Racial Discrimination, Religious Coping, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Among African American Women and Men
Objective This cross-sectional study examined whether religious coping buffered the associations between racial discrimination and several modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors-systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), body mass index (BMI), and cholesterol-in a sample of African American women and men. Methods Participant data were taken from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity Across the…
Synergistic Associations of Depressive Symptoms and Executive Functions With Longitudinal Trajectories of Diabetes Biomarkers Among Urban-Dwelling Adults Without Diabetes
Objective Depressive symptoms and executive functions (EFs) have recently emerged as novel risk factors for type 2 diabetes, but it is unknown if these factors interact to influence diabetes pathophysiology across the life span. We examined the synergistic associations of depressive symptoms and EFs with longitudinal trajectories of diabetes diagnostic criteria among middle-aged and older adults without diabetes. Methods Participants were 1257 Af…
Exploring Neighborhood Social Environment and Social Support in Baltimore
Intervention efforts include social support as a mechanism to promote well-being in diverse communities. Cultivating support can be complex, particularly in disadvantaged urban communities. This complexity is compounded by a lack of studies that attempt to map associations between urban neighborhood environments and social support exchanges. Authors address this gap by analyzing data from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the…
Interactive Relations Across Dimensions of Interpersonal-Level Discrimination and Depressive Symptoms to Carotid Intimal-Medial Thickening in African Americans
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine within-race interactions of multiple dimensions of self-reported discrimination with depressive symptoms in relation to carotid intimal-medial thickness (IMT), a subclinical marker of atherosclerosis prospectively implicated in stroke incidence, in middle-aged to older African American and white adults. METHODS: Participants were a socioeconomically diverse group of 1941 African Americans (56.5%) and whites …
Relations of Executive Function and Physical Performance in Middle Adulthood
Findings did not reveal prospective associations between EF and physical performance decline in middle adulthood. However, they identified robust cross-sectional associations between EF and physical performance, and unexpectedly greater decline in lower extremity strength in men than women. Ultimately, these findings may inform prevention and intervention strategies targeting groups at risk for poorer physical function status and decline
Multiple Influences on Cognitive Function Among Urban-Dwelling African Americans
Differential Associations of Socioeconomic Status With Global Brain Volumes and White Matter Lesions in African American and White Adults
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to examine interactive relations of race and socioeconomic status (SES) to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-assessed global brain outcomes with previously demonstrated prognostic significance for stroke, dementia, and mortality. METHODS: Participants were 147 African Americans (AAs) and whites (ages 33-71 years; 43% AA; 56% female; 26% below poverty) in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the…
Diet quality and cognitive function in an urban sample
Objective Poor diet quality contributes to morbidity, including poor brain health outcomes such as cognitive decline and dementia. African Americans and individuals living in poverty may be at greater risk for cognitive decrements from poor diet quality. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Baltimore, MD, USA. Subjects Participants were 2090 African Americans and Whites (57 % female, mean age=47·9 years) who completed two 24 h dietary recalls. We exam…
Cross-sectional relations of race and poverty status to cardiovascular risk factors in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Lifespan (HANDLS) study
Poverty status moderated race differences for BMI, WC, and HDL-C, conveying increased risk among Whites living in poverty, but reduced risk in their AA counterparts. Race differences for six additional risk factors withstood extensive statistical adjustments including SES indicators
Lifetime racial/ethnic discrimination and ambulatory blood pressure
Objective To determine if the relationships of lifetime discrimination to ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) varied as a function of age in a sample of Black and Latino(a) adults ages 19 – 65. Methods Participants were 607 Black (n = 318) and Latino(a) (n = 289) adults (49% female) who completed the Perceived Ethnic Discrimination Questionnaire-Community Version (PEDQ-CV), which assesses lifetime exposure to racism/ethnic discrimination. They were o…
Race Differences in Diet Quality of Urban Food-Insecure Blacks and Whites Reveals Resiliency in Blacks
Associations Between Diabetes and Cognitive Function in Socioeconomically Diverse African American and White Men and Women
OBJECTIVES: To examine whether race and poverty (income <125% of the federal poverty limit), modifies associations between diabetes and cognition in a biracial, urban-dwelling sample. METHODS: Cross-sectional data for 2066 participants (mean age = 47.6 years, 56.8% women, 56.2% African American, 38.6% below poverty) from the first wave of the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span study were used for analyses. Eleven tes…
The Rebirth of Neuroscience in Psychosomatic Medicine, Part I
Neuroscience was an integral part of psychosomatic medicine at its inception in the early 20th century. Since the mid-20th century, however, psychosomatic research has largely ignored the brain. The field of neuroscience has burgeoned in recent years largely because a variety of powerful new methods have become available. Many of these methods allow for the noninvasive study of the living human brain and thus are potentially available for integra…
The Rebirth of Neuroscience in Psychosomatic Medicine, Part II
During the second half of the last century, biopsychosocial research in psychosomatic medicine largely ignored the brain. Neuroscience has started to make a comeback in psychosomatic medicine research and promises to advance the field in important ways. In this paper we briefly review select brain imaging research findings in psychosomatic medicine in four key areas: cardiovascular regulation, visceral pain in the context of functional gastrointe…
Absence of Relation Between Depressive Symptoms and Carotid Intimal Medial Thickness in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging
OBJECTIVE: To examine the relation between longitudinal trajectories of depressive symptoms as well as history of significant symptoms and subsequent carotid intimal medial thickness (IMT) among participants enrolled in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and to assess longitudinal covariation of depressive symptoms and carotid IMT over two time points. Prior literature has identified inconsistent cross-sectional associations between depres…
Peripheral Arterial Disease and Cognitive Function
OBJECTIVE: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is associated with comorbid atherosclerosis of the coronary and carotid arteries and is a significant risk factor for stroke. However, cognitive function in PAD patients before clinically evident stroke remains poorly characterized. Here we hypothesized that, on neuropsychological testing, PAD patients would perform more poorly than healthy control subjects, and persons with mild cardiovascular disease…
Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Cognitive Function in African Americans
The present study examined the cross-sectional association of medically determined cardiovascular risk factors with cognitive function in 43 African Americans (aged 43-82 yr; 83% women). Measures of attention, memory, and executive functions were evaluated in relation to blood pressure (BP), total cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), and fitness level (peak O(2)). Multiple regression analyses with age, education, number of antihypertensi…
Teaching Psychosomatic (Biopsychosocial) Medicine in United States Medical Schools
OBJECTIVE: A survey of US medical schools regarding the incorporation of psychosomatic (biopsychosocial) medicine topics into medical school curriculum was conducted. The perceived importance and success of this curriculum, barriers to teaching psychosomatic medicine, and curricular needs were also assessed. METHODS: From August 1997 to August 1999, representatives of US medical schools were contacted to complete a survey instrument either by tel…

Gender and Insulin Effects on Stress-Induced Hemodynamic Response, Lipoprotein Lipids, and Anthropometrics in Young Adults
Active Coping and Cardiovascular Reactivity
OBJECTIVE: Active coping enhances cardiovascular response presumably by beta-adrenergically mediated myocardial activation. This study examined impedance-derived hemodynamic parameters underlying blood pressure response to two laboratory tasks requiring active coping, performed either with or without an appetitive (i.e., monetary) incentive. METHOD: Forty-eight healthy, young men completed the Stroop Color-Word Test and Mirror Tracing. Half recei…
Neuropsychological performance of young men who vary in familial risk for hypertension
Neuropsychological performance was examined as a function of parental history of hypertension. Thirty-five normotensive offspring of two hypertensive parents (PH+/+) were compared to 35 offspring of two normotensive parents (PH-/-) and 35 offspring of one hypertensive and one normotensive parent (PH+/-) on tests of abstract reasoning, attention/mental flexibility, memory, perception, psychomotor skills, and visuospatial/constructional abilities. …

Neuropsychological correlates of hypertension
Neuropsychological correlates of hypertension
Essential hypertension is a chronic disorder having many potential physical and behavioral sequelae. This article evaluates the impact of hypertension on neuropsychological test performance. First, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies that examine the neuropsychological correlates of hypertension are reviewed. In general, hypertensives are found to perform more poorly than normotensives, particularly on tests of memory, attention, and abstrac…
