Association of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors With Sociodemographic Characteristics and Health Beliefs Among a Community-Based Sample of African American Adults in Minnesota.
To assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors and their association with sociodemographic characteristics and health beliefs among African American (AA) adults in Minnesota. ⋯ In this community sample of AAs in Minnesota, CVD risk factors were high, as was trust in health care providers. Those with greater CVD risk perceptions had higher CVD prevalence. Consideration of sociodemographic and psychosocial influences on CVD and CVD risk factors could inform development of effective cardiovascular health promotion interventions in the AA Minnesota community.

Associations of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Disadvantage With Chronic Conditions by Age, Sex, Race, and Ethnicity in a Population-Based Cohort.
To determine the association of socioeconomic status at the census block group level with chronic conditions and to determine whether the associations differ by age, sex, race, or ethnicity. ⋯ Higher ADI was associated with increased risk of most chronic conditions, with more pronounced associations in younger persons. For some chronic conditions, the associations were stronger in women. Our findings underscore the importance of recognizing the overall and potentially differential impact of area-level deprivation on chronic disease outcomes for diverse populations.
