Poster Abstract

Mortality from diseases of the heart claimed the lives of 186,074 New Jerseyans from 2010 to 2019. This study aims to establish correlations between each of health-related risk factors and death from heart disease in each of six New Jersey counties. Each of the counties ranked by age-adjusted mortality per 100,000 from diseases of the heart. The six counties were divided by the least (Hunterdon, Somerset, Bergen) and greatest (Cape May, Salem, and Cumberland) mortality rates from heart disease. Additionally, this data was broken down into three main categories that include comorbidities, socioeconomic status, and behavior patterns. Each main category is further broken down into subcategories that provide further evidence of how mortality from heart disease impacts the garden state. The main outcome of death in adults over 25 from heart disease from 2010 to 2019 was correlated to 28 health factors including comorbidities, behaviors, and socioeconomic factors. An R squared value was calculated to evaluate the strength of the correlation between each factor and the outcome of mortality from disease of the heart.

Comorbidities, Behaviors, and Socioeconomic Factors and Mortality from Diseases of the Heart in New Jersey

Mortality from diseases of the heart claimed the lives of 186,074 New Jerseyans from 2010 to 2019. This study aims to establish correlations between each of health-related risk factors and death from heart disease in each of six New Jersey counties. Each of the counties ranked by age-adjusted mortality per 100,000 from diseases of the heart. The six counties were divided by the least (Hunterdon, Somerset, Bergen) and greatest (Cape May, Salem, and Cumberland) mortality rates from heart disease. Additionally, this data was broken down into three main categories that include comorbidities, socioeconomic status, and behavior patterns. Each main category is further broken down into subcategories that provide further evidence of how mortality from heart disease impacts the garden state. The main outcome of death in adults over 25 from heart disease from 2010 to 2019 was correlated to 28 health factors including comorbidities, behaviors, and socioeconomic factors. An R squared value was calculated to evaluate the strength of the correlation between each factor and the outcome of mortality from disease of the heart.
