Correlates of Metabolic Syndrome in the Jackson Heart Study Prevalence Ratios and (95% Confidence Intervals).

Figures estimate age-adjusted associations with metabolic syndrome via binomial log regression with multiple imputations for missing covariates performed in PROC GENMOD, with repeated statement for neighborhood census tracts. Reference categories: Lives in most advantaged neighborhoods, does not perceives neighborhood as unsafe. Analysis for metabolic syndrome excludes all diabetics (self-reported, use of diabetic medications, elevated fasting plasma glucose equal or greater than 126 mg/dL, or hemoglobin A1C greater or equal to 6.5%) and individuals with ≤400 kcal daily energy intake.aModels estimate the prevalence ratios associated with neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage and perceived neighborhood safety adjusted for active living index, current smoking status, meeting USDA diet recommendations for percentage of calories as carbohydrate, fat, greater than 15% of daily calories as protein, daily dietary fiber intake, and percentages of calories as alcohol.bAdjusts for age, health behaviors, lives in most disadvantaged neighborhoods, perceives neighborhood as unsafe, neighborhood stability, family household income scaled for family size, and less than high school educational attainment.
