Overview

Caution against uniform socioeconomic models across ethnic groups; extends calls for disaggregated CV inequality research.

Structured PICO

P
Population
1,509 adults aged 25-74 years in Newcastle, comprising South Asians (n=684: Indians n=259, Pakistanis n=305, Bangladeshis n=120) and Europeans (n=825).
O
Outcome
Number of associations in the predicted direction between socio-economic status and prevalence of coronary heart disease, glucose intolerance, and related risk factors

Socio-economic inequalities in cardiovascular risk factors follow expected patterns more consistently in Europeans than in South Asian subgroups, highlighting the need for disaggregated ethnic data in health inequality research.
