Association between education and the risk of incident coronary heart disease among middle-aged and older Chinese: the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort

Abstract Educational achievement was related to cardiovascular disease in some western populations, but prospective evidence on the relationship between education and the risk of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in Asians is scarce. We aimed to explore this association and the potential modifyi...
