Heterogeneity in the Prevalence of Cardiovascular Risk Factors by Ethnicity and Birthplace Among Asian Subgroups: Evidence From the 2010 to 2018 National Health Interview Survey

Journal of the American Heart Association

Generalized linear models with Poisson distribution were used to examine the prevalence and prevalence ratios of self‐reported hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, smoking, and overweight/obesity among Asian subgroups compared with US‐born NHW adults.

Abstract 258: Comorbidities Associated with Exclusion from rtPA in Obese Ischemic Stroke Patients with History of Smoking

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

In some cases, the reason for patients' exclusion from rtPA is due to risk factors and comorbidities [1, 2]. Research has been conducted previously on rtPA exclusion in obese AIS patients as well as AIS patients with a history of smoking [3, 4, 5, 6].

Abstract 96: Temporal Trends in Vascular Risk Factor Burden Among Young Adults With Ischemic Stroke: The Florida Stroke Registry

Stroke Journal

Introduction:While ischemic stroke (IS) in the young (18-55) is thought to have different etiologies than in older patients, a rise in vascular risk factors (VRFs) among young adults may translate to an IS risk profile similar to the older population.

Abstract WP269: Food Desert Residence as a Contributing Risk Factor for Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients

Stroke Journal

Background:Research suggests that residing in a food desert (FD) area may negatively impact health by increasing cardiovascular risk factors. This study aims to assess sociodemographic profile and stroke risk factors among individuals residing in FDs within the predominantly rural state of South Carolina (SC).Methods:Deidentified

Abstract TP309: Differences in ischemic stroke hospitalizations and risk factor prevalence by age, sex, and race/ethnicity: Findings from the Get With The Guidelines (GWTG)-Stroke Registry, 2010-2021

Stroke Journal

These data are needed to help inform targeted interventions to improve primary stroke prevention in high-risk populations. The prevalence odds of common stroke risk factors including hypertension, diabetes, and overweight/obesity were higher for NHB vs NHW subgroups (e.g., women) from 2,771 hospitals.
