Abstract: | Rationale: Living in a disadvantaged neighborhood has been associated with worse survival in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), however, prior studies have only examined the impact of neighborhood health on outcomes in IPF as a composite measure. Objectives: To investigate the association between neighborhood health and disease severity, measured by pulmonary function at presentation, and death in follow-up, with an additional focus on the contributions of the neighborhood's underlying physical and social factors to these outcomes. Methods: In a retrospective study of participants from the University of California, San Francisco, IPF Cohort (2001–2020), geocoded home addresses were matched to the California Healthy Places Index (HPI), a census-tract measure of neighborhood health. The HPI comprises 25 indicators of neighborhood health that are organized into eight physical and social domains, each of which is weighted and summed to provide a composite HPI score. Regression models were used to examine associations between the HPI as a continuous variable, in quartiles, and across each physical and social domain of the HPI (higher values indicate greater advantage) and forced vital capacity (FVC) percent predicted (% predicted), diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (Dl |
