Why the study?
Does low household income increase the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risks in U.S. children and young adults?
Does low household income increase the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risks in U.S. children and young adults?
Low household income is associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in U.S. children and adolescents, highlighting the need for targeted health promotion policies to reduce disparities.
Income disparities link to higher youth CVD risks; leaves open causality and needs prospective data before policy impact.
Independent of race/ethnicity, 6- to 17-year-olds from low-income families have higher prevalence of obesity, central obesity, sedentary behavior, and tobacco exposure. Multifaceted cardiovascular health promotion policies are needed to reduce health disparities between income groups.
