CARDIOMETABOLIC RISK FACTORS IN AFRICAN AMERICAN AND WHITE AMERICAN WOMEN BASED ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY LEVELS.
PURPOSE: To examine whether there is a health disparity in the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors in African American and White American women between the ages of 20 and 50 years, based on their physical activity levels (low, moderate, vigorous). METHODS: The data were harvested from the 201...

METHODS: The data were harvested from the 2015 to 2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). The sample consisted of 615 women: 355 White- American (57.7%, age 34.92±9.67), and 260 African-American (42.3%, age 35.81±9.47). The prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors was calculated using descriptive statistics, crosstabs, and chi square to assess statistical significance. RESULTS: There was no difference in the prevalence of pre-diabetes and high cholesterol among the two groups exercising at low, moderate, or vigorous physical activity levels. There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes between the two groups at the moderate physical activity level. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in the prevalence of high blood pressure at low, moderate, and vigorous physical activity levels. CONCLUSION: Regardless of their physical activity level, 20-50-year-old African-American women have a higher prevalence of high blood pressure compared to White-American women. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
