Main finding
As reported in the abstract
All-cause mortality, by ASCVD status
Adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI)
SDoH-Q4vs SDoH-Q1adults with ASCVD
1.55(1.22–1.96)
SDoH-Q4vs SDoH-Q1adults without ASCVD
2.21(1.91–2.56)
Co-occurring ASCVD and high social disadvantageup to four-fold higher risk of mortality
3.81(3.36–4.32)
