Background Little is known about the association between cardiovascular (CV) health and insurance status. We hypothesized that U.S. adults without coverage would have a lower likelihood of ideal health. Methods Results Using National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data from 2007–2010, we examined relationship status CV in aged ≥19 years <65 (N = 3304). Ideal was defined by American Heart Association (AHA) as absence clinically manifested disease simultaneous presence 6–7...
Background: Psychological stress (stress) is associated with cardiovascular events, but the impact of on changes in adiposity as a measure cardio-metabolic risk unknown. Methods and Results: We examined relationship between self-reported psychological level at baseline change weight waist circumference (WC) over median 7-year interval Dallas Heart Study, multiethnic, population-based sample County residents aged 18-65 (N = 1603; whites 615; blacks 754; Hispanics 234). Participants answered...
Background: Although neighborhood-level socioeconomic deprivation has been associated with obesity, its relationship diabetes, a cardio-metabolic risk factor and determinant of cardiovascular health, is poorly understood. Methods Results: We examined the between prevalent diabetes in Dallas Heart Study (DHS), multi-ethnic, population-based sample County residents aged 18-65 (N=1621). Participants underwent detailed examination 2000-2002. Geo-coded home addresses defined neighborhood block...
Introduction: Cumulative exposure to excess adiposity contributes significantly cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, little is known about associations of psychosocial factors [life events (LE) social support (SS)] with duration abdominal obesity (DOB). Methods: Baseline data were collected in CARDIA from 1985-1986 (N=5115). Participants completed an 11-item SS scale, Seeman’s Syme’s work (higher score=higher support), a 66-item LE the Psychiatric Epidemiology Rating Interview...
