Abstract

Objectives. This study examined the association between educational attainment and coronary heart disease (CHD) and the factors that may explain this association. Methods.

Compared with the adjusted odds ratio for CHD associated with college education, the age-adjusted odds ratio associated with mandatory education (≤9 years) was 1.87 (95% confidence interval [CI]=1.23, 2.84) and the odds ratio for high school education was 1.35 (95% CI=0.81, 2.25) (P for trend
