Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Clinical and Social Factors With Excess Hypertension Risk in Black Compared With White US Adults
George Howard,Mary Cushman,Claudia S. Moy,Suzanne Oparil,Paul Muntner,Daniel T. Lackland,Jennifer J. Manly,Matthew L. Flaherty,Suzanne E. Judd,Virginia G. Wadley,D. Leann Long,Virginia J. Howard +11 more
TL;DR: In a mediation analysis comparing incident hypertension among black adults vs white adults in the United States, key factors statistically mediating the racial difference for both men and women included Southern diet score, dietary ratio of sodium to potassium, and education level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contributors to the Excess Stroke Mortality in Rural Areas in the United States.
George Howard,Dawn Kleindorfer,Mary Cushman,D. Leann Long,Adam Jasne,Suzanne E. Judd,John C. Higginbotham,Virginia J. Howard +7 more
TL;DR: The higher stroke mortality in rural regions seemed to be attributable to higher stroke incidence rather than case fatality, and a higher prevalence of risk factors and lower socioeconomic status only modestly contributed to the increased risk of incident stroke risk in rural areas.
Journal ArticleDOI
A marginalized zero-inflated Poisson regression model with overall exposure effects.
TL;DR: A marginalized ZIP model approach for independent responses to model the population mean count directly is developed, allowing straightforward inference for overall exposure effects and empirical robust variance estimation for overall log-incidence density ratios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations between very low concentrations of low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high sensitivity C-reactive protein, and health outcomes in the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) study.
Peter E. Penson,D. Leann Long,George Howard,Peter P. Toth,Paul Muntner,Virginia J. Howard,M M Safford,Steven R. Jones,Seth S. Martin,Mohsen Mazidi,Alberico L. Catapano,Maciej Banach,Maciej Banach,Maciej Banach +13 more
TL;DR: It is found that low hs-CRP (<2 mg/L) appeared to be associated with reduced risk of incident stroke, incident CHD, and CHD death, whereas low LDL-C (<70”mg/dL) was not associated with protective effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Marginalized zero-inflated negative binomial regression with application to dental caries.
TL;DR: A marginalized zero-inflated negative binomial regression model for independent responses is proposed to model the population marginal mean count directly, providing straightforward inference for overall exposure effects based on maximum likelihood estimation.
