Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) were the leading causes of death from 1990 to 2015, with an estimated 17.9 million deaths worldwide. Psychosocial studies have uncovered associations between everyday aspects of life and physical health, especially relating to depression and stress. Research has shown that depression is a risk factor for CVDs, but the individual experiences that have a possibility of causing poor mental health were not explored, limiting these findings. This review will cover research on the impacts of socioeconomic status, debt, social dynamics, and ethnicity on cardiovascular health.
