As if it’s not bad enough that race and gender correlate significantly with subpar health care. A new study recently published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health found that those who felt they were regularly treated unfairly were 55 percent more likely to have a coronary event such as a heart attack or angina than their counterparts who did not experience injustice. The study, which tracked over 6,000 British civil servants (none of whom has any sign of coronary disease at the beginning of the study) over approximately 11 years, found that the subjects who reported even moderate levels of unfairness had a 36 percent higher risk of heart problems. The Los Angeles Times reports that “the study adds to a growing field of research linking cardiovascular and mental health to racial and gender discrimination” according to Harvard public health professor Nancy Krieger.
