Description
Hoda Abdel Magid and Michelle Odden ask whether the inequality of a veteran's home neighborhood follows them into a nursing home. Spatial social polarization measures how sharply an area splits between privilege and deprivation. Such splits have been tied to high blood pressure in the general public.
The study covered 41,972 long-term residents, aged 65 and up, in VA nursing homes between 2006 and 2019. Each resident's pre-admission address was scored with census data on race, income, and home ownership. Veterans from the most polarized fifth had about a ten percent higher risk of high blood pressure in their first four weeks. The link held even inside a system with equal access to care.
