Regional variation in cardiovascular mortality in Australia 2009-2012: the impact of remoteness and socioeconomic status.

CONCLUSION: Socioeconomic status explained a substantial proportion of the association between where a person resides and CVD mortality rates; however, remoteness has an effect above and beyond SES for a number of subpopulations. Implications for public health: This study highlights the need to focus on both socioeconomic disadvantage and accessibility to reduce CVD mortality in regional and remote Australia.
