Association between perceived discrimination and pulse wave velocity: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT: Racial discrimination is a chronic stressor that may contribute to cardiovascular disease (CVD) disparities in non-Hispanic Black (NHB) adults. NHB adults experience greater perceived discrimination (PD) and CVD risk compared with non-Hispanic White adults. Although the association between PD and some subclinical CVD markers has been examined, the relationship between PD and arterial stiffness has not been established, limiting our understanding of the impact of PD on CVD.

Objective

The objective of this review was to summarise the literature on the relationship between PD and arterial stiffness.

Design

Systematic scoping review.

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, SPORTDiscus with full text and CINALH+ with full text databases were searched from inception to 10 July 2023.
