Investigating Disparities in Prescription Drug Use Among Mexican Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites
Facilitators and barriers of reducing sedentary behavior in sedentary and non-sedentary older adults
Sedentary older adults face barriers such as low awareness of health risks, lack of regulation strategies, and insufficient social support, while non-sedentary older adults demonstrate higher confidence, better self-regulation, and engage in structured activities supported by cues such as mobile health reminders
Association between a pro-inflammatory dietary pattern during pregnancy and type 1 diabetes risk in offspring
BACKGROUND: Immune-mediated processes leading to childhood type 1 diabetes may begin in fetal life. We hypothesised that a maternal inflammatory diet during pregnancy increases offspring risk of type 1 diabetes. METHODS: The Danish National Birth Cohort (DNBC) was recruited during 1996-2002. Maternal Empirical Dietary Inflammatory Index score (EDII-score) was calculated from a comprehensive 360-item self-administered food frequency questionnaire …
Rotating Night Shift Work and Bladder Cancer Risk in Women
Bladder cancer is the sixth most common cancer in the United States. Night shift work has previously been linked with cancer risk. Whether there is an association between rotating night shift work and bladder cancer in women has not been studied previously. Eligible participants in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS, n = 82,147, 1988-2016) and Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII, n = 113,630, 1989-2015) were prospectively followed and a total of 620 and 12…
Physical Activity Intensity Measurement and Health
Physical activity guidelines for health recommend any type of unstructured physical activity for health promotion. Adults should perform at least 150-300 min per week of moderate intensity or 75-150 min per week of vigorous intensity activities, or an equivalent combination of the two intensities. However, the relationship between physical activity intensity and longevity remains a debated topic, with conflicting perspectives offered by epidemiol…
Selenium, antioxidants, cardiovascular disease, and all-cause mortality
Trends in Sedentary Behavior Among the US Population, 2001-2016
Importance: Prolonged sitting, particularly watching television or videos, has been associated with increased risk of multiple diseases and mortality. However, changes in sedentary behaviors over time have not been well described in the United States. Objective: To evaluate patterns and temporal trends in sedentary behaviors and sociodemographic and lifestyle correlates in the US population. Design, Setting, and Participants: A serial, cross-sect…
Colorectal Cancer Epidemiology in the Nurses’ Health Study
Objectives. To review the contribution of the Nurses’ Health Study (NHS) to identifying risk and protective factors for colorectal adenomas and colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods. We performed a narrative review of the publications using the NHS between 1976 and 2016. Results. Existing epidemiological studies using the NHS have reported that red and processed meat, alcohol, smoking, and obesity were associated with an increased risk of CRC, whereas…
Vitamin D deficiency in minority populations
Objective Black and Hispanic individuals synthesize less vitamin D per unit of sun exposure than white individuals. The relationship between UV radiation and vitamin D insufficiency in minorities has not been well explored. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, we obtained serum vitamin D levels for non-Hispanic Whites, Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks aged ≥18 years from 2000–2006. …
Predicted vitamin D status and incidence of tooth loss and periodontitis
Objective Vitamin D insufficiency is highly prevalent, with particular subgroups at greater risk (e.g. the elderly and those with darker skin). Vitamin D insufficiency may partly explain US racial/ethnic disparities in the prevalence of periodontitis and tooth loss. We evaluated the association between a predictor score of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and incidence of periodontitis and tooth loss. Design Detailed biennial questionnaires w…
Meta-analysis of All-Cause Mortality According to Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D
We examined the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and all-cause mortality. We searched biomedical databases for articles that assessed 2 or more categories of 25(OH)D from January 1, 1966, to January 15, 2013. We identified 32 studies and pooled the data. The hazard ratio for all-cause mortality comparing the lowest (0–9 nanograms per milliliter [ng/mL]) to the highest (> 30 ng/mL) category of 25(OH)D was 1.9 (95% confidenc…
A comparative risk assessment of burden of disease and injury attributable to 67 risk factors and risk factor clusters in 21 regions, 1990–2010
Vitamin D, how much is enough and how much is too much
The 2010 recommendations of the American Institute of Medicine for daily intakes of vitamin D Madam Late in 2010 the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommended that adults should have dietary intakes of vitamin D of 15 mg/d (20 mg/d in older adults), based on evidence that these intakes improve bone health (1) . In the UK, the only one of thirty-one European countries to have no daily intake recommendation for vitamin D for adults between 19 and …
Prevalence and correlates of vitamin D status in African American men
The problem of low vitamin D status in African American men may be more severe than previously reported. Future efforts to increase vitamin D recommendations and intake, such as through supplementation, are warranted to improve vitamin D status in this particularly vulnerable population
Diet quality and major chronic disease risk in men and women
A prospective study of social networks in relation to total mortality and cardiovascular disease in men in the USA
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Previous studies have established a relationship between low levels of social networks and total mortality, but few have examined cause specific mortality or disease incidence. This study aimed to examine prospectively the relationships between social networks and total and cause specific mortality, as well as cardiovascular disease incidence. DESIGN: This was a four year follow up study in an ongoing cohort of men, for whom info…
Reproducibility and Validity of an Expanded Self-Administered Semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire among Male Health Professionals
The authors assessed the reproducibility and validity of an expanded 131-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire used in a prospective study among 51,529 men. The form was administered by mail twice to a sample of 127 participants at a one-year interval. During this interval, men completed two one-week diet records spaced approximately 6 months apart. Mean values for intake of most nutrients assessed by the two methods were similar. In…
A long-term study of mortality in men who have undergone vasectomy
Background Vasectomy is a reliable and widely accepted method of contraception, but there is some uncertainty and few data about a possible long-term adverse effect on health. Methods We examined the relation between vasectomy and mortality rates from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and all causes in a retrospective cohort of husbands of members of the Nurses' Health Study. In 1989 we obtained data by questionnaire on 14,607 men who had undergone…
