Hypertension among Mississippi Workers by Sociodemographic Characteristics and Occupation, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System

Abstract: In 2017, Mississippi had the third highest age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension in the United States. We estimated the prevalence of hypertension by sociodemographic characteristics and occupation and examined the association between hypertension with occupation and sociodemographic characteristics among Mississippi workers. We calculated adjusted prevalence and adjusted prevalence ratios (APRs) by sociodemographic characteristics and occupation among Mississippi adult workers. We analyzed combined 2013, 20… Show more

“…From 2000 through 2018, the CVD death rate declined for all age groups in Mississippi, and those aged 45 to 64 years had the second lowest magnitude of decline. In an earlier study, we found that among Mississippi workers, the likelihood of having hypertension was significantly higher among those aged 45 to 64 years than among those aged 18 to 29 years ( 25 ).…”

“…We previously reported that among adults in Mississippi, the prevalence of obesity (APC, 2.9%) and extreme obesity (APC, 3.6%) increased significantly between 2000 and 2010, with increases occurring across all subgroups (men, women, Black adults, and White adults) ( 24 ). Similarly, overweight workers in Mississippi had a 69% higher likelihood of hypertension compared with workers with a normal weight, and the likelihood of hypertension among obese workers was 2.56 times higher ( 25 ). In the Jackson Heart Study, diabetes was associated with excess risk for cardiovascular mortality of 2.4% (95% CI, 0.4–4.3) ( 26 ).…”

“…Research show a strong relation between high job strains (according to the Karasek´s model, combination of high working demands and low decision-making freedom) and the prevalence of hypertension; this tendency is more accentuated for males [15]. Research [16] also showed increased prevalence of hypertension relied to the blue-collar occupations (repair, maintenance, production). Research [17] showed that quick pauses between working shifts and consecutive night shifts contribute to the risk of hypertension.…”

“…Various studies have shown that occupation, related to socioeconomic status (SES), can be an important factor in determining the onset and/or prognosis of several diseases such as diabetes mellitus (DM) [1], hypertension [2][3][4], and dyslipidemia [5]. Previous work has focused on the relationship between SES and the onset and/or prevalence of diseases [2][3][4]; however, for clinical physicians, it is also important to know whether patients who practice specific occupations are at risk for certain diseases, taking also into consideration the fact that their compliance and adherence to treatment could be influenced by occupational characteristics.…”
