Cardiometabolic diseases are a major global health concern. This study aims to identify areas for targeted interventions and investigate the impact of socioeconomic status and lifestyle as a potential mediator in the context of the US.
Our study analyzed data from the Health Information National Trends Survey 5, a nationwide survey by the National Cancer Institute. Using standardized scales and questions, we examined cardiometabolic disease outcomes, lifestyle factors, and socioeconomic status of non-institutionalized civilians aged 18 + in the US. We analyzed the data using structural equation modelling.
Our findings show that socioeconomic status and lifestyle significantly predict cardiometabolic disease outcomes. However, our analysis did not support lifestyle as the primary mediating factor in the association between socioeconomic status and cardiometabolic diseases, suggesting that other factors may significantly influence this relationship.
Cardiometabolic diseases require lifestyle and structural interventions addressing socioeconomic factors. Policymakers must consider multifaceted factors to prevent, detect, and manage these diseases effectively and equitably.
心血管代谢疾病是全球主要的健康关注点。本研究旨在确定美国的目标干预领域，并调查社会经济地位和生活方式作为潜在中介因素的影响。
我们的研究分析了美国国家癌症研究所进行的全国性健康信息国家趋势调查 5 的数据。我们使用标准化量表和问题，检查了心血管代谢疾病的结局、生活方式因素以及 18 岁及以上非机构化平民的社会经济地位。我们使用结构方程模型分析了数据。
我们的研究结果表明，社会经济地位和生活方式显著预测心血管代谢疾病的结局。然而，我们的分析不支持生活方式是社会经济地位与心血管代谢疾病之间关联的主要中介因素，这表明其他因素可能显著影响这种关系。
心血管代谢疾病需要针对社会经济因素的生活方式和结构干预。政策制定者必须考虑多方面的因素，以有效和公平地预防、检测和管理这些疾病。
