Neighborhood socioeconomic index and stroke incidence in a national cohort of blacks and whites

Conclusions:
Risk of incident stroke increased with decreasing nSES but the effect of nSES is attenuated through individual SES and stroke risk factors. The effect of neighborhood socioeconomic characteristics that contribute to increased stroke risk is similar in black and white participants.
