This study investigated stroke differentials by socioeconomic position in adulthood.
The relation of risk of stroke to deprivation category and social class was assessed among 6955 men and 7992 women who were aged 45 to 64 years and had been screened in 1972 to 1976.
A total of 594 men and 677 women had a hospital admission for stroke or died from stroke. There were large differences in stroke by deprivation category or social class. Adjustment for risk factors (smoking, blood pressure, height, respiratory function, body mass index, cholesterol, diabetes, and preexisting heart disease) attenuated these differences.
Risk factors for stroke can explain some of the socioeconomic differences in stroke risk. Women living in the most deprived areas seem particularly at risk of stroke.
本研究调查了成年期社会经济地位与中风差异之间的关系。
在6955名男性和7992名女性中评估中风风险与贫困类别和社会阶层的关系,这些人年龄在45至64岁之间,于1972年至1976年接受过筛查。
共有594名男性和677名女性因中风入院或死于中风。贫困类别或社会阶层在中风方面存在很大差异。对风险因素(吸烟、血压、身高、呼吸功能、体重指数、胆固醇、糖尿病和既往心脏病)进行调整后,这些差异有所减弱。
中风的风险因素可以解释中风风险中一些社会经济差异。生活在最贫困地区的女性似乎尤其面临中风风险。
