Socioeconomic indicators were associated with disease prevalence in elderly.
2004 DEC 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A cardiovascular health study has investigated the association of personal and neighborhood socioeconomic indicators with subclinical cardiovascular disease in an elderly cohort.
According to published research from the United States, "There has been recent interest in determining whether neighborhood characteristics are related to the cardiovascular health of residents. However, there are no data regarding the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic status (SES) and prevalence of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the elderly."
C.K. Nordstrom and colleagues of the University of Michigan described their study, "We related personal SES (education, income, and occupation type) and neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics (a block-group score summing six variables reflecting neighborhood income and wealth, education, and occupation) to the prevalence of subclinical CVD (asymptomatic peripheral vascular disease or carotid atherosclerosis, electrocardiogram or echocardiogram abnormalities, and/or positive responses to Rose Questionnaire claudication or angina pectoris) among 3545 persons aged 65 and over, without prevalent CVD, in the Cardiovascular Health Study."
"Sixty percent of participants had at least one indicator of subclinical disease. Compared to those without, those with subclinical disease had significantly lower education, income, and neighborhood scores and were more likely to have blue-collar jobs. After adjustment for age, gender, and race, those in the lowest SES groups had increased prevalence of subclinical disease compared with those in the highest SES groups (OR=1.50; 95% CI 1.21, 1.86 for income; OR=1.41; 95% CI 1.18, 1.69 for education; OR=1.39; 95% CI 1.16, 1.67 for block-group score)," the researchers reported.
"Those reporting a blue-collar lifetime occupation had ...
