Abstract
This article compares the socioeconomic and health characteristics of the household population aged 35 to 64 with and without self-reported heart disease. The estimated 345,000 Canadians aged 35 to 64 who have been diagnosed with heart disease were less likely to be employed and more likely to live in low-income households than their contemporaries who did not have heart disease.
