Claudel SE, et al. - Researchers investigated the longitudinal impacts of neighborhood deprivation on blood pressure outcomes and on incident hypertension over a 9-year period by analyzing data from the Dallas Heart Study in a multilevel regression analysis. They used US Census data to derive neighborhood deprivation, which was divided into tertiles for analysis. Using pre-2017 and 2017 hypertension guidelines, they compared hypertension status. They reported 1.69 higher odds of developing hypertension, as defined by 2017 hypertension guidelines, among participants in areas of high deprivation, as revealed in the fully adjusted model of incident hypertension. Overall, cardiometabolic outcomes, such as hypertension can be influenced by adverse neighborhood conditions.
