Figure 2From: C-reactive protein, established risk factors and social inequalities in cardiovascular disease – the significance of absolute versus relative measures of disease 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.Back to article page
