2 Cross sectional and longitudinal associations of type 2 diabetes and neighborhood environments: The Jackson Heart Study (JHS). Samson Gebreab CIAHD 11/14/2014 Disclaimer Dr. Gebreab contributed to this presentation in his personal capacity. The views expressed are his own and do not necessarily represent the views of the National Institutes of Health or the United States Government. Background Neighborhood environment has been implicated with a variety of health outcomes, including type 2 diabetes. Diez Roux et al. (2002) found neighborhood deprivation was associated with the insulin resistance syndrome in black adults using ARIC Study. Schootman et al. (2007) found adverse housing conditions were associated with an increased risk of diabetes in urban middle aged African Americans living in St. Louis, Missouri. Krishnan et al. (2009) found association between neighborhood socioeconomic status and incidence of diabetes among African American women in the Black Women's Health Study. Auchincloss et al. (2009) found better neighborhood resources for physical activity and healthy foods associated with a lower incidence of diabetes in MESA study, but this study did not investigate the associations by race/ethnicity. Overall, there is limited studies of the associations between specific features of neighborhood environments and diabetes in African Americans. 1

3 Conceptual Model Neighborhood Environments and Incident Diabetes Socio Demographic (age, gender, SES) Family History Obesity Neighborhood Environments Incident T2DM Health Behaviors (smoking, alcohol, physical activity, diet) Objectives To examine cross sectional and longitudinal associations between neighborhood physical and social environments and type 2 diabetes. To examine where individual socioeconomic status, level of physical activity, diet, and BMI partially explain the associations of neighborhood physical and social environments with type 2 diabetes. Research Hypothesis Are neighborhood environments at baseline associated with prevalence, of type 2 diabetes. Hypothesis 1: People living in better neighborhood environment experience decreased odds of having type 2 diabetes. Are neighborhood environments at baseline associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes? Hypothesis 2: People living in better neighborhood environments at baseline experience lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Are changes in neighborhood environments over time associated with incident of type 2 diabetes? Hypothesis 3: People living in neighborhoods with greater improvements of neighborhood environments over time will have decreased risk in diabetes over time. 2

4 Study Population The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is a prospective cohort study designed to investigate factors that influence the development of CVD in African Americans. Between 2000 and 2004, 5,301, non institutionalized African American men and women aged 21 to 95 were recruited from three counties (Hinds, Madison, Rankin counties ). For this analysis data from the baseline and 2 follow up exams was used. Baseline exam ( ), exam 2 ( ) and exam 3 ( ) Outcome Diabetes was measured at baseline, Exam 2, and Exam 3. Type 2 diabetes was defined according to 2010 American Diabetes Association criteria (ADA, 2010). Prevalence of diabetes was determined based in participants that have type 2 diabetes at baseline exam. Incident diabetes was determined in participants who were free of type 2 diabetes at baseline exam. The date of incident diabetes was assigned to the midpoint between the last visit without diabetes and the next visit with diabetes. Neighborhood Environments Survey Based Neighborhood Environments (measured at exam 1) Social cohesion Violence Problems Age& gender adjusted unconditional empirical Bayes estimates GIS Based Densities of Neighborhood Resources ( measured at Exam 1 & Exam 2) Food store density Favorable food stores Sum of supermarket (chain and non chain) and fruit and vegetable markets 1 mile Kernel density Unfavorable food stores Sum of convenience stores, bakeries/nuts/candy/ice cream, liquor stores, drinking places (alcoholic), fast food chains and fast food nonchains 1 mile Kernel density Total physical activities resources Indoor conditioning, dance, bowling, backing, hiking, and team and racquet sports, swimming, physical activity instruction, and water activities. 1 mile Kernel density 3

6 Additional Covariates Baseline covariates Age (years) Gender (Male or female) Socioeconomic status: Income and Education BMI (continuous) Smoking (current smokers) Alcohol consumption (yes/no) Physical activity (continuous) Family history of diabetes (yes/no) Diet (% fat), Also adjusted for Time-varying covariates (Age, BMI) Statistical Analysis Generalized estimating equations (GEEs) models were used to estimate the associations between neighborhood features and prevalence of diabetes, with census tract id specified as a cluster variable. Cox proportional hazards models with sandwich estimator were used to estimate the associations neighborhood features (time invariant and time varying) and incident of diabetes. Midpoint between visits was used to approximate time to incidence of diabetes. As a sensitivity analysis, interval censoring using weibull accelerated failure time (AFT) regression models were also performed (results were similar). Five sequential models were fitted for each neighborhood features. Model 1: Age and family history, Model 2: Model 1 + individual SES variables (i.e., income and education), Model 3: Model 2 + current smokers + alcohol consumption, Model 4: Model 3 + physical activity + diet, Model 5: Model 4 + BMI Sample size flow chart Prevalence of Diabetes (Baseline Exam) Incidence of Diabetes (Exam 1 Exam3) Excluding missing diabetes N=92 Excluding baseline diabetes & missing diabetes N= Excluding missing Neighborhood variables N=11 Excluding missing Neighborhood variables N= Excluding missing baseline covariates N=315 Excluding missing baseline covariates N= Analysis sample (Note: Missing Income 3695 Analysis sample (Note: Missing income (N=766 (16%)) coded as dummy variable) (N=562(15%)) coded as dummy variable) 5

10 Summary of Findings Neighborhoods with better social cohesion were associated, with 24% of lower prevalence of diabetes in men, but not in women. Neighborhoods with worse problem were associated, with 37% of higher prevalence of diabetes in men, but not in women. Neighborhood violence, densities of favorable and unfavorable food stores, and physical activities resources were not associated with prevalence of diabetes in both women and men. Neighborhoods with higher social cohesion was associated, with 28% of lower incidence of diabetes in women after adjusting for risk factors of diabetes. Additional adjustment for baseline BMI slightly reduced to 24% of lower incidence of diabetes among women. Density of unfavorable food stores was associated with 25% and 48% of increased risk of diabetes in women and men, respectively, even after adjusting for diabetes risk factors, including BMI. Neighborhood violence and problems, and densities of favorable food stores and physical activity resources were not associated with incident diabetes. Strengths and Limitations Strengths Longitudinal and incident data. Specific features of neighborhood environments Survey and GIS based measures Limitations Results are not generalizable to other population or other regions of US Residual confounding factors: eating habits, cultural beliefs health conscious, etc. GIS based densities of food stores physical resources are limited don t capturing the types, access and pricing food items and physical activity resources, as well as awareness of these resources.
