Homeless adults have approximately three times greater odds of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality than the general population, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions.
Korukonda et al. (2025) conducted a meta-analysis in Cardiovascular disease (n=226,205). Homelessness vs. Non-homeless adults was evaluated on Mortality, morbidity and hospitalisation due to CVD (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.93 to 3.93, p=<0.001). Homelessness was associated with significantly greater odds of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality compared to non-homeless adults (OR 2.77; 95% CI 1.93-3.93; p<0.001).
