- ... that an ancient Chinese medical text, the Pulling Book, suggests that if you are of a low social status, you will have many illnesses and die more easily?

- Long enough and well sourced. Just one quibble regarding the hook: it sounds like people of low social status would die an easy death, whereas the author presumably meant that they are more likely to die due to their unhealthy way of life. Alaexis¿question? 14:32, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- The cited quote literally says "easily" 😁 but I have absolutely no problem with modifying the hook to read "more likely" if that suits your semantic fancy. Cheers, Kingoflettuce (talk) 20:38, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Well, in the quote it follows "having more illnesses" so there is no ambiguity. Maybe just use the full quote: "if you are of a low social status, you will have more illnesses and die more easily?" Alaexis¿question? 21:34, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- Also, it's a really small thing, but the quote appears on page 27 (rather than 26) and says "many illnesses." Alaexis¿question? 21:40, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
- My bad, fixed. Thanks for doing your due diligence! :) Have changed the hook slightly. Kingoflettuce (talk) 15:20, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Overall: 
The hook is good. I think it would also work well with a longer hook, e.g. "if you are of a low social status, you will have many illnesses and die more easily because ..." Alaexis¿question? 17:53, 18 September 2021 (UTC)
