 Social gradient in the metabolic syndrome — explained by psychosocial and behavioural factors?
Approximately 20% of study individuals had metabolic syndrome but among individuals with highest level of education (of five levels) only 10% had metabolic syndrome whereas among individuals with the lowest level of education 26% had metabolic syndrome.
As in most other studies, individuals with higher level of education tended to have a healthier lifestyle: they smoked less and exercised more but also drank more alcohol.
Although both psychosocial stressors and life-style factors such as smoking, lack of exercise and alcohol consumption are important in linking social position and cardiovascular health, these risk factors do not offer simple answers for how individuals at lower social positions are at increased risk for the metabolic syndrome.

Contrary to accepted medical practice as well as common lore, Reaver says that these individuals who have developed heart disease should not be on low-fat diets; rather, they should consume fat, carbs and proteins in a specific ratio that promotes the absorption of sugar into their blood cells.
