Association Between Neighborhood-Level Income and the Incidence of Cardiovascular Events Varies by Immigration Status: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neighborhood-level income is inversely associated with cardiovascular events; however, it is uncertain whether this association varies with immigration status.

Methods and results

We conducted a population-based cohort study of 5.2 million (53% women, 19% immigrants) urban-dwelling people aged ≥40 years without a prior history of cardiovascular disease in Ontario, Canada. Neighborhood-level income was measured in quintiles from quintile 1 (lowest) to quintile 5 (highest), and immigrants were defined as those born outside of Canada who moved to Canada after 1985. We estimated the association between neighborhood-level income and the rate of incident cardiovascular events (hospitalization for stroke or myocardial infarction, or cardiovascular death) using multivaria
