Heart failure incidence is higher in the low-income population of the Southern Community Cohort Study compared to previously reported cohorts.
In this low-income population, HF incidence was higher for all race-sex groups than previously reported in other cohorts. The SCCS is a unique resource to investigate determinants of HF risk in a segment of the population underrepresented in other existing cohorts.
Akwo et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
