Does educational attainment modify the relationship between alcohol use and ischemic heart disease mortality? Evidence from the UK biobank

Key Points

• Ischemic heart disease mortality significantly varies with educational attainment and alcohol use.
• Higher educational attainment appears to lower the mortality risk associated with heavy alcohol use.
• Analysis based on UK Biobank data shows complex relationships between these variables.
• Findings indicate that targeted public health strategies may reduce mortality risks in lower-educated individuals.
