How do environmental characteristics jointly contribute to cardiometabolic health? A quantile g-computation mixture analysis.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence links cardiometabolic health with social and environmental neighborhood exposures, which may contribute to health inequities. We examined whether environmental characteristics were individually or jointly associated with insulin resistance, hypertension, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and metabolic syndrome in San Diego County, CA.
