Key result
An adverse adult socioeconomic score of ≥4 was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident heart failure compared to a score of 0 (HR 2.19; 95% CI 1.34-3.55).
Why the study?
Do adverse socioeconomic measures increase the risk of incident heart failure in older men?
Cohort (n=3,836)
Yes
Do adverse socioeconomic measures increase the risk of incident heart failure in older men?
Effect estimate: HR 2.19 (95% CI 1.34-3.55)
p-value: p=< 0.0001
Adverse socioeconomic position is associated with an increased risk of incident heart failure in older men, which is only partially explained by established cardiovascular risk factors.

Adverse adult SES may elevate incident HF risk in older men; extends prior associations but leaves causality and interventions open.
Ramsay et al. (2013) conducted a cohort in Heart failure (n=3,836). Adverse adult socioeconomic measures (score ≥ 4) vs. Score of 0 was evaluated on Incident heart failure (HR 2.19, 95% CI 1.34-3.55, p=< 0.0001). An adverse adult socioeconomic score of ≥4 was associated with a significantly higher risk of incident heart failure compared to a score of 0 (HR 2.19; 95% CI 1.34-3.55).
