Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether genetic ancestry was associated with subclinical atherosclerosis measures after adjustment for traditional cardiovascular disease risk factors, inflammatory marker, socioeconomic status, and psychosocial factors in a large admixed African American population. APPROACH AND RESULTS: Participants were drawn from the Jackson Heart Study. Participant's percent of European ancestry (PEA)...
