DESCRIPTION:Session: Veteran's Caucus Poster Session 4 Program: Veterans C
 aucus Presenter: Karen Wang\, MD\, MHS Authors: Carol Oladele\, PhD\, MPH
  Kelson Zawack\, PhD Abstract Studies show disparities in health outcomes
  between individuals in U.S. continent and territories This study investi
 gated differences in hypertension (HTN) risk among veterans born in the U
 nited States’ 50 States and District of Columbia (US-DC) and Territories 
 (US-T). Veterans Health Administration Corporate Data Warehouse data were
  used to identify veterans who received services between 2001 and 2017 an
 d free of HTN in 2001. Place of birth data were extracted to categorize v
 eterans as US-DC or US-T born. HTN was identified in electronic records u
 sing ICD-10 codes. Person-years were estimated. Rate ratios and logistic 
 regression modeling were used to examine differences in incident HTN betw
 een US-DC or US-T born veterans. Our sample included 548\,026 veterans. N
 inety-eight percent were born in the US-DC and 2.2% were born in the Cari
 bbean and Pacific US-territories. Pacific-born veterans had the highest H
 TN incidence (8\,931 per 100K)\, and US-DC veterans had lowest total inci
 dence rates (4\,581 per 100K). Incidence varied by place of birth and rac
 e\, with highest rates among Asian veterans in the Caribbean (9\,077 per 
 100K) and Pacific territories (10\,428 per 100K). In the US-DC\, incidenc
 e was highest among Black veterans (7\,827 per 100K)\, and Hispanic veter
 ans in Caribbean territories (6\,386 per 100K). Rate ratio estimates show
 ed that hypertension rates were higher among veterans born in the US-T co
 mpared to US-DC. Lastly\, adjusted logistic regression results showed US-
 T born veterans had greater odds of HTN. Further work is needed to unders
 tand differences among veterans in risk factors for HTN by place of birth
