Population

Men aged 20-64 years in two large cross-sectional representative samples of the English population (1984 Health and Lifestyle Survey, excluding Scotland and Wales, and the 1993 Health Survey for England).

Outcome

Change in the relative index of inequality for seven known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (body mass index, waist to hip ratio, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, consumption of fresh green vegetables, leisure time exercise, cigarette smoking and levels of social support).surrogate

Despite widening inequalities in cardiovascular mortality among men in England between 1984 and 1993, the social distribution of cardiovascular risk factors did not become more extreme, suggesting other mechanisms or lagged effects.
