Excerpt
Introduction Although cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been falling as a major cause of death in developed countries, it is on the increase in developing countries (1–3). It has been shown consistently that socioeconomic status (SES) is inversely associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (4–8). In developed countries, the declining trend in CVD has been more pronounced among individuals in higher socioeconomic groups, and the differences in the occurrence of CVD between higher and the lower socioeconomic groups is widening (8–12). Regardless of which measure of SES is used, there is abundant evidence for the existence of an inverse relationship between SES and cardiovascular risk factors in developed countries, with only few exceptions (12). Preventive activities contributing to the decline in CVD might have had a greater impact on individuals’ health in higher socioeconomic groups and resulted in widening cardiovascular disparities in industrialized societies (13, 14).
