BACKGROUND: A greater burden of @entity64 risk factors in general is associated with a higher risk for @entity64 among @entity1 of lower than those of higher socioeconomic position. The relative impact of individual @entity64 risk factors is still unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied the relations between socioeconomic position, measured as household income and length of education, and all hospital admissions for a first @entity385 among 54 048 @entity1 over the age of 40 years in Denmark in 2003-2012 in comparison with the general Danish population (23.5 million @entity1 -years). We also studied the @entity65 factor profile associated with socioeconomic position in @entity64 @entity1 . Relative risks for @entity64 were estimated in log-linear Poisson regression models. The risk for hospitalization for a first @entity385 was almost doubled for @entity1 in the lowest income group, and the risk of those of working age (<65 years) was increased by 36% among @entity1 with the shortest education. @entity6 , @entity28 , smoking, and high @entity167 consumption in particular and, to a lesser extent, previous @entity583 or intermittent arterial claudication were significantly overrepresented among @entity64 @entity1 with lower socioeconomic position. @entity955 and @entity101 were not. CONCLUSIONS: In Denmark, there is a strong relation between low socioeconomic position and risk for hospitalization for @entity64 . Lifestyle, as indicated by smoking, @entity28 , and @entity167 consumption, and @entity6 appears to increase the risk for @entity64 in @entity1 with lower socioeconomic position.
