Figure 2

Crude incidence rates of first cardiovascular event (i.e. stroke or coronary event) by educational level in the whole population (shown as dark grey and light grey bars) and in a low-risk population (i.e., with no hypertension, no hypercholesterolemia and no current smoking) (shown as light grey bars). ARD I stands for absolute difference in incidence rate between those with less than 9 years of education and those with more than 12 years of education in the whole population. ARD III stands for the corresponding difference in the low-risk population.
