Native Hawaiian people have higher rates of illness and death related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) than non-Hispanic White people. Research in other populations has shown that individual-level CVD risk factors (ie, high-fat diet, physical inactivity, obesity, and tobacco use) are associated with neighborhood characteristics (ie, social cohesion, walkability, availability of healthy food, and safety). This association has yet to be examined among Native Hawaiians.
