Dr. Nekehia Quashie and a team of US and Puerto Rico based researchers recently published a study  -Neighborhood socioeconomic position, living arrangements and cardiometabolic disease among older Puerto Ricans: An examination using PREHCO 2002-2007. The study showed that living in a socioeconomically advantaged neighborhood was associated with a lower risk of having a cardiometabolic condition possibly reflecting better healthcare access. Also, older adults living alone and those living with children in relatively socioeconomically advantaged neighborhoods had a lower risk of having and developing a cardiometabolic condition. These findings suggest that household contexts are more salient than neighborhoods for older adults’ health in Puerto Rico. Furthermore, living in higher-quality environments,  alone or with children may be health protective.
