Does living in low-income neighborhoods increase the incidence of acute myocardial infarction compared to high-income neighborhoods?
Effect estimate: IRR 1.88 for women, 1.52 for men
Living in low-income neighborhoods is associated with a significantly higher incidence of acute myocardial infarction, with a synergistic effect observed in women with low personal income.
rne et al. (2005) conducted a case-control in Myocardial Infarction. Low-income neighborhood vs. High-income neighborhood was evaluated on First event of acute myocardial infarction (IRR 1.88 for women, 1.52 for men). Living in a low-income neighborhood compared with a high-income neighborhood was associated with an increased risk of first acute myocardial infarction (IRR 1.88 for women and 1.52 for men).
