Mapping food access
Limited access to affordable, nutritious food is a key structural determinant of health inequality. In the United Kingdom, food desert risk is often assumed to mirror socioeconomic deprivation, yet their alignment across small-area geographies remains unclear. To characterize the spatial distribution of food desert risk across England, Wales, and Scotland; quantify its association and concordance with area-level deprivation; and identify deprivat…

Pathways explaining racial/ethnic and socio-economic disparities in brain white matter integrity outcomes in the UK Biobank study
Pathways explaining racial/ethnic and socio-economic status (SES) disparities in white matter integrity (WMI) reflecting brain health, remain underexplored, particularly in the UK population. We examined racial/ethnic and SES disparities in diffusion tensor brain magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) markers, namely global and tract-specific mean fractional anisotropy (FA), and tested total, direct and indirect effects through lifestyle, health-relat…
Determinants of Covid-19 Outcome as Predictors of Delayed Healthcare Services among Adults ≥50 Years during the Pandemic
Among older adults, sex, education and depressive symptoms are key predictors of delayed healthcare services attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. Delays in surgical and non-surgical healthcare services may have distinct predictors, with non-surgical delays more frequently observed among individuals with a history of 1 or 2 cardiovascular and/or metabolic conditions

Racial disparities in adult all-cause and cause-specific mortality among us adults
In sum, racial/ethnic disparities in all-cause and cause-specific mortality (particularly cardiovascular and neoplasms) were partly explained by socio-demographic, SES, health-related and dietary factors, and differentially by age, sex and poverty strata
Dietary Antioxidant Intake and Its Association With Cognitive Function in an Ethnically Diverse Sample of US Adults
BACKGROUND: Dietary antioxidants can inhibit reactions accompanying neurodegeneration and thus prevent cognitive impairment. We describe associations of dietary antioxidants with cognitive function in a large biracial population, while testing moderation by sex, race, and age and mediation by depressive symptoms. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional analysis of 1274 adults (541 men and 733 women) aged 30 to 64 years at baseline (mean [standard dev…
Helicobacter pylori Seropositivity and Cognitive Performance Among US Adults
BACKGROUND: Helicobacter pylori seropositivity is a potential risk for poor cognition among US adults. METHODS: Cross-sectional data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III, Phase 1 (1988-1991), were used. Measures included age group-specific neuropsychological test batteries and two measures of H. pylori seropositivity (immunoglobulin G [IgG] and IgG CagA) (20-59 years old: n = 2090-2,248; 60-90 years old: n = 2123-2388). W…
Intimate partner violence against adult women and its association with major depressive disorder, depressive symptoms and postpartum depression
Receiver-operating characteristics of adiposity for metabolic syndrome
Objective To assess the predictive values of various adiposity indices for metabolic syndrome (MetS) among adults using baseline data from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) cohort. Design In a cross-sectional study, BMI, waist circumference (WC), body composition by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and metabolic risk factors such as TAG, HDL cholesterol, blood pressure, fasting glucose and insuli…
Statins and serum cholesterol's associations with incident dementia and mild cognitive impairment
BACKGROUND: Statin use and serum cholesterol reduction have been proposed as preventions for dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS: 1604 and 1345 eligible participants from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA) were followed after age 50 for a median time of around 25 years, to examine the incidence of dementia (n=259) and MCI (n=138), respectively. Statin use (ever-use and time-dependent use), total cholesterol levels …
