Ideal Cardiovascular Health in Mexican Adults with CKD Living in Mexico City Versus Chicago

Evidence suggests that Mexican adults living in Mexico have a more favorable cardiovascular risk profile than Mexican adults living in the U.S. However, this relationship has not been evaluated among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is a question of importance given the high risk fo...

Description
Summary:Evidence suggests that Mexican adults living in Mexico have a more favorable cardiovascular risk profile than Mexican adults living in the U.S. However, this relationship has not been evaluated among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is a question of importance given the high risk for cardiovascular disease among patients with CKD. Using data from two ongoing observational cohort studies, we compared the prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health metrics (assessed by the American Heart Association “Life’s Simple 7” criteria) in 309 Mexican adults with CKD living in Mexico City to 343 Mexican adults with CKD living in Chicago. Mexican adults with CKD living in Mexico City had a significantly higher prevalence of ideal body mass index (25 vs. 10%), diet (17 vs. 8%), total cholesterol (80 vs. 63%), blood pressure (43 vs. 25%), and fasting glucose (54 vs. 42%). Mexican adults with CKD living in both Mexico City and Chicago had low levels of cardiovascular health scores. Future work is needed to better understand the lower prevalence of ideal cardiovascular health metrics in Chicago as compared to Mexico City.
