This descriptive study examined the ability of anxiety, depressive symptoms, and perceived
social support to predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in African American adults
(N = 57) with type 2 diabetes but no prior history of CVD events. All completed a questionnaire
packet during structured interviews. Participants had CVD risk profiles that indicated
a greater than 20% probability of experiencing a CVD event in the next 2 to 10 years
based on diabetes status alone. The variance (10%) in CVD risk accounted for by the
variables examined was not statistically significant, suggesting that other variables
may be better predictors of CVD risk.
