Social Determinants of Health Tied to Fewer COVID-19 Precautions in CVD Patients

May 07, 2021 Patients with cardiovascular disease who are under added strain due to sociodemographic factors, such as financial instability and food insecurity, are less likely to take steps to protect themselves from COVID-19 and less able to avoid situations, like crowded work or living spaces, that carry the risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2. The results, from a survey of US adults during the pandemic’s first wave, are set to be presented at the virtual American College of Cardiology (ACC) 2021 Scientific Session later this month and are now published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes.

High-risk, disadvantaged groups face barriers to preventing spread of COVID-19

 E-Mail Social factors such as education, financial stability, food security and the neighborhood where someone resides were strongly correlated with whether or not individuals with heart disease adopted measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, including wearing masks and working from home, according to a study presented at the American College of Cardiology s 70th Annual Scientific Session. The researchers say the findings draw attention to longstanding challenges related to social determinants of health. Unless we look at COVID-19 through the lens of social determinants of health, we may not optimize our yield from interventions, and we might not be reaching the group of individuals who need these interventions the most, said Kobina Hagan, MD, a postdoctoral fellow at Houston Methodist Research Institute and the study s lead author.
