“…The internal replication cohort included an additional 1544 Bio Me participants who enrolled after 2012. External replication cohorts consisted of 1809 participants in the Vanderbilt University Medical Center BioVU Biobank, 567 participants in the Northwestern University NUgene Biobank, [29] and 3210 participants in the Jackson Heart Study [30] . No cohort, except for GUARDD (age < 75 years) and Jackson Heart Study (age < 84 years), had restrictions on comorbidities for inclusion, or upper age limits.…”

“…13 Briefly, the JHS is a National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)-funded 12-year population-based observational study of CVD and DM in AAs from three counties in the metropolitan area of Jackson, Mississippi. Between 2000 and 2004, 5,301 AA men and women aged 21–84 years were enrolled in the study.…”

Purpose The prevalence and determinants of sudden visual loss (SVL) are unknown in African Americans (AAs). Since SVL can be cardiovascular disease (CVD) related and CVD is highly prevalent in AAs, we examined the prevalence of and CVD factors related to self-reported SVL lasting 24 hours or longer in the cohort of AAs enrolled in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS). Methods The study population comprised of 5,301 participants enrolled from 2000–2004 in the metropolitan area of Jackson, MS. All participants who responded to the question “Have you ever had any sudden loss of vision or blurring, lasting 24 hours or longer?” on the baseline stroke questionnaire were included in the study. We estimated the prevalence of SVL and used regression modeling to identify CVD factors independently related to SVL. Results There were 5262 participants included, of which 63% (3334/5262) were female. The prevalence of SVL was 3.6% (193/5262) overall (4.4% in females and 2.4% in males) and 8.7% (84/965) in patients with DM. Factors independently related to SVL included coronary heart disease (OR, 1.69 [95%CI, 1.12–2.56]), cerebrovascular disease (OR, 2.81 [95%CI, 1.76–4.47]), diabetes (OR, 2.85 [95% CI, 2.05–3.94]), hypertension (OR, 1.64 [95%CI, 1.09–2.45]), female gender (OR, 1.82 [95%CI: 1.24–2.67]), and income less than $50,000 (OR, 2.05 [95%CI: 1.28–3.30]. Conclusions In this cohort of AAs, self-reported SVL lasting 24 hours or longer was highly prevalent in women and those with diabetes, and was independently related to gender, CVD, CVD risk factors and household income.

“…A comparison of the Black American cohort in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS) and a matched cohort in the Framingham Study, across all body mass index (BMI) groups, confirmed that Black Americans have a higher prevalence of diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia compared to White Americans [29,30]. The Jackson Heart study also showed a lack of awareness and disparity in treatment of Black Americans with hypercholesterolemia.…”
