Mean Levels and Variability in Affect, Diabetes Self-Care Behaviors, and Continuously Monitored Glucose
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated between- and within-person associations among mean levels and variability in affect, diabetes self-care behaviors, and continuously monitored glucose in Latinos with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Fifty participants (M [SD] age = 57.8 [11.7] years, 74% women, mean [SD] glycosylated hemoglobin A1c = 8.3% [1.5%]) wore a "blinded" continuous glucose monitor for 7 days, and they responded to twice daily automated phone s…
Behavioral reactivity to acute stress among Black and White women with type 2 diabetes
This study investigated relationships of income and self-reported racial discrimination to diabetes health behaviors following an acute stressor. A total of 77 diabetic women (51% Black, 49% White) completed a laboratory public speaking stressor. That evening, participants reported same-day eating, alcohol consumption, and medication adherence; physical activity was measured with actigraphy, and the next morning participants reported sleep qualit…
Nutrient and food intakes differ among Latina subgroups during pregnancy
Objective To document nutrient and food group serving intakes from food sources among Latina subgroups living in the same geographical area. Design A cross-sectional study. Nutrient and food group serving intakes were assessed by means of a 24 h recall administered immediately after a prenatal survey. Setting Hartford, CT, USA. Subjects A total of 233 low-income pregnant Latinas. For analyses, Latinas were classified into two groups on the basis …
Household food insecurity is associated with depressive symptoms among low-income pregnant Latinas
Latinas experience high rates of poverty, household food insecurity and prenatal depression. To date, only one USA study has examined the relationship between household food insecurity and prenatal depression, yet it focused primarily on non-Latina white and non-Latina black populations. Therefore, this study examined the independent association of household food insecurity with depressive symptoms among low-income pregnant Latinas. This cross-se…
Egg Contribution Towards the Diet of Pregnant Latinas
Proper nutrition during gestation is important to prevent adverse pregnancy outcomes. Eggs contain many important nutrients necessary for fetal development and human survival. Three focus groups were conducted with Latina women living in Connecticut to identify cultural beliefs toward egg consumption during pregnancy, traditional egg dishes, and methods of preparation. A cross-sectional study was then carried out with a sample of predominately Pu…
Translating Knowledge into Practice
The Puerto Rican/Latino community in Hartford, Connecticut suffers disproportionately from a wide variety of nutrition-related problems, including food insecurity, insufficient consumption of fruits and vegetables, high rates of obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases, and low breastfeeding rates. The Hispanic Health Council (HHC) has since its inception worked to address these problems, and has developed a highly effective model that integr…
