Individual heterogeneity, educational attainment and cardiovascular mortality: a pooled analysis of Norwegian health surveys
A large share of the variation in CVD mortality was explained by the observed risk factors. However, a substantial individual unobserved variation in CVD mortality remained after adjusting for these risk factors. Our findings indicate that the unobserved variation in CVD mortality could vary somewhat between educational groups, but that education does not explain the major share of the remaining substantial heterogeneity.
