In a certain community, elderly people who were born in that community have significantly worse health than elderly people who moved to the community in the last five years.

Since this is an “Except” question, we’re looking for anything that doesn’t explain the health differences between the two groups of elderly community residence. The correct answer will not give any reason why the elderly people who’ve lived in the community their whole lives have worse health, or why the ones who moved in recently are in relatively better health.

The elderly people who’ve moved into the community are well-off, and therefore more likely to be in good health. This explains the difference between the two groups.

We’re comparing two groups of elderly people. We don’t care about young people who’ve moved into the community, so this doesn’t help resolve anything.

Elderly people who’ve lived in the community their entire lives have had to make do with worse healthcare than those who haven’t, hence why they’re in worse health.

Elderly people who recently moved to the community benefited from the move. And elderly people who’ve lived in the community their entire lives have never gotten the benefit of changing their environment.

The people who moved to the community were already healthy when they decided to move. This explains why they’re healthier than the existing residents, who we can assume are average in health.
