The psychosocial variable, social support, has been linked to cardiovascular (CVD) outcomes. Many studies demonstrate that high social support is inversely associated with fewer cardiovascular outcomes. The purpose of this research was to examine the association between social support and (1) cardiovascular outcomes and (2) all-cause mortality in a cohort of 93,676 postmenopausal women. Women were followed for an average of 7.6 years. Social support was measured with an abbreviated version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. The associations of CVD events and mortality to social support, as measured early in study enrollment, were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models, adjusting for demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, and lifestyle covariates.

520 $a The psychosocial variable, social support, has been linked to cardiovascular (CVD) outcomes. Many studies demonstrate that high social support is inversely associated with fewer cardiovascular outcomes. The purpose of this research was to examine the association between social support and (1) cardiovascular outcomes and (2) all-cause mortality in a cohort of 93,676 postmenopausal women. Women were followed for an average of 7.6 years. Social support was measured with an abbreviated version of the Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey. The associations of CVD events and mortality to social support, as measured early in study enrollment, were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models, adjusting for demographics, cardiovascular risk factors, and lifestyle covariates.
520 $a The abbreviated MOS Social Support Scale demonstrated high internal consistency (r=0.80). When predicting total CVD, the unadjusted hazard ratios and 95% CI for total CVD in the highest support versus low support group was 0.63 (0.52, 0.76) for women without prior CVD, and 0.72 (0.59, 0.87) for women with prior CVD. The unadjusted hazard ratios and 95% CI for predicting newly diagnosed coronary artery disease in the highest support versus low support group was 0.63 (0.44, 0.89) for women with prior CVD. Associations were not significant when demographic (age, race, education, income), lifestyle (smoking, BMI, physical activity), and cardiovascular risk factor (high cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension) covariates were added to the model. These findings suggest that social support may have an important role in affecting cardiovascular outcomes in this population, but that this effect may be mediated and/or confounded by the studied covariates. Further analyses of these data may clarify the role of these variables.
