Foreign-born Asian American individuals residing in the US for ≥30 years had lower odds of ideal cardiovascular health compared with US-born individuals (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.38-0.76).
Cross-Sectional
Yes
Cardiovascular health among Asian American individuals has declined over the past decade, with longer duration of residence in the US associated with worse cardiovascular health profiles.
Effect estimate: OR 0.52 (95% CI 0.38-0.76)
Objective: Oversampling of Asian American individuals in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provides a unique opportunity to assess the population-level cardiovascular health (CVH) in the fastest-growing racial group in the US. Methods: The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score and its components were calculated in self-reported Asian American individuals ≥20 years of age and free of cardiovascular disease in the NHANES cycles from 2011-March 2020. Multivariable adjusted linear and logistic regression models were used for analysis. Results: : 5-15 years: 0.59 (95%CI: 0.42-0.82); 15-30 years: 0.54 (95%CI :0.38-0.76); ≥30 years: 0.52 (95%CI: 0.38-0.76)]. Conclusion: The CVH in Asian American individuals declined from 2011 to March 2020. The odds of ideal CVH decreased with increasing duration of stay in the US, with foreign-born individuals residing in the US for ≥30 years having ∼28% lower odds of ideal CVH compared with US-born individuals.
Shetty et al. (Fri,) conducted a cross-sectional in Cardiovascular health. Duration of stay in the US (foreign-born) vs. US-born individuals was evaluated on Ideal cardiovascular health (Life's Essential 8 score) (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.38-0.76). Foreign-born Asian American individuals residing in the US for ≥30 years had lower odds of ideal cardiovascular health compared with US-born individuals (OR 0.52; 95% CI 0.38-0.76).
