Observational analysis shows asthma risk escalates with increasing social determinants of health factors in Mississippi, suggesting need for targeted interventions.
Social determinants of health (SDOH) contribute to asthma prevalence and disparities in health outcomes. We used data from 3,994 respondents to the Social Determinants and Health Equity (SD/HE) module of the 2022 Mississippi Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey to examine the association between a summary measure of SDOH and the prevalence of self-reported asthma among adults in Mississippi. Adults experiencing 1 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.67), 2 (AOR, 1.69) or 4 or more (AOR, 2.33) SD/HE risk factors had higher odds of asthma compared with those experiencing no SD/HE risk factors. Our findings suggest a need to develop interventions for adults in Mississippi with multiple SDOH/HE risk factors.
