“…4 Higher local obesity rates among blacks than whites in NYC 17 likely contribute to the hypertension disparity; however, obesity alone did not fully explain these disparities (stratified analysis not shown), nor did it account for the magnitude of observed disparities at the national level. 4 Other hypertension risk factors that disproportionately affect blacks, including low birth weight, 18 low early-life socioeconomic status, 19 salt sensitivity, 20 and discrimination 21 may influence prevalence.…”

Background-Hypertension-related risk in urban areas may vary from national estimates; however, objective data on prevalence and treatment in local areas are scarce. We assessed hypertension prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control among New York City (NYC) adults. Methods and Results-The NYC Health And Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES), modeled on the national HANES, was conducted in 2004 with a representative sample of noninstitutionalized NYC residents Ն20 years of age. Hypertension outcomes were examined with interview and examination data (nϭ1975). Multiple logistic regression was used to assess factors associated with control among adults with hypertension. We found that 25.6% of NYC adults had hypertension.

“…Of the remaining 19 studies (Table 1), 17 were conducted in the USA and two in Australia [17,18]. Eight studies had a cross-sectional design [17,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25], whereas 11 studies were of longitudinal nature [18,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Six studies were based on African Americans [19,21,24,25,31,34], three were based on Pima Indians [22,27,28], one on Japanese Americans [20] and two on Australian aboriginals [17,18].…”

“…Study sample sizes ranged from 134 to 3978 participants in the ethnic minority populations and from 128 to 17,642 participants in the White populations. Several exposures were assessed in the included studies, such as early-life anthropometrics in seven studies [17,18,23,27,28,34,35], childhood SES in seven studies [21,24,[29][30][31][32][33] and other childhood influences in five studies [19,20,22,25,26]. The studies differed in inclusion of established risk factors for CVDs.…”

“…The studies differed in inclusion of established risk factors for CVDs. Eight studies adjusted their analyses for adult socio-economic status (SES) [19,21,24,26,[31][32][33]35]; seven for presence of risk factors in adulthood [17,19,20,24,26,32,33]; six for lifestyle (smoking, alcohol use or exercise) [19,20,[24][25][26]32]; and six for family history of CVD [19,20,22,26,32,35]. One study did not adjust for any form of confounding [34].…”

The influence of early-life conditions on cardiovascular disease later in life among ethnic minority populations: a systematic review

Ethnic minority groups are disproportionately affected by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The reasons for the high prevalence of CVD in ethnic minority groups are not fully understood. Recently, the importance of early-life developmental factors and their impact on CVDs in adulthood is increasingly being recognised, but little is known about this among ethnic minority groups. Therefore, the current paper aimed to fill this knowledge gap by reviewing the available literature to assess the influence of early-life conditions on CVDs and its risk factors in ethnic minority populations residing in Western countries. A systematic search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE between 1989 and 2014. In total, 1418 studies were identified of which 19 met the inclusion criteria. Six studies investigated the relationship between early-life anthropometrics and CVD risk factors of which all except one found significant associations between the assessed anthropometric measures and CVD risk factors. Seven studies evaluated the influence of childhood socio-economic status (SES) on CVD and risk factors of which five found significant associations between childhood SES measures and CVD risk factors. Five studies investigated the relationship between other early-life conditions including early-life nutrition, physical development, and childhood psychosocial conditions, and CVD risk factors. Four of these studies found significant associations between the assessed childhood conditions and CVD risk factors. This review reinforces the importance of early-life conditions on adult CVD in ethnic minority groups. Improvement of early-life conditions among ethnic minority groups may contribute to reducing CVD risk in these populations.

“…For example, between 2001 and 2006 the death rate from coronary heart disease in the 20 % most deprived areas in England was nearly 60 % higher than the rate in the 20 % least deprived (British Heart Foundation, 2009). The socially disadvantaged also experience a disproportionate increase in the prevalence of most chronic diseases (Everson-Rose & Lewis, 2005;James et al, 2006) and psychosocial stress (Latkin & Curry, 2003). Despite the compelling evidence of the need to target socially disadvantaged groups, reviews point to the paucity of data on the impact of behavior change interventions amongst disadvantaged communities (Michie et al, 2009), with only three (Sykes & Marks, 2001;Lowther et al, 2002;Steptoe et al, 2003) randomized controlled trials (RCTs) conducted within the UK, two in the USA (Rosamond et al, 2000;Emmons et al, 2005), and one in Canada (O'Loughlin et al, 1999).…”

Little research exists on the impact of behavior change interventions in disadvantaged communities. We conducted a prospective study to explore the effectiveness of motivational interviewing on physical activity change within a deprived community and the social- psychological and motivational predictors of change in physical activity including stage of change, self-efficacy, social support, and variables from self-determination theory and the theory of planned behavior. Five motivational interviewing counsellors recruited 207 patients and offered motivational interviewing sessions to support physical activity behavior change. At 6-months there were significant improvements in physical activity, stage of change, and social support. A dose-response relationship was evident; those who attended 2 or more consultations increased their total physical activity, stage of change and family social support more than those who attended just one. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that number of sessions and change in stage of change predicted 28.4% of the variance in change in total physical activity and, with social support from friends, 21.0% of the variance in change walking time. Change in perceived behavioral control and attitudes, friend social support, and number of sessions predicted 16.8% of the variance in change in vigorous physical activity. Motivational interviewing is an effective approach for promoting physical activity amongst lower socio-economic status groups in the short term. The study demonstrates good translational efficacy, and contributes to a limited number of physical activity interventions targeting low income groups in the UK.
