TL;DRAbstract

Introduction: Although socioeconomic deprivation (SED) has been identified as an important risk factor for myocardial infarction (MI), it is not clear whether it predicts outcome after adjustment for traditional risk factors. The relative importance of SED as a predictor of fatal versus non-fatal outcomes and in men versus women is also uncertain. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that SED is an independent predictor of both first hospitalization for MI and MI death (and equally so in men and women). Methods: We examined outcomes in 15,378 men and women initially surveyed between 1972–76 in Renfrew and Paisley, Scotland, and followed until 3/31/2004. Hazards ratios (HR) for a first admission with a MI (as principal diagnosis) and death from MI were calculated using Cox Regression. All analyses were adjusted for age, body mass index, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, ECG ischemia, and a history of diabetes, angina or stroke. Deprivation was defined using the seven c
