Does low socioeconomic status increase the risk of myocardial infarction in the Stockholm population?
The relative and population attributable risks of MI from low socioeconomic status increased over time in Sweden, highlighting the public health impact of social inequity.
Johan Hallqvist (1998) conducted an observational in Myocardial infarction. Low socioeconomic status vs. High- and middle-level employees was evaluated on Incidence of myocardial infarction. Low socioeconomic status was associated with an increasing relative risk and population attributable risk of myocardial infarction from 1971 to 1994 in Sweden.
