Racial and ethnic disparities in statin adherence: insights from the All of Us Research Program
Addressing cardiovascular disease disparities requires recognizing unique sociodemographic barriers to statin adherence within racial and ethnic groups. Our findings highlight the need for tailored strategies considering the diverse barriers each group faces. Targeted interventions can bridge adherence gaps and improve cardiovascular outcomes across populations. This approach recognizes that although race and ethnicity may correlate with specific barriers, the underlying social determinants of health often play the key role in statin adherence.
