Rodriguez F, et al. – Researchers investigated whether high educational attainment is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, subclinical atherosclerosis, and mortality in Hispanic vs non-Hispanic white (NHW) individuals in this retrospective cohort analysis of participants from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study. This analysis included 1,351 Hispanic and 43,736 NHW participants 20-80 years of age. Participants had a BMI between 18.5 and 50.0, were not missing key cardiometabolic or fitness variables, and had high educational attainment, with a mean of > 15 years of total education. Findings revealed similar atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk, subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, and mortality during follow-up among Hispanic and NHW men and women with high educational attainment, and did not support the Hispanic paradox in a highly educated Hispanic population.
