Sustained socio-economic inequalities in hospital admissions for cardiovascular events among people with diabetes in England
Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and premature mortality and is a substantial contributor to health inequalities globally1. The risk of morbidity and death, particularly cardiovascular mortality, shows marked variations according to socio-economic status, as measured by income, education, social class and area-based deprivation indices2. Lower socio-economic status is also a powerful predictor of higher incidence of Type 2 diabetes as well as its acute and long-term complications3.
