rural cardiovascular disparities

In rural America, heart disease is increasingly claiming younger lives

Summary

Nutrition label

87% Informative

A fifth of Americans live in rural areas, and on average they live three years less than their urban counterparts.

The disparity widened between 2010 and 2022 , driven by a 21% increase in cardiovascular deaths among working-age rural adults.

This is the first national analysis of rural cardiovascular health during Covid-19.

Evidence suggests that telehealth may have worsened disparities in rural areas.

Telehealth was supposed to bridge this gap, but rural communities without internet access were left behind.

West Virginia University has tried to tackle some of these issues by hiring more physician assistants and nurse practitioners, as well as hiring foreign-trained doctors.
