Overcoming Barriers to Latino Participation in Alzheimer's Disease Research
There is a critical need to increase Latino participation in research on Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD). Applying principles of community-based participatory research, we convened a community advisory board (CAB) to identify barriers and recommend strategies to increase participation of older Latinos in a longitudinal observational research study of ADRD at the Shiley-Marcos Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. Six major barrier…
Intracranial Volume Is Driven by Both Genetics and Early Life Exposures
Intracranial volume (ICV) reflects maximal brain development and is associated with later-life cognitive abilities. We quantified ICV among first- and second-generation Hispanic and Latino adults from the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Cognitive Aging - MRI (SOL-INCA-MRI), estimated ICV heritability, and tested its associations with previously reported genetic variants, both individually and as a genetic risk score (GRS). We also estimated the…
Accelerometer-Measured Latent Physical Activity Profiles and Neurocognition Among Middle-Aged and Older Hispanic/Latino Adults in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL)
We found no consistent evidence to link accelerometry-measured MVPA profiles to neurocognitive function. Research to better characterize the role of high occupational MVPA in relation to neurocognition among Hispanic/Latino adults are needed
The Association of Stress, Metabolic Syndrome, and Systemic Inflammation With Neurocognitive Function in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos and Its Sociocultural Ancillary Study
These cross-sectional analyses suggest that stress appraisal, MetS, and systemic inflammation may be targets to reduce neurocognitive dysfunction among Hispanics/Latinos
Changes in Insurance Coverage and Healthcare Use Among Immigrants and US-Born Adults Following the Affordable Care Act
Stress Is Associated With Neurocognitive Function in Hispanic/Latino Adults
Our results suggest that mental and physical health may help explain some cross-sectional associations between stress and cognition and highlight the need to examine culture-specific psychosocial stressors to better understand the context of psychosocial risk factors for neurocognitive performance
Relation of Diabetes to Cognitive Function in Hispanics/Latinos of Diverse Backgrounds in the United States
Objectives: To examine the association between diabetes and cognitive function within U.S. Hispanics/Latinos of Central American, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, and South American background. Method: This cross-sectional study included 9,609 men and women (mean age = 56.5 years), who are members of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos. We classified participants as having diabetes, prediabetes, or normal glucose regulati…
Trajectories of Aging Among U.S. Older Adults
Controlling for lifefcourse factors USB-H and FB-H have equal or higher likelihood for "high morbidity" and "cognitive unhealthy" classifications, respectively, relative to NHWs. Yet, both groups are equally likely of being in the "healthy" group compared to NHWs. These segregations into healthy and unhealthy groups require more research and could contribute to explaining the paradoxical patterns produced when population heterogeneity is not take…
Patient Centered Medical Home Care Among Near-Old and Older Race/Ethnic Minorities in the US
A longitudinal analysis of cross-border ties and depression for Latino adults
The healing relationship in Indigenous patients' pain care
Indigenous persons suffer from among the highest rates of chronic pain in the United States. Using a relationship-centered medical decision-making framework, this study sought to examine the influence of Indigenous racial concordance and patient ethnic salience on providers’ assessment of pain. From May to October 2010, pre-identified healthcare providers working exclusively with Indigenous patients in the United States were randomly assigned an …
Sexual behavior and vulnerability to HIV infection among seasonal migrant laborers in Metema district, northwest Ethiopia
Seasonal laborers commonly exhibit risky sexual behaviors likely to increase their vulnerability to HIV infection. Unprotected and multiple sex partners in these populations pose transmission risks to seasonal laborers and onward to their wives and future sexual partners. The findings support the need for targeted HIV prevention campaigns designed for seasonal workers and their sexual partners
Emergency Department Services Use Among Immigrant and Non-immigrant Groups in the United States
Medical Expenditures Among Immigrant and Nonimmigrant Groups in the United States
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to examine time trends and differences in medical expenditures between noncitizens, foreign-born, and US-born citizens. METHODS: We used multi-year Medical Expenditures Panel Survey (2000-2008) data on noninstitutionalized adults in the United States (N=190,965). Source specific and total medical expenditures were analyzed using regression models, bootstrap prediction techniques, and linear and nonlinear …
The Metabolic Syndrome, Biomarkers, and the Acculturation–Health Relationship Among Older Mexican Americans
Immigrant health advantages over U.S.-born Mexican Americans are not evident in older adulthood. Higher acculturation was associated with lowered metabolic syndrome risk among older foreign-born Mexican Americans. This suggests that the prevailing acculturative stress hypothesis may not apply to the health of older adults and that any negative relationship between acculturation and health found in younger adults may yield to different development…
Pathways Between Acculturation and Health
The purpose of this study was to assess the association between acculturation and functional health using multiple proxies of acculturation to examine explanatory pathways to clarify disparate health findings. A population-based cross-sectional, multistage probability sample from the Hispanic Established Populations for the Epidemiologic Studies of the Elderly ( N = 3,050) was used. The dependent variables of neuropsychiatric function were depres…
Depression Care in the United States
OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and adequacy of depression care among different ethnic and racial groups in the United States. DESIGN: Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES) data were analyzed to calculate nationally representative estimates of depression care. SETTING: The 48 coterminous United States. PARTICIPANTS: Household residents 18 years and older (N = 15 762) participated in the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Past-ye…
The epidemiology of major depression and ethnicity in the United States
Context of Entry and Number of Depressive Symptoms in an Older Mexican-Origin Immigrant Population
Childhood Socioeconomic Position and Disability in Later Life
Objectives. We used a life course approach to assess the ways in which childhood socioeconomic position may be associated with disability in later life. Methods. We used longitudinal data from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study (1998–2006) to examine associations between parental education, paternal occupation, and disabilities relating to activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs)…
The Health of Older Mexican Americans in the Long Run
Objectives. We compared risk for several medical illnesses between immigrant and US-born older Mexican Americans to determine the relationship between functional health and years of US residency among immigrants. Methods. Cross-sectional, multistage probability sample data for 3050 Mexican Americans aged 65 years or older from 5 US southwestern states were analyzed. Self-rated health, medical illnesses, and functional measures were examined in mu…
Perceived discrimination, race and health in South Africa
Prevalence and Distribution of Major Depressive Disorder in African Americans, Caribbean Blacks, and Non-Hispanic Whites
CONTEXT: Little is known about the relationship between race/ethnicity and depression among US blacks. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the prevalence, persistence, treatment, and disability of depression in African Americans, Caribbean blacks, and non-Hispanic whites in the National Survey of American Life. DESIGN: A slightly modified adaptation of the World Health Organization World Mental Health version of the Composite International Diagnostic Intervie…
The Mental Health of Black Caribbean Immigrants
Objectives. We examined the prevalence of psychiatric disorders among Black Caribbean immigrant (“Caribbean Black”) and African American populations and the correlates of psychiatric disorders among the Caribbean Black population. Methods. We conducted descriptive and age-adjusted analyses of the data from the National Survey of American Life—an in-person household mental health survey of noninstitutionalized US Blacks. We assessed psychiatric di…
