Structured PICO

Participants from the 2005–2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)

Socioeconomic status remains a strong, independent predictor of ASCVD and mortality even after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular health metrics.

Abstract

Our study confirmed that the SES was strongly linked to living with ASCVD, and cause-specific and all-cause mortality, even after adjusting for other factors that could impact risk, such as the American Heart Association (AHA)'s Life's Simple 7 cardiovascular health score and variables of age, sex, marital status, education, and depression severity.
