American Heart AssociationReports and Proceedings
Social vulnerabilities, such as living in poverty, living in a single-parent household, not having a car or being described as a minority, were associated with cardiometabolic risk during pregnancy.

Food insecurity linked to increased heart risks for people with peripheral artery disease
American Heart AssociationReports and Proceedings
People with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who live in a food desert, which is a community with low levels of access to retail outlets selling healthy and affordable foods, were 17% more likely to experience death, heart attack or stroke compared with those who had adequate access to healthy, nutrition-rich food. People with PAD living in food deserts were less likely to have a car and more likely to be Black or Hispanic, live in urban areas and have chronic kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Women with PAD were less likely to receive optimal medical treatment and more likely to be diagnosed with malnutrition and other chronic health conditions regardless of food access.
