Study: Belonging To This American Class Means A Far Higher Risk Of A Fatal Heart Attack

A new study reveals a person's risk for having a heart attack, and dying of one, is linked to lower socioeconomic status.

According to UPI, lower socioeconomic status is exemplified by a lack of resources for safe housing, nutritious food, and access to healthcare.

Contributory factors to heart disease include smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes.

They account for roughly 40% of the increased risk.
