Abstract

Background: Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of death in the Russian population to date. Methods: Using generalized estimating equations, we examined the links of area-level socio-economic and environmental deprivation with cardiovascular disease risk factors in the adult population as a whole, as well as in men and women separately. Results: People living in more economically deprived areas had 61 percent higher odds of being obese (Q4: odds ratio (OR) 1.61; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20–2.16), 2.32 times higher odds of having chronic kidney disease (OR 2.32; 95% CI: 1.56–3.44), up to 57 percent higher odds of having hyperuricemia (OR 1.57; 95% CI: 1.31–1.88), and up to 80 percent higher odds of having diabetes mellitus (OR 1.80; 95% CI: 1.71–1.89), compared to those in the least deprived areas. Individuals living in the most environmentally deprived areas were associated with higher odds of hypertension (OR 1.37; 95% CI: 1.19–1.57) and these associations persisted for both when considering men (OR 1.38; 95% CI: 1.19–1.61) and women (OR 1.37; 95% CI: 1.14–1.65) separately. Conclusions: This is the first study to examine the relationship of area characteristics with cardio-metabolic risk factors such as elevated blood pressure and prediabetes, taking into account individual characteristics among the Russian population.
