Socioeconomic status and cardiovascular disease.
Abstract: To the Editor: We congratulate Dr A Steptoe and associates on their extensive epidemiological research concerning cardiovascular risk and its association with pathogen burden depending on socioeconomic status.1 Since the middle of the 20th century, cardiovascular risk in the populations of Europe and the United States has shown a reverse dependence on economic and professional status. Many researchers, including the authors of this study, have attempted to find …

Socioeconomic status and cardiovascular disease.
TL;DR: Having assessed the total cardiovascular risk, the existence of higher-level coronary artery disease risk in patients with vocational education than in people with higher education is observed, in accord with those recorded and currently observed in many European countries, where researchers have noticed a reverse dependence of coronary arteries disease on high standard of living.

TL;DR: Increases in the thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery, as measured noninvasively by ultrasonography, are directly associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults without a history of cardiovascular disease.

TL;DR: There has been a consistent inverse relation between cardiovascular disease, primarily coronary heart disease, and many of the indicators of SES, and evidence for this relation has been derived from prevalence, prospective, and retrospective cohort studies.
