Wang SY, Tan ASL, Claggett B, et al. - Through the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities study of 15,792 middle-aged, community-dwelling adults (n = 8,989 involved), researchers investigated the correlation between variation in household income and following risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A total of 900 individuals encountered an income drop, 6,284 had incomes that persisted to be relatively consistent, and 1,805 had an income growth. Following full adjustment, in comparison to those whose incomes persisted to be relatively stable, those with an income drop encountered a significantly greater risk of incident CVD. Those with an income rise encountered a markedly lower risk of incident CVD in contrast with those whose incomes remained comparatively consistent. Hence, income drop over 6 years was found out to be related to a greater risk of following incident CVD over 17 years, while income growth over 6 years was related to lower risk of succeeding incident CVD over 17 years. Moreover, health professionals should have a more prominent knowledge of the impact of the change of income on the health of their patients.
