Few reports describe the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors, or race-related disparities in incidence, across the age spectrum in adults. Longitudinal cohort. National sample. Community-dwelling black and white population, recruited between 2003 and 2007. Incident hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and atrial fibrillation over 10 years of follow-up in 10,801 adults, stratified by age as 45–54, 55–64, 65–74 or 75+ years. There was no evidence (p ≥ 0.68) of an age-related difference in the incidence of hypertension for white men (average incidence of 38%), black men (48%), and black women (54%); however for white women incidence increased with age (27% for ages 45–54, to 40% ages 75+). Incidence of diabetes was lower at older ages for white men (15% for ages 45–54, to 8% for 75+), black men (29% age 45–54, to 13% for 75+), and white females (11% for 45–54, to 4% for 75+); however, there was no evidence (p = 0.11) of age-related changes for black women (average incidence 21%). For dyslipidemia, incidence for all race-sex groups was approximately 20% for ages 45–54, but was approximately 30% for ages 54–64 and 65–74, and approximately 22% for ages 75+. Incidence of atrial fibrillation was low at ages 45–54 (<5%), but by age 75+ was approximately 20% for whites and 11% for blacks. The incidence of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia was higher in blacks across the age spectrum, but lower for atrial fibrillation. Incidence of risk factors remains high in older adults. Blacks have a higher incidence of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia after age 45, underscoring the ongoing importance of prevention of all three conditions in mid- to later-life.
