Transgender adults living in the rural Appalachian area of the U.S., were more likely to have cardiovascular disease risk factors, like tobacco use, obesity and high blood pressure, thank their cisgender peers, according to a preliminary study to be presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific Sessions 2023.
Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc.Nov 6 2023 The meeting, to be held Nov. 11-13, in Philadelphia, is a premier global exchange of the latest scientific advancements, research and evidence-based clinical practice updates in cardiovascular science.
We know there is increased cardiovascular disease risk among transgender people across the U.S. We also know there is a disproportionate burden of cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors in rural areas of the country, including a higher incidence of obesity and Type 2 diabetes.
The study included 89 self-identified transgender adults and 69 randomly selected cisgender individuals, average age 29-years-old for participants in both groups. Participants lived in Huntington, West Virginia and neighboring areas of rural Ohio and Kentucky between November 2022 to February 2023. Researchers examined the prevalence of tobacco use, high blood pressure, prediabetes or Type 2 diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol among all participants.
