  • Psychosocial Correlates of Meeting National Guidelines for Muscle-Strengthening Activities in Latinas

    Open AccessTanya J Benitez, Nanette V Lopez et al.ARTICLEHealth Education & Behavior2022

    Background Performing regular muscle-strengthening activity has numerous health benefits, including improvements in blood pressure, hemoglobin A1c, and lean body mass. Despite the disproportionate prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic disease in Latinas (diabetes, hypertension, obesity), most do not report meeting the national guidelines for muscle-strengthening activity. Existing physical activity (PA) research in Latinas has focused almost ex…

  • Church Contextual Factors Associated With Latinx Physical Activity and Park Use

    Lilian G Pérez, Deborah A Cohen et al.ARTICLEFamily & Community Health2022

    Churches can be important settings for promoting physical activity (PA) among Latinx populations. Little is known about what factors across the church context-social, organizational, and physical (outdoor spaces)-are associated with Latinx PA to inform faith-based PA interventions. This study investigated associations of church contextual factors with Latinx PA. We used cross-sectional data from a Latinx adult sample recruited from 6 churches tha…

  • Demographic and sociocultural risk factors for adulthood weight gain in Hispanic/Latinos

    Open AccessLindsay Fernandez-Rhodes, Nicole M Butera et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Using self-reported and weight history data in a diverse sample of US Hispanic/Latinos, we revealed that both demographic and sociocultural factors were associated with the patterning of adulthood weight gain in this sample. Given the steep rate of weight gain in this population and the fact that many Hispanic/Latinos living in the US immigrated as adults, efforts to promote weight maintenance across the life course, including after immigration, …
