significantly different from the average urban and provincial households. Results also revealed that the studied area inhabitants had spent almost half of the average cost of meat for urban households of Khorasan Razavi province and Iran. This issue also arose for the expenditure on high nutrients, including milk, eggs, fruits, and vegetables. The simultaneous equations system results showed that despite the low use of nutrients by the inhabitants of this area, the cycle of nutrition-based poverty had not been formed among them, and inadequate nutrition has not led to the vicious cycle of reduced income, reduced productivity, and inadequate nutrition. Therefore, other factors influencing the formation of poverty in the region should be identified to propose appropriate policies to reduce poverty.

Today, two factors, poverty and mental health, are among the most important and influential issues related to informal settlements. Since it seems necessary to address the issue of poverty and health in order to provide, maintain and promote the health of people in marginalized areas, it is necessary to examine the causal relationship between poverty and health and assess their impact on the lives of marginalized citizens. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to analyze the effects of poverty on mental health in the study area. In this regard, the present study is in terms of applied purpose, in terms of descriptive-analytical nature. The statistical population of this study is citizens living in the suburbs of Ardabil (Iranabad) (4,000 people). 352 people were determined by Cochran's mathematical formula method and they were sampled by simple random method. In this regard, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the components of poor poverty and mental health, the structural analysis model of partial minimum squares in the form of Smart-PLS software has been used. The research results also show that there is a significant and inverse relationship between ability poverty and health and this type of poverty has a high impact on the mental health of citizens.
