An epidemiological assessment of the distribution and sociodemographic burden of chronic diseases: a focus on hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular conditions
To examine the associations between sociodemographic and behavioral factors and the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Key Findings:
Advancing age is strongly associated with higher odds of hypertension, diabetes, and CVD.
Significant age × gender interactions for diabetes and CVD, with steeper age-related increases in risk among males.
Sociodemographic factors like income and BMI are independently associated with cardiometabolic outcomes.
Model discrimination was good for hypertension (AUC = 0.80), diabetes (AUC = 0.77), and CVD (AUC = 0.83).
Interpretation:
Remove or revise to eliminate unsupported conclusions.
Limitations:
The analysis does not attempt causal decomposition.
Data limitations prevent fine-grained county-level analysis.
Conclusion:
Revise to reflect findings without editorial interpretation.
