A new study conducted by researchers at Brigham and Women's Hospital investigates the relationship between wealth mobility and long-term cardiovascular health
Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD and Master of Public Health from Brigham's Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, said: "Low wealth is a risk factor that can dynamically change a person's life and affect a person's cardiovascular health
This retrospective study used data from the RAND Health and Retirement Study (HRS)
Dr Sara Machado, an economist in the Department of Health Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, said: "Although income and wealth can be used interchangeably in informal settings, they actually provide different and complementary perspectives
For the purpose of this study, upward wealth mobility is defined as an increase of at least one fifth of wealth.
"The decrease in wealth is related to more stress, fewer healthy behaviors, and less leisure time, all of which are related to poorer cardiovascular health," said Andrew Suma, MD, University of Texas Southwestern Hospital Department of Medicine.
In terms of limitations, all interviews and new diagnosis reports are self-reported by participants
The research team hopes that their findings can provide information for future health policies and medical literature
"Wealth and health are so tightly integrated, we can no longer separate them," Vaduganathan said
