Abstract

AbstractAsian Americans are a diverse and significant group within the United States and encompass a wide range of social demographics. Research on social determinants of hypertension within this population is limited, despite a notable burden of illness. Asian American attendees at health fairs held in Monterey Park and Rosemead, California in Los Angeles County were surveyed on various social demographics and screened for presence of hypertension outcomes. Logistic regression modeling was employed to determine major demographic contributors to the prevalence of prehypertensive or higher outcomes, ultimately finding that health fair location was a significant predictor (OR: 3.41; 95% CI: 1.54, 7.58; P-Value: 0.003). Further analysis of only attendees exhibiting prehypertensive or higher outcomes showed a significant distribution in the conditional distribution of education levels between Monterey Park and Rosemead attendees. Study findings uncover further areas for research into both Asian American and Chinese American populations and contribute to an overall gap in research within these demographic groups.
