Socioeconomic status and long-term health behaviour maintenance after non-communicable disease diagnosis: a multicohort study
These findings highlight a pronounced socioeconomic gradient in long-term maintenance of health behaviours after NCD diagnosis, with the low summed SES score more than doubling the risk of becoming physically inactive or smokers within 4 years. Socioeconomic position should be considered in strategies for managing individuals with non-communicable diseases.
