Lower socioeconomic status is often associated with higher rates of death from coronary artery disease compared to those with a higher socioeconomic status. A recent study conducted by Dr. Yachen Zhu of the Alcohol Research Group in the U.S. and Dr. Charlotte Probst of the Center for Addiction and Mental Health in Canada has shed light on the factors contributing to these disparities.

Published in the open-access journal PLOS Medicine on September 17, the study focused on unhealthy behaviors as potential explanations for the observed differences in mortality rates from coronary artery disease. The researchers analyzed data from over 500,000 individuals aged 25 and older, looking at demographics and health behaviors reported in the National Health Interview Survey and mortality statuses recorded in the National Death Index.

The primary indicators for socioeconomic status in the study were education levels, and the researchers honed in on four key behavioral risk factors: smoking, alcohol use, physical inactivity, and BMI. Their analysis revealed that these four factors collectively accounted for 74% of the variations in mortality risk from coronary artery disease among men of different socioeconomic backgrounds, and 61% among women.

The findings underscore the importance of addressing these unhealthy behaviors through targeted public health policies and interventions. With smoking, physical inactivity, alcohol intake, and BMI playing significant roles in influencing heart disease mortality rates, tailored messaging and outreach efforts are essential to raise awareness and promote heart-healthy behaviors among individuals, particularly those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

The researchers emphasize the need for comprehensive public health campaigns that address these behaviors both individually and collectively to reduce the socioeconomic disparities in deaths from coronary artery disease in the U.S. By targeting these modifiable risk factors and implementing effective strategies to promote heart health, strides can be made towards narrowing the gap in cardiovascular outcomes across different socioeconomic strata.

In conclusion, the study highlights the interconnectedness of unhealthy behaviors and socioeconomic status in influencing mortality rates from coronary artery disease. By tackling these risk factors head-on and implementing targeted interventions, public health efforts can play a pivotal role in reducing the burden of heart disease and improving overall cardiovascular health outcomes in diverse populations.
