BACKGROUND: Evidence of socioeconomic status (SES)-related health inequality is scarce in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) who need both lifestyle change and medical care, particularly in developing countries. METHODS: The study employed a nationwide population-based cohort design, covering all 31 provinces of Chinese mainland from September 2014 to March 2021. Participants aged 35-75 years with self-reported CVD diagnoses were included. Information on SES and lifestyle details were collected via a questionnaire, and the unequal mortality across SES groups and the mediating effects of lifestyles were explored. RESULTS: Among the 104 718 participants included, 27 943 (26.7%) were allocated to high SES, 35 802 (34.2%) were allocated to medium SES and 40 973 (39.1%) were allocated to low SES. During a mean follow-up of 48.9±18.9 months, 5010 deaths were recorded. Participants with low SES had a 65% (HR=1.65, 95% CI: 1.50 to 1.80) greater risk of all-cause death and a 95% (HR=1.95, 95% CI: 1.72 to 2.20) greater risk of CVD death in Chinese communities. A low SES with the worst lifestyle was associated with a significant increase in the risk of all-cause mortality by 172% (HR=2.72, 95% CI: 2.37 to 3.12) and CVD mortality by 218% (HR=3.18, 95% CI: 2.64 to 3.83) compared with a high SES with healthy lifestyle. The joint mediating effects of lifestyles on CVD mortality accounted for 19.6% (95%CI: 14.8% to 24.2%) of the excess mortality risk for individuals with low SES, a...
