Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Younger Black Women: Results from the 10,000 Women Community Screening Project

Fig. 1. Proportion of women with no history of hypertension and elevated blood pressure on point of care testing. Proportion of individuals who did not report a history of hypertension on the questionnaire and had systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 130 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 80 mmHg. Overlying brackets with asterisks indicate significant posthoc Bonferroni pairwise comparisons (adjusted significant p-value <0.017) between the two age-cohorts designated by the bracket.

Fig. 2. Proportion of women with no history of hyperlipidemia and high cholesterol on point of care testing. Proportion of high cholesterol on point-of-care testing (LDL > 100 mg/dL or TC > 200 mg/dL) in patients who previously did not report a history of hyperlipidemia. Overlying brackets with asterisks indicate significant posthoc Bonferroni pairwise comparisons (adjusted significant p-value <0.0015) between the two age-cohorts designated by the bracket.

Fig. 3. Percent of women with cardiovascular risk factor under control. Percent of women in the sample and each age group with measured medical cardiovascular disease risk factor at screening events that were under control. From top to bottom: Percent with HDL over 50 mg/dL, percent with LDL under 100 mg/dL, percent with total cholesterol under 200 mg/dL, percent with systolic pressure under 130 mmHg and diastolic pressure under 80 mmHg, and percent with BMI under 30 kg/m2. Overlying brackets with asterisks indicate statistically significant differences between the proportion of people with each respective CVD risk factor under control between the three age groups. Analysis was performed via chi-square analysis (significant p-value <0.05).
