- Abstract
Coronary heart disease (CHD) and mortality are unevenly distributed between social classes, the lower being disadvantaged compared with the higher. Adverse social circumstances in childhood have been related to an increased risk of CHD and mortality in adulthood. The present purpose was to investigate the effect of differences in social disadvantage in early life on later differences in risk of CHD, all-cause mortality, and cardiovascular mortality between socioeconomic groups among Swedish men aged 40-50.
