Neighborhood socioeconomic status and the prevalence of stroke and coronary heart disease in rural China: A population‐based study

ConclusionsThere were differences in vascular risk across rural villages in China, with higher lifetime stroke and CHD prevalence in higher‐income villages. For CHD, neighborhood effects were stronger among younger residents of high‐income villages. The results may have implications for public health interventions targeting populations at risk.
