Background: The presence and interpretation of racial and ethnic differences in circulating N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a diagnostic biomarker for heart failure, are controversial. Objective: To examine racial and ethnic differences in NT-proBNP levels among the general US adult population. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional analysis of data from the 1999–2004 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). We included 4717 non-Hispanic White, 1675 non-Hispanic Black, and 2148 Mexican American adults aged 20 years or older without a history of cardiovascular disease. We examined the associations of race and ethnicity with NT-proBNP using linear and logistic regression models in the overall population and in a younger, ‘healthy’ subsample. Results: The mean age was 45 years. Median NT-proBNP levels were significantly lower among Black (29.3 pg/mL) and Mexican American adults (28.3.4 pg/mL) compared to White adults (49.1pg/mL, P-values |
