Regional and rural-urban patterns in the prevalence of diagnosed hypertension among older U.S. adults with diabetes, 2005–2017
Although the magnitudes of these associations are small, differences in hypertension prevalence across rural-urban areas and geographic regions may have implications for targeted interventions to improve chronic disease prevention and management
Age and sex differences in the association between neighborhood socioeconomic environment and incident diabetes
The impact of NSEE on T2D risk may differ for males and females and by age group within different community types
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2022 Update
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest da…
Urban and rural differences in new onset type 2 diabetes
The likelihood of new onset T2D by community type varied by region of the US. In the South, the likelihood of new onset T2D was higher among those residing in rural communities
The association between neighborhood social and economic environment and prevalent diabetes in urban and rural communities
Participants living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods had a higher diabetes prevalence in each urban/rural community type and these associations were only partly explained by individual-level sociodemographic factors. In addition to addressing individual-level factors, identifying neighborhood characteristics and how they operate across urban and rural settings may be helpful for informing interventions that target chronic health conditions
Comparing Global and Spatial Composite Measures of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status Across US Counties
Rare genetic variants explain missing heritability in smoking
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2021 Update
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health.

Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2020 Update
BACKGROUND: The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports on the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health.

Call to Action
Structural racism has been and remains a fundamental cause of persistent health disparities in the United States. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and multiple others have been reminders that structural racism persists and restricts the opportunities for long, healthy lives of Black Americans and other historically disenfranchised groups. The American Heart Association has p…
Assessing county-level determinants of diabetes in the United States (2003–2012)
Racial residential segregation, racial discrimination, and diabetes
Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics—2019 Update
Associations of neighborhood area level deprivation with the metabolic syndrome and inflammation among middle- and older- age adults
These findings highlight the role of neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation on METS and CRP-MetS for black and white adults. Interventions tailored to address the contextual effects of deprived neighborhoods may reduce the observed neighborhood disparities
Antenatal Care Attendance, a Surrogate for Pregnancy Outcome? The Case of Kumasi, Ghana
Racial residential segregation, racial discrimination, and diabetes
Comparing Global and Spatial Composite Measures of Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status Across US Counties
