*

Among men in England the prevalence of heart disease increases markedly with deprivation. The rate of CHD among men in the most deprived group is one third higher than among men in the least deprived group. This pattern is even more marked among women where those in the most deprived group have a rate of CHD at least 50% greater than those in the least deprived group.

 

Similar patterns are seen in the prevalence of stroke. Men in the most deprived group have at least 60% greater risk of stroke than those in the least deprived group. Among women the difference is just under 50%.

 

These graduated patterns are not as clear for hypertension or raised blood pressure.
