High social disadvantage linked to heart risk like mild artery calcium
Cardiovascular event rates were 3.77 per 1,000 person-years with high social disadvantage and no artery calcium, versus 3.12 with mild calcium and high disadvantage.Cardiovascular event rates were 3.77 per 1,000 person-years with high social disadvantage and no artery calcium, versus 3.12 with mild calcium and high disadvantage.
Cohort · 2,901 peoplePopulations
Who was studied2,901 adults with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, median 10 years
What changedHighly disadvantaged adults had similar cardiovascular event rates without artery calcium (3.77 per 1,000 person-years) versus mild calcium (3.12)
The catchHealth differences beyond age, sex and race could explain the higher cardiovascular event rates
