Table 2.

Relative risk (RR) estimated by Poisson regression with robust error variances examining hypertension among African American men in the Bay Area Heart Health Study (n = 91).

Model 1
RR (95% CI)
Model 2
RR (95% CI)
Model 3
RR (95% CI)

Racial Discrimination 0.84 (0.69, 1.02) 0.85 (0.70, 1.04) 0.92 (0.75, 1.13)
Anti-Black Bias vs. Pro- Black Bias 1.21 (0.85, 1.74) 0.55 (0.26, 1.16)
Discrimination × Racial Bias 1.51 (1.05, 2.19)
Age 1.00 (0.96, 1.04) 1.00 (0.96, 1.04) 1.00 (0.96, 1.04)
Unmarried vs. Married 2.58 (1.35, 4.92) 2.65 (1.42, 4.95) 2.66 (1.42, 4.97)
Poverty Ratio 0.71 (0.60, 0.84) 0.71 (0.60, 0.84) 0.69 (0.58, 0.81)
Uninsured vs. Insured 1.03 (0.70, 1.51) 1.03 (0.71, 1.51) 0.98 (0.68, 1.43)
Waist-Hip Ratio × 10 1.67 (1.25, 2.24) 1.66 (1.24, 2.21) 1.60 (1.21, 213)
Chronic Conditions 1.05 (0.92, 1.19) 1.05 (0.93, 1.18) 1.08 (0.96, 1.23)

Note: Waist-hip ratio was multiplied by a factor of 10 so that results are interpreted as the change in risk of hypertension per 0.10 increase.
