dc.description.abstractCardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a prevalent global health concern, contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality rates. While ethnicity itself is not a direct cause of CVD, certain ethnic groups exhibit a higher prevalence and susceptibility to cardiovascular conditions, stemming from a blend of genetic, environmental, and socio-cultural determinants of health. Recognizing these disparities is pivotal for the development of targeted interventions and policies aimed at reducing health inequalities and fostering health equity. This study employed data from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey (NHANES) spanning from 2011 to 2020 to conduct a cross-sectional analysis of the ethnic differences in how CVD risk factors relate with prevalent CVD and CVD mortality. Exploring differences in CVD risk factors between diverse ethnic groups holds the potential to address disparities in healthcare, enhance risk assessment, and optimize treatment strategies through precisely targeted preventive interventions for ethnic minorities.
