Neighborhood socioeconomic status and mortality in the nurses' health study (NHS) and the nurses' health study II (NHSII).

ABSTRACT: Few studies have prospectively examined long-term associations between neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES) and mortality risk, independent of demographic and lifestyle risk factors.

Methods

We assessed associations between nSES and all-cause, nonaccidental mortality among women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) 1986-2014 (N = 101,701) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII) 1989-2015 (N = 101,230). Mortality was ascertained from the National Death Index (NHS: 19,228 deaths; NHSII: 1556 deaths). Time-varying nSES was determined for the Census tract of each residential address. We used principal component analysis (PCA) to identify nSES variable groups. Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were conditioned on age and calendar period and included time-varying demographic, lif
