Inequalities and Disparities in Cardiovascular Health (BSL-interpreted)

Description

Watch without BSL-interpretation here: https://youtu.be/zpcrt-XSzUw Authors of this Lancet Regional Health Europe Series highlight some of their findings, and outline the actions urgently needed to address inequalities and disparities in cardiovascular health. Despite well-established health-care systems in many high-income and middle-income regions, persistent gaps in representation, access, and care continue to undermine equity in cardiovascular health, resulting in disproportionate disease burden and disparities in outcomes. This Series examines the structural and systemic drivers of disparities affecting four populations at high risk: women, racial and ethnic minorities, older adults, and individuals with mental health conditions. Each paper in this Series synthesises current evidence and proposes actionable, evidence-based strategies to promote equity in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of cardiovascular diseases. Tackling these disparities requires an intersectional, inclusive, and patient-centred approach that addresses sex, race, age, mental health, and socioeconomic determinants across clinical and public health systems.
