abstract: 'This paper examines the association between US county occupational
structure, services availability, prevalence of risk factors, and
coronary mortality rates by sex and race, for 1984 1998. The 3137 US
counties were classified into five occupational structure categories;
counties with the lowest percentages of the labor force in managerial,
professional, and technical occupations were classified in category I
(5-16\%), counties with the highest percentages were in category V
(32-59\%). Directly age-adjusted coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality
rates, for aged 35-64 years, (from vital statistics and Census data),
per-capita services (County Business Patterns), and the prevalence of
CHD risk factors (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Surveys data) were
calculated for each occupational structure category. CHD mortality rates
and the prevalence of risk factors were inversely monotonically
associated with occupational structure categories for white men and
women but not among black men and women. Numbers of producer services
for banking, business credit, overall business services and
personnel/employment services were 2-12 times greater in category V
versus I counties. Consumer services such as fruit/vegetable markets,
fitness facilities, doctor offices and social services were 1.6-3 times
greater in category V versus I counties. Residential racial segregation
scores remained high in most areas despite declines during 1980-1990;
occupational segregation by race and gender were shown indicating
continued institutional racism. An ecological model for conceptualizing
communities and health and the overall influence of state and national
occupational structure is discussed; intervention strategies such as
decreased wage disparities and `living wage'' standards and development
is discussed. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.'
