The aim of this paper is to examine the role of income in determining cardiovascular mortality in rural areas of Bist Doab region of Punjab state. For collecting data, a sample size of 1.5% was selected out of the total 6796 cardiovascular deaths recorded in 2009. A detailed interview schedule was prepared and administered on the family members of the selected 100 deceased persons. The questions pertained to the socio-economic and behavioral aspects of the persons who died from cardiovascular diseases. It has been found that the income has a close association with the cardiovascular health of population under study. The people falling in lower income categories have recorded maximum cardiovascular mortality. Thus it can be concluded that the socio-economic attributes of a region have a direct bearing on the cardiovascular well-being of the concerned population.
