Structured PICO

Does higher socio-economic status associate with an increased prevalence of coronary artery disease and risk factors in a rural North Indian population?

P
Population
1,767 subjects (894 males and 875 females; 25-64 years of age) randomly selected from two villages in the Moradabad district in North India.
I
Intervention
Higher socio-economic status (Social classes 1 and 2)
C
Comparator
Lower socio-economic status (Social classes 3 and 4)
O
Outcome
Prevalence of coronary artery disease and coronary risk factors (hypercholesterolaemia, hypertension, sedentary lifestyle, BMI, triglycerides, blood pressure)

In rural North India, higher socio-economic status is associated with a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease and traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
