4 Executive Summary and Implications AARP Segunda Juventud Hispanic Heart Health Study A majority of Hispanics ages 40 and older in our survey say that they think they know the warning signs of heart disease. Respondents most frequently mention what are considered the most commonly known warning signs of a heart condition - chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath, and pain in other areas such as arms, upper abdomen, back, neck, jaw, or stomach. Eight percent say that they have a diagnosed heart condition. The majority of them are able to get the treatment they need through their health insurance. Most of those with a diagnosed heart condition are taking steps to manage it. Nearly all are trying to prevent or control high blood pressure, trying to lower their cholesterol, lose weight, or prevent or control diabetes. Hispanics ages 40 and older currently without a heart condition are willing to do a variety of things to help prevent a heart condition from developing in the future. Nearly all are willing to eat a heart healthy diet, lower cholesterol, prevent or control high blood pressure, exercise regularly, prevent or control diabetes, ease stress, or lose weight. Hispanics say that they would seek information on preventing or managing a heart condition from a general practice doctor or a hospital. Implications Among Hispanics ages 40 and older, education regarding heart disease management and prevention - is key. A majority of Hispanics in our survey think that they know the warning signs of heart disease and for the most part they do know the key warning signs of a heart condition. However, there is still onequarter of Hispanics in our survey who were unable to name any symptoms indicating that more information is needed to educate all Hispanics ages 40 and older. Few respondents in our survey have a diagnosed heart condition but among those who do, they are actively trying to manage their condition through a variety of measures. Again, more education dealing with what to do and how to do it would be helpful. Respondents currently without a diagnosed heart condition are split on their concern about developing one in the future less than half are concerned (40%) and a little more than half are not (58%). However, they are willing to take action to prevent a heart condition. Stressing the importance of prevention is important AARP Segunda Juventud Hispanic Heart Health Study, November
5 for doctors and other health care providers to convey to this group, especially those under 65. This is especially true since Hispanics say they would turn to their doctor for information on preventing or managing a heart condition. Methodology This survey was conducted in two waves. The original survey was fielded in October 2007 with a follow-up study conducted in September Both sets of data are presented in the tables and annotated questionnaire, while the text reflects only the most current results. The September 2008 study was conducted for AARP via telephone by ICR, an independent research company using their Hispanic Excel survey. Interviews were conducted from September 9-22, 2008, among a representative sample of 555 Hispanic respondents 40 years of age or older. The margin of error is percent at the 95 percent confidence level. The first wave the survey conducted October 9 to 23, 2007 was among a representative sample of 484 Hispanic respondents 40 years of age or older. The margin of error is percent at the 95 percent confidence level. The annotated questionnaire which reflects results of both waves of this survey is located at the end of this summary in Appendix A. In this report, unless otherwise noted, the total survey sample size is Hispanics ages 40 and older (n= 555). AARP Segunda Juventud Hispanic Heart Health Study, November
6 Warning Signs of Heart Disease Detailed Findings AARP Segunda Juventud Hispanic Heart Health Study A majority of Hispanics ages 40 and older (68%) say that they think they know the warning signs of heart disease. Respondents with incomes of $25,000 or more annually are more likely to say that they think that they know the warning signs of heart disease than those with incomes below $25,000. The most frequently mentioned warning signs of a heart condition are chest pain or discomfort (55%), pain in other areas such as arms, upper abdomen, back, neck, jaw, or stomach (31%) and shortness of breath (27%). About one in five say that they do not know the warning signs of a heart condition (21%).

7 Diagnosed Heart Condition Survey results show that eight percent, or 44 respondents, have a diagnosed heart condition themselves. Nearly one-third (31%) say that an immediate family member has been diagnosed with a heart condition. Managing Heart Condition The majority, but not all, of the 44 respondents with a diagnosed heart condition say that they are able to get the treatment they need for their heart condition through their health insurance 86 percent say they are getting the treatment they need. About one in ten (11%) say that their insurance company has denied them treatment for their condition. 1 Most of the 47 Hispanics ages 40 and older with a diagnosed heart condition are actively taking steps to manage it. Nearly all are trying to prevent or control high blood pressure (90%). About eight in ten are trying to lower their cholesterol (89%), lose weight (86%), or prevent or control diabetes (83%). Majorities are taking other steps. See the table below. Table 2 Managing Their Heart Condition Action to Manage Heart Condition 10/23/07 (n=47) 9/22/08 (n=44) Trying to prevent or control high blood pressure 99% 90% Trying to lower cholesterol Trying to lose weight Trying to prevent or control diabetes Eating a heart healthy diet Trying to ease stress Exercising regularly Moderating alcohol use Beginning an aspirin regimen Quit smoking, if applicable Question 4: Are you currently doing any of the following to help manage your heart condition? N= 44 Hispanics who have been diagnosed with a heart condition Concern about Developing Heart Disease We asked those without heart disease how concerned they are about the possibility of developing a heart condition in the future. Respondents are split with about half saying that they concerned either very (21%) or somewhat (19%) and about half unconcerned. 1 It is possible that some respondents do not currently have health insurance. AARP Segunda Juventud Hispanic Heart Health Study, November
8 Heart Condition Prevention Hispanics ages 40 and older currently without a heart condition are willing to do a variety of things to help prevent a heart condition from developing in the future. Nearly all are willing to eat a heart healthy diet (94%) and exercise regularly (91%). Table 3 Steps to Prevent a Heart Condition Action to Prevent Heart Condition 10/23/07 (n=437) 9/22/08 (n=508) Eating a heart healthy diet 92% 94% Exercising regularly Trying to lower cholesterol Trying to ease stress Trying to prevent or control high blood pressure Trying to prevent or control diabetes Trying to lose weight Beginning an aspirin regimen Moderating alcohol use Quit smoking, if applicable Question 8: Would you be willing to do any of the following to help prevent a heart condition? N = 511 not diagnosed with a heart condition. AARP Segunda Juventud Hispanic Heart Health Study, November
9 Sources of Heart Health Information We asked Hispanics where they would turn to get information on preventing or managing a heart condition. Over two-thirds say that they would see a general practice doctor or other medical professional for information on prevention or management of a heart condition (70%). About two in five would seek this information at a hospital (41%). One-quarter would use the Internet to find information (24%).
