Why the study?
Does education level impact the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in Mexican adults?
Does education level impact the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in Mexican adults?
Lower education levels are strongly associated with an increased risk of cardiometabolic abnormalities such as obesity, hypertension, and hyperglycemia in Mexican adults.
May warrant education-stratified screening in Mexican adults; hypothesis-generating for socioeconomic interventions.
health are yet obscure. In this matter, several studies have found strong associations among social factors (amidst them, education) and the development of such diseases Cohort studies have reported an inverse relationship between the social gradient (term implying that the lower socioeconomic and education strata of a society is associated, at the same time, with the worst health conditions) and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS). Moreover, subjects with lowgrade education, exhibit a three-fold increase in mortality rates when compared to those with higher educational grades [6-10]. As example, Andreenko et al demonstrated that men with university education have lower mean values of body mass index (BMI) than men with just primary and secondary education
