+County-level SNAP policy analysis by Khatana Lab (JACC 2025) provides population-scale evidence that food assistance policy variation predicts cardiovascular mortality outcomes. This completes the evidentiary chain: food insecurity → CVD risk (individual level) AND SNAP policy generosity → lower CVD mortality (population level). The county-level approach detects structural effects that individual-level studies may miss.

 Systematic review of 57 studies identifies the specific SDOH mechanisms: food insecurity, unemployment, poverty-level income, low education, and inadequate insurance independently predict hypertension prevalence and poor BP control. The review explicitly states that 'multilevel collaboration and community-engaged practices are necessary to reduce hypertension disparities — siloed clinical or technology interventions are insufficient.'

+SNAP policy variation predicts county-level CVD mortality (Khatana Lab, JACC 2025), providing population-scale evidence that food assistance infrastructure affects cardiovascular outcomes. This suggests the CVD mortality doubling 2000-2023 reflects not just individual treatment adherence failure but structural policy choices around food security programs. The timing is notable: published March 28, 2025, exactly when OBBBA SNAP cuts were being debated in Congress.
