- People living in communities with rising crime rates may be more likely than those in safer neighborhoods to develop high blood pressure, a new study suggests.
The researchers tracked shifts in blood pressure for 17,783 adults living in Chicago from 2014 to 2016, a period when crime surged in some communities. They also calculated violent crime rates in each community by looking at the number of incidents per year for every 1,000 people in a census tract. Overall, each increase of 20 incidents/1,000 in violent crime rates in the city was associated with 3% higher odds of having blood pressure that was elevated above 140/90 mmHg, which is just above the range considered healthy. Each 20-unit increase was also linked to 6% higher odds of having a hospital admission for cardiovascular problems.
But in safer neighborhoods, a 20-unit increase in citywide violent crime rates was associated with 5% higher odds of elevated blood pressure.
