title: The influence of socioeconomic factors on cardiovascular disease risk factor development.
abstract: In the industrialized, urban United States, there is an increasingly strong inverse association of socioeconomic status (SES) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and mortality. The large difference in levels and trends in CVD risk associated with SES indicates a major potential for primordial prevention if carried out at both individual and community levels and with broader socioeconomic improvements.
