In addition to keeping city residents safer where they live, work, and play, , a new analysis of data from Chicago shows that as violent crime decreases, so does the area's death rate from heart disease. This study, published in thefrom researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania, demonstrated the deep impact that violence can have not just on the individuals involved, but also in the community at large.
"It's important to acknowledge the impact of the built environment on health," said the study's lead author, Lauren Eberly, MD, a clinical fellow in Cardiovascular Medicine and associate fellow of the Leonard Davis Institute."Exposure toappears to be an important social determinant of cardiovascular health within the broader context of the ways in which structural racism harms health.
Data from the most recent 15 years of data available out of Chicago, 2000-2014, covered an overall, significant decline in violent crime. City-wide, the decline was 16 percent total, and coincided with a 13 percent decrease in cardiovascular diseaseBut when the researchers examined neighborhood-level numbers, they saw that deeper declines in violent crime appeared to correlate with sharper declines in-related mortality, too.
"We hope that, given these results, people will consider the root causes of violence," Eberly said."We must acknowledge the legacy of racist policies and practices that have led to concentrated disadvantage and crime in Black and other racially and ethnically minoritized neighborhoods.
