Abstract in brief
- The study found that African Americans experiencing higher levels of discrimination, both lifetime and everyday, have an increased risk of developing hypertension.
- Discrimination was self-reported by participants, and those with medium or high levels of lifetime discrimination showed significantly higher chances of incident hypertension compared to those with low discrimination levels.
- While stress from lifetime discrimination was initially linked to higher hypertension risk, this association weakened after accounting for other health risk factors, suggesting discrimination may play a role in hypertension development among African Americans.

A timely and sobering study. Among African Americans who were followed for several years, those who reported greater stress from lifetime discrimination were more likely to develop hypertension after adjusting for other risk factors. We need to do better. https://t.co/U5wnJmwCJW
