Socioeconomic inequalities in cardiovascular disease: a causal perspective

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 11 October 2023; doi:10.1038/s41569-023-00941-8Low socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but whether this association is causal is uncertain.
