Postpartum Hospital Readmissions Among Women With Gestational Diabetes and Pregestational Diabetes in the United States, 2016 to 2022
OBJECTIVE: We estimated postpartum hospital readmissions trends among women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), pregestational diabetes mellitus (PDM; i.e., diabetes present before pregnancy), and neither. METHODS: Using the National Readmissions Database, we identified women aged 15-44 years who had a live birth or stillbirth between January 1 and June 30 annually, from 2016 through 2022. Births by diabetes status (GDM, PDM, and no diabete…
Barriers to preventive care among US adults of multiple races eligible for type 2 diabetes screening
Little is known about disparities in access to preventive care among people of multiple races, who are often aggregated into a single category, despite comprising a heterogeneous population. We therefore described the prevalence of barriers to preventive care for type 2 diabetes among US adults, by disaggregated subgroups of multiple races. In a pooled cross-sectional study of adults eligible for type 2 diabetes screening from the Behavioral Risk…
Gestational Diabetes Prevalence Estimates from Three Data Sources, 2018
Understanding the differences between GDM surveillance data systems can help researchers better identify people and places at higher risk of GDM
Racial and economic segregation and diabetes mortality in the USA, 2016–2020
Background The purpose of this study was to examine the association between racial and economic segregation and diabetes mortality among US counties from 2016 to 2020. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional ecological study that combined county-level diabetes mortality data from the National Vital Statistics System and sociodemographic information drawn from the 2016–2020 American Community Survey (n=2380 counties in the USA). Racialized economic…
Prediabetes prevalence and awareness by race, ethnicity, and educational attainment among U.S. adults
Introduction: Racial and ethnic minority groups and individuals with limited educational attainment experience a disproportionate burden of diabetes. Prediabetes represents a high-risk state for developing type 2 diabetes, but most adults with prediabetes are unaware of having the condition. Uncovering whether racial, ethnic, or educational disparities also occur in the prediabetes stage could help inform strategies to support health equity in pr…
Life Course Socioeconomic Position, Allostatic Load, and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes among African America n Adults
Objective: We examined whether life course socioeconomic position (SEP) was associated with incidence of type 2 diabetes (t2DM) among African Americans.Design: Secondary analysis of data from the Jackson Heart Study, 2000-04 to 2012, using Cox proportional hazard regression to estimate hazard ratios (HR) with 95% CI for t2DM incidence by measures of life course SEP.Participants: Sample of 4,012 nondiabetic adults aged 25-84 years at baseline.Outc…
The contribution of subsidized food commodities to total energy intake among US adults
Objective The contribution of subsidized food commodities to total food consumption is unknown. We estimated the proportion of individual energy intake from food commodities receiving the largest subsidies from 1995 to 2010 (corn, soyabeans, wheat, rice, sorghum, dairy and livestock). Design Integrating information from three federal databases (MyPyramid Equivalents, Food Intakes Converted to Retail Commodities, and What We Eat in America) with d…
Survival on Dialysis Among American Indians and Alaska Natives With Diabetes in the United States, 1995–2010
Objectives. We assessed survival in American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) with end-stage renal disease attributed to diabetes who initiated hemodialysis between 1995 and 2009. Methods. Follow-up extended from the first date of dialysis in the United States Renal Data System until December 31, 2010, kidney transplantation, or death. We used the Kaplan-Meier method to compute survival on dialysis by age and race/ethnicity and Cox regression …
The Challenge of Understanding the Mental Health of African Americans
Access to health care and undiagnosed diabetes along the United States-Mexico border
Limited access to health care--especially not having health insurance and/or not having a place to receive routine health services--was significantly associated with undiagnosed diabetes in the U.S.-Mexico border region
Race and ethnic differences in religious involvement
This study examined differences in religious participation and spirituality among African Americans, Caribbean Blacks (Black Caribbeans) and non-Hispanic Whites. Data are taken from the National Survey of American Life, a nationally representative study of African Americans, Black Caribbeans and non-Hispanic Whites. Selected measures of organizational, nonorganizational and subjective religious participation were examined. African American and Ca…
Spirituality and Subjective Religiosity Among African Americans, Caribbean Blacks, and Non-Hispanic Whites
Patterns and correlates of self-perceptions of spirituality and subjective religiosity are examined using data from the National Survey of American Life, a nationally representative study of African Americans, Caribbean blacks, and non-Hispanic whites. Demographic and denominational correlates of patterns of subjective religiosity and spirituality (i.e., religious only, spiritual only, both religious/spiritual, and neither religious/spiritual) ar…
Race, Ethnicity, and the Use of Services for Mental Disorders
CONTEXT: Little is known about differences in the unmet need for mental health service use between African Americans and Caribbean blacks. OBJECTIVE: To extend the National Survey of Black Americans by examining 12-month mental health service use for African Americans and Caribbean blacks from the recently completed National Survey of American Life. DESIGN AND SETTING: National household probability samples of noninstitutionalized African America…
