Education and Household Income Are Associated with Incident Venous Thromboembolism: The Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities Study

Abstract Body (Do not enter title and authors here): Introduction: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that social factors may influence VTE risk through pathways like behavior, stress, and comorbidities, offering opportunities for improved prevention and risk stratification beyond established predictors.

Hypotheses: Lower educational attainment and household income are associated with increased risk of VTE.

Methods: The Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) study enrolled 15,792 individuals in 1987-89. Participants reported household income (<$12,000, $12,000-$24,999, $25,000-$49,999, or >$50,000) and educational attainment (
Results: Following exclusions, we included 8,116 ARIC participants (age 62.8+5.7 years, 48.4% female, 19.0% self-identified as Black race). In total, 9.7% had household income <$12,000 and 17.5% education + 6.2 years. Individuals with
Conclusions: We observed that educational attainment and income were associated with increased VTE risk. These results underscore the importance of integrating social factors into VTE risk assessment.
