This comprehensive review explores the racial and socioeconomic determinants of cardiovascular health, focusing on the prevalence of risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and smoking among different racial and ethnic groups. The study highlights that non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic populations face higher rates of these risk factors and systemic barriers linked to lower socioeconomic status (SES), including lack of education, lower income, higher unemployment, and poor living conditions. These barriers contribute to poorer health outcomes, including higher levels of food and housing insecurity and inadequate insurance coverage. Additionally, these populations suffer from higher rates of mental health disorders like depression and anxiety, which further complicate cardiovascular health. The review emphasizes the need for further research to understand how SES and race influence cardiovascular health and to develop targeted interventions and public health strategies that address these disparities. By integrating comprehensive socioeconomic data into cardiovascular health strategies, it is possible to create interventions that meet the needs of diverse communities and potentially reduce morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases.This comprehensive review explores the racial and socioeconomic determinants of cardiovascular health, focusing on the prevalence of risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and smoking among different racial and ethnic groups.
