Brown AF, et al. - The purpose herein was to investigate the U.S. trends in racial/ethnic and nativity disparities with regard to the cardiovascular health among adults aged 25 years or older. A decline was reported in the cardiovascular health in the United States. Findings revealed that the racial/ethnic and nativity disparities persisted, and decreased disparities were possibly attributed to worsening cardiovascular health among whites rather than gains among African Americans and Mexican Americans. Hence, a necessity arose for multifaceted interventions in order to address declining population health and persistent health disparities.
