Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2016 Update
Each year, the American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies, brings together the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular and metabolic diseases and presents them in its Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update. The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay pu…

Individual education, area income, and mortality and recurrence of myocardial infarction in a Medicare cohort
Despite the Medicare entitlement program, disparities related to individual socioeconomic status remain. Additional research is needed to elucidate the barriers and mechanisms to eliminating health disparities among the elderly

Prevalence of Major Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cardiovascular Diseases Among Hispanic/Latino Individuals of Diverse Backgrounds in the United States
CONTEXT: Major cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are leading causes of mortality among US Hispanic and Latino individuals. Comprehensive data are limited regarding the prevalence of CVD risk factors in this population and relations of these traits to socioeconomic status (SES) and acculturation. OBJECTIVES: To describe prevalence of major CVD risk factors and CVD (coronary heart disease [CHD] and stroke) among US Hispanic/Latino individuals of diffe…

Defining and Setting National Goals for Cardiovascular Health Promotion and Disease Reduction
This document details the procedures and recommendations of the Goals and Metrics Committee of the Strategic Planning Task Force of the American Heart Association, which developed the 2020 Impact Goals for the organization. The committee was charged with defining a new concept, cardiovascular health , and determining the metrics needed to monitor it over time. Ideal cardiovascular health, a concept well supported in the literature, is defined by …
Design and Implementation of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
The Hispanic Mortality Advantage and Ethnic Misclassification on US Death Certificates
Objectives. We tested the data artifact hypothesis regarding the Hispanic mortality advantage by investigating whether and to what degree this advantage is explained by Hispanic origin misclassification on US death certificates. Methods. We used the National Longitudinal Mortality Study, which links Current Population Survey records to death certificates for 1979 through 1998, to estimate the sensitivity, specificity, and net ascertainment of His…
Neighborhood of Residence and Incidence of Coronary Heart Disease
BACKGROUND: Where a person lives is not usually thought of as an independent predictor of his or her health, although physical and social features of places of residence may affect health and health-related behavior. METHODS: Using data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, we examined the relation between characteristics of neighborhoods and the incidence of coronary heart disease. Participants were 45 to 64 years of age at base li…
Marital Status and Mortality
The impact of specific occupation on mortality in the U.S. National Longitudinal Mortality Study
We compare mortality differences for specific and general categories of occupations using a national cohort of approximately 380,000 persons aged 25-64 from the U.S. National Longitudinal Mortality Study. Based on comparisons of relative risk obtained from Cox proportional-hazards model analyses, higher risk is observed in moving across the occupational spectrum from the technical, highly skilled occupations to less-skilled and generally more lab…
A comparison of the relationships of education and income with mortality
Social class, assets, organizational control and the prevalence of common groups of psychiatric disorders
Mortality Effects of Community Socioeconomic Status
We linked data from the National Longitudinal Mortality Study to census tract information on 239,187 persons to assess 11-year mortality risk among black and white women and women associated with median census tract income, adjusted for individual family income from the Current Population Survey. We stratified Cox proportional hazards models by ages 25-64 years and 65 years and older. We used a robust covariance matrix to obtain standard errors f…
The shape of the relationship between income and mortality in the United States
US mortality by economic, demographic, and social characteristics
OBJECTIVES. A large US sample was used to estimate the effects of race, employment status, income, education, occupation, marital status, and household size on mortality. METHODS. Approximately 530,000 persons 25 years of age or more were identified from selected Current Population Surveys between 1979 and 1985. These individuals were followed for mortality through use of the National Death Index for the years 1979 through 1989. RESULTS. Higher m…
Mortality by Hispanic Status in the United States
OBJECTIVE: To compare all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates between Hispanic and non-Hispanic groups and estimate the effect of family income, place of birth, and place of residence on these rates. DESIGN: Cohort study using national survey data matched to the National Death Index, with a mortality follow-up period of 9 years. SETTING: The noninstitutionalized population of the United States. PARTICIPANTS: Approximately 700,000 respondents…

The effect of physician terminology preference on coronary heart disease mortality
We dual coded 2,268 deaths due to heart disease occurring in Maryland, using the 8th and 9th revisions of the International Classification of Diseases (ICDA-8, Adapted for Use in the United States, and ICD-9). Certifier preference was for generalized cardiovascular terms rather than terms specific to the heart, resulting in an artifactual change in chronic ischemic heart disease death (IHD) rates in Maryland between 1978 and 1979 because the 8th …
Coronary heart disease risk factors in men with light and dark skin in Puerto Rico
The association of skin color with coronary heart disease risk factors was studied in 4,000 urban Puerto Rican men. Skin color on the inner upper arm was classified according to the von Luschan color tiles. Using this grading, men were separated into two groups of light or dark skin color. The dark group had a lower socioeconomic status (SES) based on income, education, and occupation. Dark men had slightly higher mean systolic blood pressures (S…
