Objective:
Examination of the development of socio-economic differences in mortality because of ischemic heart disease (IHD) in The Netherlands during 1996-2022.
Design:
Repeated cross-sectional research.
Methods:
The socio-economic position (SEP) of people is determined by deciles of the combination of disposable income and wealth of the corresponding household, and subsequently related to IHD-mortality. The data came from Statistics Netherlands.
Results:
The socio-economic inequality in IHD-mortality showed for men first a decrease which weakened gradually and subsequently shifted into an increase from 2014 onwards. The difference between lowest and highest financial wealth increased from 4.9 IHD-deaths per 10 thousand to 6.3 IHD-deaths in 2022. For women, the inequality also decreased in the beginning, but remained from 2014 onwards constant.
Conclusion:
Inequality in IHD-mortality between high and low SEP persists for both men and women. By taking these differences into account, prevention can be worked on more specifically.
