[Risk of cardiovascular death and social status in the Tumen cohort: results 12 years prospective study].

Risk of cardiovascular death in female and male population was the highest among persons with low level of education, persons belonging to heavy manual labor occupational group, as well as in business executives in female population. According to marital status RR was high among single, widowed, and divorced men. No conclusive data were obtained on association of marital status and RR of cardiovascular death in female population.
