Silicone Wristbands for Measuring Human Exposure to Organic Chemicals: Uses and Benefits for Human Biological Research
Increasing human exposure to environmental contaminants is a growing concern and has become an important factor within human biological variation and health outcomes. Yet, traditional exposure assessment methods are often limited in their ability to capture the complexity and variation of chemical exposure, or are invasive, costly, and challenging to apply in field-based research. Here, we introduce silicone wristbands as an innovative and noninv…

Teens are vulnerable to food insecurity for both biological and social reasons. This study aimed to better understand the factors that underpin teen food insecurity and the coping strategies teens employ when faced with limited food access and hunger. A sociodemographic survey including the USDA's Self-Administered Food Security Survey Module for Children Ages 12 Years and Older, focus groups, and photovoice were used to collect data on the demog…
Food Insecurity and Age at Menarche in Tampa Bay, Florida
The aim of this study was to assess whether household food insecurity is associated with delayed or early menarche among girls in the United States. Thirty-six dyadic household interviews were conducted with mothers and adolescent girls. The interviews included a socio-demographic survey, the USDA Six-Item Short Form Household Food Security Survey Module, anthropometric measurements, and the self-administered Youth-Adolescent Food Frequency Quest…
Food Insecurity and Health-Related Quality of Life: A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Older Adults in Florida, U.S
Individuals 65 years or older will comprise an estimated 20.0% of the U.S. population by 2030. This study investigated the association between food insecurity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among an older adult population (n = 234). HRQoL was measured using Healthy Days, a validated survey tool developed by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Food-insecure individuals were more likely to report ≥14 physically unhealthy days…
