Ethnic differences in the burden of cardiovascular disease risk factors among adult residents of London: the TOGETHER study
This large-scale analysis of a diverse population suggests variation in CVD risk factor burden among relatively young individuals without CVD. While not implying causality, these findings reflect inequalities between ethnic groups and support an appraisal of early, tailored, and equitable public health policies to improve CVD risk management across diverse populations.
