ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Circulatory diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the United States (U.S)., making it crucial to understand trends and disparities in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors including diabetes, obesity, smoking, and hyperlipidemia.

The data was stratified by year, gender, age, race, nativity, veteran status, social vulnerability, employment status, and geographic distribution.
