Association of Neighborhood Z-score Quartiles with Metabolic Conditions

The adjusted odds ratios (95% CI) for the presence of metabolic conditions comparing higher neighborhood Z-score quartiles to quartile 1 (reference). Metabolic conditions include: obesity (A), diabetes (B), hypertension (C), and hyperlipidemia (D). The odds ratios are adjusted for age and race. The likelihood of obesity in older women decreased across higher neighborhood Z-score quartiles; the p-value for trend was significant (p=0.002). The likelihood of diabetes in older women also decreased across higher neighborhood Z-score quartiles but did not reach statistical significance (p>0.05). Hypertension and hyperlipidemia were both highly prevalent conditions in older women that did not differ by neighborhood Z-score quartile.
