Does socioeconomic deprivation increase mortality from cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and stroke in working-age US adults?
Effect estimate: 2.7 to 3.7 times higher risk
Socioeconomic disparities in cardiovascular mortality among working-age US adults have widened substantially between 1969 and 2011.
Gopal Singh (2014) conducted an observational in Cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and stroke mortality. Area deprivation and low socioeconomic status vs. Most affluent group / high socioeconomic status was evaluated on CVD, heart disease, and stroke mortality (2.7 to 3.7 times higher risk). Low education and income were associated with 2.7 to 3.7 times higher CVD, heart disease, and stroke mortality risks compared to high socioeconomic status, with disparities widening from 1969 to 2011.
