N2 - INTRODUCTION Perceived and actual access to healthy foods may differ in urban areas, particularly among Black people. We assessed the effect of objective and perceived neighborhood food access on self-reported cardiovascular disease (CVD) among Black people living in areas of high risk and low risk for the disease in Atlanta, Georgia. We hypothesized that perceived and objective food access would independently predict self-reported CVD. METHODS We used survey data from the Morehouse-Emory Cardiovascular (MECA) Center for Health Equity Study. Study participants consisted of 1,402 Black adults, aged 35 to 64, residing in urban Atlanta census tracts with high rates or low rates of CVD. We assessed perceived neighborhood healthy food access by self-reported selection and quality of produce and low-fat food options. We assessed objective food access by the 2015 US Department of Agriculture Food Access Research Atlas. Low access was defined as census tracts with at least 500 people living more than 1 mile from a large food retailer. Self-reported CVD included related conditions and/or procedures. We used multilevel logistic models adjusted for demographic characteristics to examine the association between objective and perceived food access and self-reported CVD. RESULTS Overall, self-reported CVD was not significant for perceived (odds ratio = 0.87; 95% CI, 0.59-1.29) or objective (odds ratio = 0.74; 95% CI, 0.48-1.12) healthy food access. Similar results were obtained among adults living in areas with higher-than-expected rates of CVD. CONCLUSION Results of this study suggest the odds for self-reported CVD events were not significantly affected by perceived or objective access to healthy foods.
