Gendered Race and Setting Matter: Sources of Complexity in the Relationships Between Reported Interpersonal Discrimination and Cardiovascular Health in the CARDIA Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Using data from black and white adults enrolled in a community-based, multi-city cohort assembled in the mid-1980s, we examined whether reported experiences of interpersonal racial and gender discrimination differentially impacted on future cardiovascular health (CVH) depending on gendered race and the setting in which the interactions were reported to have occurred.

Methods

Discrimination in eight possible settings was assessed using the Experiences of Discrimination scale at year 7; CVH two decades later was examined using a modified Life's Simple 7 score, with higher scores indicating better health. Separate multivariable linear regressions evaluated the associations between reports of racial and gender discrimination and CVH score in each possible setting stra
