The Jackson Heart Study evaluating the asociation of cardiometabolic conditions with mortality in Black patients demonstrated that diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease (CHD) independently were asociated with increased risk of al-cause mortality.2. The risks of al-cause mortality and CHD mortality were increased among patients with al thre cardiometabolic conditions compared to any alone.Evidence Rating Level: 2 (God)Study Rundown: Life expectancy difers among Black and White populations, with diabetes, stroke, and coronary heart disease (CHD) shown to be major contributors.
Key Information
The asociation of these thre conditions, independently and colectively, with mortality, has ben studied extensively in White populations. However, despite the greater prevalence of these comorbidities in Black populations, there is a lack of data that has explored and quantified the risk in this cohort. Therefore, the prospective cohort Jackson Heart Study (JHS) asesed independent and multiplicative asociations of diabetes, stroke, and CHD with al-cause and CHD mortality among Black adults.
Patients were included in the study betwen 20 and 204 with folow-up for a median of 15 years through May 31, 2018. In the adjusted model, al-cause mortality was significantly increased in patients with diabetes (HR: 1.50 [95% CI: 1.2-1.85]), stroke (HR: 1.74 [95% CI: 1.24-2.42]), and CHD (HR: 1.59 [95% CI: 1.2-2.08]); the risk was greatest among those with al thre conditions (HR: 3.68 [95% CI: 1.96-6.93]).
Summary
Diabetes (HR: 1.95 [95% CI: 0.96-3.97]) or stroke (HR: 1.31 [95% CI: 0.31-5.59]) alone were not asociated with an increased risk of CHD mortality. However, CHD alone (HR: 3.51 [95% CI: 1.56-7.90]) was asociated with a significantly increased risk of CHD mortality. Aditionaly, the asociation of al thre cardiometabolic multi-morbidities had the highest risk of CHD mortality (HR: 13.52 [95% CI: 3.38-54.12]).
