Factors associated with fruit and vegetable consumption among Burmese refugees
Objective: The Burmese population is one of the fast-growing refugee populations in the USA. This study investigated behavioural and environmental factors associated with fruit and vegetable (FV) consumption among Burmese refugees. Design: We conducted a cross-sectional interview survey in 2018–2019. The 24-h recall was used to assess dietary behaviour. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed with meeting the daily FV consumptio…
Association between preexisting mental illnesses and mortality among medicaid-insured women diagnosed with breast cancer
Growing disparities in an urban food desert
This paper presents findings from our longitudinal study of food environments in two exemplary, contrasting urban neighborhoods in Downtown Albany, New York. The “minority neighborhood” (74% racial/ethnic minority population) is a “food desert” by the United States Department of Agriculture's definition, whereas the adjacent “mixed neighborhood” (33% minority population) is not. The long‐term trend analysis (1970–2018) of the macro‐level food env…
Introducing a dynamic framework to jointly address policy impacts on environmental and human health in a regional produce recovery and redistribution system
Regular consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and all‐cause mortality. Access to fresh produce is limited for individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. Emergency food programs, including food pantries, are important institutions for assuring access to nutritional foods for this population, including fresh produce. Produce availability at such institutions is on the rise tha…

Trends of fruit and vegetable availability in neighbourhoods in Albany, NY, USA, 2003–2012
Objective To investigate a 9-year trend of fresh fruit and vegetable availability and factors associated with the net availability change in two contrasting neighbourhoods. Design Longitudinal design. Data were collected in 2003, 2009 and 2012 through in-store observations. Fresh fruit and vegetable availability was presented by weight-adjusted counts of stores having designated varieties per 10 000 population. Setting A low-income minority neigh…
The Integrated First Year Experience in the Master of Public Health Program
Schools of Public Health historically introduced core curriculum courses in the first year of the Master of Public Health program as independent perspectives; these perspectives included epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, public health biology, health behaviors, and health policy. We performed a pilot project that integrated the core areas around diabetes as a cross-cutting public health issue to provide early exposure to the inte…
Assessment of Community Food Resources
This study aims to assess availability, affordability, and accessibility of food items in a low-income Latino neighborhood within a small city using an on-site food store survey. Store locations were identified by on-site GPS. Results showed the Latino neighborhood had limited availability and above average cost of high-fiber bread. Fresh vegetables were more expensive compared to the non-Latino neighborhood, and more stores in the Latino neighbo…
Retail Food Availability, Obesity, and Cigarette Smoking in Rural Communities
Context: Disparities in the availability of nutritionally important foods and their influence on health have been studied in US urban communities. Purpose: To assess the availability of selected retail foods and cigarettes, and explore ecologic relationships of the availability with obesity and smoking in rural communities. Methods: Inventories of all food stores (n = 182) in 2 rural New York counties were surveyed. The study area was divided int…

Diabetes Prevalence Among Puerto Rican Adults in New York City, NY, 2000
This study assessed the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes and associated characteristics among Puerto Rican adults in New York City, NY, with a random-digit–dialed telephone survey with a dual-frame sampling design. Overall, 11.3% (95% confidence interval = 8.7%, 14.0%) had diagnosed diabetes; diabetes was significantly related to age, obesity, and family history; and the prevalence was high among those with the least education. This study showed …
Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes and Related Risk Factors
Following migration to the West, intergenerational increases in the prevalence of diabetes among Japanese have been reported.1,2 Diabetes prevalence among second- and third-generation Japanese American adults was considerably higher compared with the rates in Japan.3,4 This phenomenon has generated the “Westernization hypothesis,” whereby gradual adaptation of a Western lifestyle, including a high-fat diet and physical inactivity, contributes to …
