I see a bunch of research on how low socioeconomic status correlates to heart disease but does this effect remain if you control for lifestyle (diet/exercise)? Is there a pure psychosomatic component? Anxiety/stress leading to higher cortisol to heart disease a la Sapolsky apes?

Seems like you answered your own question. Status and lack of control is strongly correlated to cortisol afaik

But us that probably linked all the way to heart disease and diabetes etc?
I belive its been linked to bad decision making, so plausible it could have an effect on heart disease
