Risk factor: socioeconomic status
11“Wealth is both an enemy and a friend.”
Nepalese proverb
In developing countries, coronaryheart disease has historically beenmore common in the moreeducated and highersocioeconomic groups, but this isbeginning to change. In industrialcountries, such as Canada, theUnited Kingdom, and the UnitedStates, there is a widening socialclass difference in the oppositedirection.
Studies in developed countriessuggest that low income isassociated with a higher incidenceof coronary heart disease, andwith higher mortality after a heartattack. The prevalence of risk factors for heart disease, such ashigh blood pressure, smoking anddiabetes, is also higher. The use of medications is lower, especially of lipid-lowering agents and ACEinhibitors, as well as othertreatments, such as cardiaccatheterization.
The pathways by whichsocioeconomic status might affectcardiovascular disease include:lifestyle and behaviour patterns;ease of access to health care; andchronic stress.
