Industry of employment and occupational class in relation to cardiovascular health by race/ethnicity, sex/gender, age and income among adults in the USA: a cross-sectional study by Symielle A Gaston, Chandra L Jackson, Jamie A Murkey, Dana M Alhasan, W Braxton Jackson

“…Yet, few studies have included racially/ethnically diverse samples.Methods Using 2004–2018 National Health Interview Survey cross-sectional data, we investigated standardised occupational classifications in relation to ‘ideal’ CVH using a modified ‘ideal’ CVH (mICVH) metric among US adults (n=230 196) by race/ethnicity, sex/gender, age, and income. mICVH was defined as a report of ‘yes’ to the following: never smoked/former smoker; body mass index (≥18.5–25 kg/m2); physical activity (≥150–300 min/week moderate or ≥75–150 min/week vigorous); sleep duration (7–9 hours/night); and no prior diagnosis of dyslipidaemia, hypertension, or diabetes/pre-diabetes. …”
