Men who had been in hospital for myocardial infarction (MI) were compared with other male patients in an attempt to provide evidence on the hypothesis linking MI with poverty in childhood followed by relative affluence. In each of three social class groupings MI patients came from larger families than controls, and a higher proportion of their fathers had been unemployed for more than a year during their childhood. This gives some support to the hypothesis that childhood poverty may be associated with an excess risk of MI. There was no obvious evidence of a greater improvement in social class status among the MI patients compared with the controls.
研究人员将曾因心肌梗死（MI）住院的男性与其他男性患者进行了比较，旨在为心肌梗死与童年贫困随后相对富裕这一假说提供证据。在三个社会阶层分组中，心肌梗死患者所在家庭均比对照组的家庭规模更大，且在他们童年时期，其父亲失业超过一年的比例更高。这为童年贫困可能与心肌梗死风险增加有关这一假说提供了一定支持。与对照组相比，没有明显证据表明心肌梗死患者的社会阶层地位有更大改善。
