An unfavorable social determinants of health profile was independently associated with worse cardiovascular health among adult cancer survivors (P<0.05 for highest SDOH quartile).

Does an unfavorable social determinants of health (SDOH) profile associate with worse cardiovascular health in U.S. adult cancer survivors?
An unfavorable social determinants of health profile is independently associated with worse cardiovascular health among adult cancer survivors in the United States.
p-value: p=< 0.05
Background: Relationships between the social determinants of health (SDOH) and cardiovascular health (CVH) of cancer survivors are underexplored. Objectives: This study sought to investigate associations between the SDOH and CVH of adult cancer survivors. Methods: Data from the U.S. National Health Interview Survey (2013-2017) were used. Participants reporting a history of cancer were included, excluding those with only nonmelanotic skin cancer, or with missing data for any domain of SDOH or CVH. SDOH was quantified with a 6-domain, 38-item score, consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations (higher score indicated worse deprivation). CVH was quantified based on the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8, but due to unavailable detailed dietary data, a 7-item CVH score was used, with a higher score indicating worse CVH. Survey-specific multivariable Poisson regression was used to test associations between SDOH quartiles and CVH. Results: < 0.05 for highest SDOH quartile). Conclusions: An unfavorable SDOH profile was independently associated with worse CVH among adult cancer survivors in the United States.
Satti et al. (Tue,) conducted a cross-sectional in Cancer survivors. Social determinants of health (SDOH) was evaluated on Cardiovascular health (CVH) score (p=< 0.05). An unfavorable social determinants of health profile was independently associated with worse cardiovascular health among adult cancer survivors (P<0.05 for highest SDOH quartile).
