Overview

Education remained the dominant SES correlate of CV risk factors after adjustment; extends Western patterns but leaves open causal mechanisms and interventions.

Structured PICO

Does socioeconomic status correlate with cardiovascular risk factors in the Czech Republic?

P
Population
1141 men and 1212 women (total n=2353) resident in six Czech districts participating in the MONICA study in 1992
O
Outcome
Association between socioeconomic status (education and material conditions) and cardiovascular risk factors (total and HDL cholesterol, BMI, WHR, height, smoking, hypertension)surrogate

Socioeconomic differences in cardiovascular risk factors in the Czech Republic in 1992 were strongly related to education rather than material conditions, mirroring patterns seen in Western Europe.
