Food insecurity (FI) - a state of limited access to nutritionally adequate food is notably more prominent among patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. Current research suggests that FI increases risk morbidity and mortality through various behavioral biological pathways. Importantly, prevalent low-income households disproportionately affects children, particularly those led by single mothers. These disparities necessitate solutions specifically geared towards...
Recent studies have emphasized the intricate relationship between obesity and psychological distress, unraveling complex interplay of biological, psychological, sociocultural factors. However, a conspicuous knowledge gap persists in understanding association severity particularly young adults, marked by limited empirical data.
Introduction Understanding the role of social determinants health as predictors mortality in adults with diabetes may help improve outcomes this high-risk population. Using population-based, nationally representative data, study investigated cumulative effect unfavorable on all-cause diabetes. Research design and methods We used data from 2013–2018 National Health Interview Survey, linked to Death Index through 2019, for ascertainment. A total 47 individual were categorize participants...
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a major cause of financial toxicity, defined as excess strain from healthcare, in the US. Identifying factors that put patients at greatest risk can help inform more targeted and cost-effective interventions. Specific social determinants health (SDOH) such income are associated with higher experiencing toxicity however, associations between comprehensive measures cumulative disadvantage healthcare poorly understood.Using National Health...
To investigate the potential value and feasibility of creating a listing system-wide registry patients with at-risk established Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) within large healthcare system using automated data extraction methods to systematically identify burden, determinants, spectrum inform population health management. Additionally, Houston Methodist Learning Health System (HM CVD-LHS) intends create high-quality data-driven analytical insights assess, track, promote...
Poverty is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). While poverty can be evaluated using income, a unidimensional metric inadequately captures socioeconomic adversity.
Influenza vaccination can reduce the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in US. However, differences state-level trends CVD and sociodemographic health care characteristics adults with have not yet been studied.In this repeated cross-sectional study, we extracted 476,227 records a self-reported history from Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System January 2011 through December 2020. We calculated prevalence likelihood annual influenza by characteristics, risk factors. Additionally,...
The extent to which cumulative social disadvantage-defined as aggregate risk resulting from multiple co-occurring adverse determinants of health (SDOH)-affects the all-cause mortality, independent demographic and clinical factors, is not well understood. objective this study was examine association between disadvantage, measured using a comprehensive 47-factor SDOH framework, mortality in nationally representative sample adults United States. authors conducted secondary analysis pooled data...
