Abstract
Research on the effect of occupation on cardiovascular health (CVH) among older women is limited. Each of the 7 American Heart Association's CVH metrics was scored as ideal (1) or non-ideal (0) and summed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to estimate the odds of poor overall CVH (CVH score of 0-2) comparing women employed in each of the top 20 occupational categories to those not employed in that category, adjusting for age, marital status, and race/ethnicity. 1) Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks; 2) first-line supervisors of sales workers; 3) first-line supervisors of office and administrative support workers; and 4) nursing, psychiatric, and home health aides were more likely to have poor overall CVH compared to women who did not work in these occupations. Several commonly held occupations among women were associated with poor CVH.
