Study: High education reduces the risk of heart attack
The 2019 guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association have suggested using patients' social factors in clinical prediction tools for heart disease since education is often a stronger predictor than traditional biomedical risk factors like cholesterol and diabetes.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also has proposed that patients' educational attainment be used as an input in determining physician payments for performance, to encourage physicians to care for more disadvantaged patients. Hamad said this type of data could inform those efforts. While more education also was associated with improved high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or "good" cholesterol, the researchers found that more education also was associated with a higher body-mass index (BMI) and total cholesterol.
A possible explanation is that high-income people born between 1900-1950 tended to eat richer diets, they said. By contrast, higher BMI today tends to be associated more with low income, due to the inability to afford healthy food.
Overall, according to the researchers, people with more education may have reduced heart disease because they have higher incomes, allowing them to afford better food and health care. Or, it may be that they have more resources and therefore less stress, which has been previously linked with heart disease." Hamad said. The researchers are further examining how these same policies affect health care costs and whether the policies reduce racial disparities in heart disease.
