Racial and Ethnic Differences in Peripheral Neuropathy Risk Factors Among United States Adults
We found that PN risk factors likely explain higher PN prevalence in non-Hispanic Black individuals but not among Hispanic individuals. We also determined SDOH risk factors-including being uninsured, and, in Hispanic individuals, experiencing food insecurity-increased the odds of PN, indicating the need for screening, prevention, and treatment of PN in persons with SDOH risk factors.
