RESULTS
Among 4,022 individuals, CVD was identified in 1,462 (36.4%); 26.6%
had HTN, and had 15.4% MD. High allostatic load was present in 33.0%.
After adjustment for covariates, high allostatic load was associated
with CVD (aOR 2.0, 1.8-2.3), HTN (2.1, 1.8-2.4), and MD (1.7, 1.5-2.1).
There was a reduction in the magnitude of the relationship between race
and CVD with the addition of allostatic load. Self-reported race did not
significantly moderate the relationship between allostatic load and CVD.
