Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the association of rurality and veteran status on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in US adult females. A retrospective, cross-sectional cohort analysis was conducted utilizing data from the 2021-2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The sample included female veterans and non-veterans (n = 25,543). A multivariable logistic regression model was applied to the data to understand the association between the aforementioned variables, including an interaction term for rurality and veteran status. The interaction term showed that rural veteran females had a higher predicted rate of CVD risk than the other cohorts studied (aOR = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.14-3.00), even after adjusting for covariates. These findings highlight the relationship between veteran status and geographic location on CVD risk among females in the US.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityis on the cutting edge of social action and change, not only covering current thought and developments, but also defining future directions in the field. Under the editorship of Joseph R. Ferrari since 1995, Prevention in Human Services was retitled as the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Communityto reflect its focus of providing professionals with information on the leading, effective programs for community intervention and prevention of problems. Because of its intensive coverage of selected topics and the sheer length of each issue, the Journal of Prevention & Intervention in the Community is the first-and in many cases, primary-source of information for mental health and human services development.
