Neighborhood-Level Factors Contribute to Disparities in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Incidence in Texas

Abiodun O. Oluyomi et al.

Summary: By conducting a geospatial analysis of the social determinants of health, we identified racial-ethnic disparities in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) incidence rates in Texas. Our findings showed positive associations between HCC and the proportion of Black or African American, Hispanic, over 60 years of age, in the construction industry, and in the service occupation populations in census tracts, while an inverse association was found with the proportion of population employed in the agricultural industry. These associations varied across Texas census tracts.
