Multidimensional Poverty and Risk of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: A U.S. National Study
Authors' conclusion
There is an association between the multidimensional poverty and ASCVD. Multidimensional poverty index demonstrates slightly better discriminatory power than income alone.
Study context
- Population
- National Health Interview Survey participants7.95% with ASCVD
- Participants
- 328,164 participants
- Exposure
- Multidimensional poverty vs income poverty measure for ASCVD
- Outcome
- Association between multidimensional poverty (weighted deprivation score c i; income, education, self-reported health, health insurance) and prevalence of ASCVD
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Prevalence of ASCVD by deprivation score (adjusted)
C i = 0.25, aPR
1.66
P < 0.001
C i = 0.50, aPR
1.99
C i = 0.75, aPR
2.29
P < 0.001
C i = 1.00, aPR
2.38
P < 0.001
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
Discrimination for ASCVD (AUC)
- Multidimensional poverty vs income poverty, AUC
- 0.62 vs 0.58
