  1. Socioeconomic disadvantage is linked with higher abdominal aortic calcium in humans (comparing most disadvantaged group (ADI > 80) to least disadvantaged group (ADI < 20)) (OR = 3.8, p < .001).

    “most disadvantaged group had significantly higher odds of having high-risk body composition measures: Aortic calcium OR = 3.8”
