Structural and social determinants of health: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
Overall, MESA has made significant contributions to the field and the published literature, with 20% of its published papers focused on SSDOH. Future SSDOH studies using MESA would benefit by using recently added instruments/data (e.g., early life educational quality), linking SSDOH to biomarkers to determine underlying causal mechanisms linking SSDOH to CVD and aging outcomes, and by focusing on intersectionality, understudied SSDOH (i.e., social support, social context), and understudied outcomes in relation to SSDOH (i.e., sleep, respiratory health, cognition/dementia).
