Low education and employment status drive cardiometabolic health: a social determinants perspective in Chinese population.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome has emerged a major strain on healthcare systems worldwide, with marked disparities in incidence across different regions, which are partly attributed to social determinants of health (SDOH). While research has touched upon the link between SDOH and CKM, and isolated SDOH factor's influence on cardiovascular health has been probed in China, evaluation of how SDOH collectively affect CKM in Chinese population remains underexplored in a systematic fashion.

Methods

The study drew on Shanghai community population (STONE cohort, n = 4,066) recruited via a three-phase stratified sampling scheme. Standardized interviews captured education, marital status, employment, household income, and neighborhood characteristics
