Health Literacy, Numeracy, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Accordance Among Hypertensive Adults
BACKGROUND: Health literacy (HL) and health numeracy (HN), the ability to interpret and act on quantitative health information, are important for hypertension self-management such as limiting sodium intake. We examined associations of HL, HN, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet accordance. PARTICIPANTS: Among 1,073 hypertensive adults enrolled in a Baltimore, Maryland-based cohort study, we performed a cross-sectional analysis…
Diet quality and cognitive function in an urban sample: Findings from the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study
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…
Race Differences in Diet Quality of Urban Food-Insecure Blacks and Whites Reveals Resiliency in Blacks
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…
The impact of conventional dietary intake data coding methods on foods typically consumed by low-income African-American and White urban populations
Objective Analysing dietary data to capture how individuals typically consume foods is dependent on the coding variables used. Individual foods consumed simultaneously, like coffee with milk, are given codes to identify these combinations. Our literature review revealed a lack of discussion about using combination codes in analysis. The present study identified foods consumed at mealtimes and by race when combination codes were or were not utiliz…
Serum ferritin levels associated with increased risk for developing CHD in a low-income urban population
Objective The present study examined the association of serum ferritin with CHD risk using the Framingham Heart Study's 10-year risk algorithm. Design Ordinal logistic regression modelling was used to interpret risk. Proportional odds modelling assessed four divisions of ranked CHD risk (4, high; 3, increased; 2, slight; 1, minimal), separately by sex. Setting Baltimore, MD, USA. Subjects African-American and white participants ( n 1823) from bas…
Healthy food availability and the association with BMI in Baltimore, Maryland
Objective To study the association between the availability of healthy foods and BMI by neighbourhood race and socio-economic status (SES). Design Trained staff collected demographic information, height, weight and 24 h dietary recalls between 2004 and 2008. Healthy food availability was determined in thirty-four census tracts of varying racial and SES composition using the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey–Stores in 2007. Multilevel linear r…
Receiver-operating characteristics of adiposity for metabolic syndrome: The Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS) study
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…
