Exploring Determinants of Cardiovascular Health in Métis Women: The Role of Adverse Childhood and Discrimination Experiences, Social Support, and Physical Fitness
Métis women in Canada experience greater cardiovascular (CV) diseases, compared with non-Indigenous women. However, determinants of CV health for Métis women remain unclear. The objective of this study was to explore differences in adverse childhood and discrimination experiences, social support, and physical fitness levels between Métis women with high and low arterial stiffness.
