What is the clinical evidence from this study?

Study design: Cross-Sectional. Population: Cardiovascular disease risk factors (n=3520). Intervention: Ethnicity (Black, Mexican-American) vs. White ethnicity. Primary outcome: Prevalence of CVD risk factors (type II diabetes, physical inactivity, abdominal obesity, hypertension, cigarette smoking, non-HDL-C).

What does this research mean for the field?

Older Black and Mexican-American women, as well as older Black men, have significantly higher prevalences of multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors compared to White individuals, even after accounting for socioeconomic status. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.CONFIRMATORY. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.SUPPORTS_CONSENSUS.

Are there ethnic differences in the prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among older adults?

Population

3,520 older adults (age 65 to 84 years), including 700 black, 628 Mexican-American, and 2,192 white women and men from the NHANES III survey.

Outcome

Prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors (type II diabetes mellitus, physical inactivity, abdominal obesity, hypertension, cigarette smoking, and non-HDL-C) in relation to ethnicity.

Older black and Mexican-American adults bear a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular risk factors, underscoring the need for culturally and linguistically tailored primary and secondary prevention programs.

Sundquist et al. (2001) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular disease risk factors (n=3,520). Ethnicity (Black, Mexican-American) vs. White ethnicity was evaluated on Prevalence of CVD risk factors (type II diabetes, physical inactivity, abdominal obesity, hypertension, cigarette smoking, non-HDL-C). Black and Mexican-American women and black men aged 65-84 years had significantly higher prevalences of multiple cardiovascular disease risk factors compared to white individuals.
