TL;DR
Among blacks, CDH rates were highest in counties with intermediate levels of occupational structure; rates among whites were inversely associated with occupational structure, and per capita levels of income and numbers of medical-care providers were positively associated with occupations.
Abstract
Strategies to improve the resources of disadvantaged communities and the access of black workers to local occupational opportunities may be important for CHD prevention in high risk populations.

There has been a consistent inverse relation between cardiovascular disease, primarily coronary heart disease, and many of the indicators of SES, and evidence for this relation has been derived from prevalence, prospective, and retrospective cohort studies.

It will be important to recognize rural residents/ health needs under any national health insurance program, and it is shown that nonmetro areas' lower incomes, higher hazard populations, and lower educational levels contribute to poorer health care -conditions.

Mortality rates from Coronary Heart Disease in the U.S. declined significantly during the period 1968-1975 and an improvement in mortality from this cause was recorded for each of the four sex-color groups, the trend being relatively more favorable for nonwhites.

Emphasis on structural economic factors determining the shape of the CHD epidemic curve does not detract from the medical importance of risk factors, but underscores the importance of community development to public health improvements.

The dramatic transformation from an agriculturally based economy to manufacturing and services employment over the course of the study period contributed to improved living conditions which promoted coronary mortality declines in all areas of the South; however, the most favourable economic and mortality trends occurred in metropolitan areas.
