Why did rich people generally live longer than poor people in medieval times?

The wealthy would have eaten a variety of nutritious meals with good ingredients. On the other hand the poor were only able to afford a few different vegetables and meat. These were unlikely to be the same quality as the rich could afford. The poor would mainly eat grains that they had grown whereas the rich would eat refined wheat and meat from the livestock. The better diet of the rich would have increased their live expectancy.
