大量研究表明，社会网络特征与健康和死亡率有关。其他文献表明，社交网络的结构和功能因种族和社会经济地位而异。目前的文件旨在综合和进一步的背景下，这两个独立的机构的工作，以及说明潜在的机制，社交网络可能有助于目前的差距在心血管疾病outcomes.Recent FindingsA越来越多的研究已经审查了社交网络和心血管疾病的结果之间的联系。社交孤立和孤独是冠心病和中风的两个基于网络的风险来源。社会资源理论提供了一个框架，网络结构和功能如何在不同的人口群体之间可能有所不同，并主张更多的研究，对社会的健康驱动因素的差异。虽然以前的研究往往侧重于网络内部缺乏支持或资源，但最近的研究也指出了网络的潜在负面影响，包括负担，这为网络影响健康提供了额外的途径。其他机制联系社交网络与心血管疾病的风险，包括社会影响的行为与理想的心血管健康，discussed.SummaryExamination社会网络结构和功能之间的不同人群，包括美国黑人和低社会经济地位的个人，可能阐明潜在的来源的生理和心理困扰，以及来源的支持，与心血管疾病的结果相关。对这些关联的更深入了解可能为缓解高危人群心血管疾病差异的系统性原因提供解决方案。
Purpose of ReviewA large body of research has indicated social network characteristics are associated with health and mortality. Additional literature suggests the structure and function of social networks differ by race and socioeconomic status. The current paper seeks to synthesize and further contextualize these two separate bodies of work, as well as illustrate potential mechanisms by which social networks may contribute to current disparities in cardiovascular disease outcomes.Recent FindingsAn increasing number of studies have examined the link between social networks and cardiovascular outcomes. Social isolation and loneliness are two network-based sources of risk for coronary heart disease and stroke. Social resource theory provides a framework for how network structure and function may differ among distinct population groups, and argues for more research regarding differential access to social drivers of health. While previous studies have often focused on lack of support or resources within networks, recent studies have also pointed to potentially negative effects of networks, including burden, which provide additional pathways through which networks affect health. Other mechanisms linking social networks with cardiovascular disease risk, including social influence for behaviors associated with ideal cardiovascular health, are discussed.SummaryExamination of social network structure and function among diverse populations, including Black Americans and low socioeconomic status individuals, may elucidate potential sources of physiological and psychological distress, as well as sources of support, that are associated with cardiovascular disease outcomes. A richer understanding of these associations may offer solutions for alleviating systemic causes of cardiovascular disease disparities among high-risk populations.
