  • Low educational attainment is associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the United States adult population

    Open AccessNajah Khan, Zulqarnain Javed et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Lower educational attainment is independently associated with increased risk of all-cause and CVD mortality in both the total and ASCVD populations, with the highest risk observed for individuals with < HS education. Future efforts to understand persistent disparities in CVD and all-cause mortality should pay close attention to the role of education, and include educational attainment as an independent predictor in mortality risk prediction algor…
