Neighborhood disadvantage and multiple myeloma incidence in the Black Women’s Health Study
Black women living in neighborhoods of high concentrated disadvantage or low socioeconomic status have an increased MM risk. Future studies to identify specific neighborhood-level factors that might influence the risk of MM would be beneficial. Ultimately, community reinvestment may offer an opportunity to reduce the increasing burden of MM among Black women.
