Socioeconomic differences
The number of people dying from from
cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary heart disease (CHD)
varies across socioeconomic groups.
Death rates in 2001/03 were all highest in the lowest
socioeconomic group. The inequalities were more striking in women
than men, with a CHD death rate in female workers with routine jobs
five times higher than those with managerial or professional
jobs.
While deaths from CHD have declined overall, there appears to
have been no narrowing in the differences between the most deprived
and least deprived groups for either men or women.
