Cardiometabolic conditions - including diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia - are leading contributors to morbidity, mortality, and health disparities across the United States. In Iowa, the burden of these diseases varies substantially by county, with notable geographic and racial/ethnic inequities. This ecological study analyzed data from all 99 Iowa counties to assess the prevalence of cardiometabolic diseases, evaluate demographic correlations, and identify underserved regions we term "cardiometabolic screening deserts.
