Childhood Parental Incarceration and Adult-Onset Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Parental incarceration is an adverse childhood experience that disproportionately affects racially minoritized individuals and has been associated with long-term health risks. Although cardiovascular disease remains the primary cause of mortality differences between Black and White individuals in the US, the association between parental incarceration and cardiovascular risk remains poorly understood.

Objective

To examine the association between parental incarceration during childhood and incident cardiovascular risk in adulthood.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study included data from waves IV (2008-2009) and V (2016-2018) of the US National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health. Participants represented US adults
