Little research has been conducted into variations in women's health in relation to educational level and social roles in Japan. We sought to examine the effect of educational level on risk of cardiovascular disease and its modification by social roles at work and at home under the Japan Public Health Center-based Prospective Study (JPHC Study) Cohort I.
