  • Past-Year Racial Discrimination and Allostatic Load Among Indigenous Adults in Canada

    Open AccessCheryl L Currie, Jennifer L Copeland et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine2020

    OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to examine the association between racial discrimination and allostatic load (AL) and whether this association was moderated by cultural continuity among Indigenous adults. METHODS: Data were collected from Indigenous adults attending university in a small city in western Canada between 2015 and 2017 (mean age = 27.8 years). The Experience of Discrimination Situation Score and the Vancouver Index Enculturation Subscale…

  • Reducing Sedentary Time among Older Adults in Assisted Living

    Open AccessM L Voss, J Paige Pope et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2020

    Older adults accumulate more sedentary time (ST) than any other age group, especially those in assisted living residences (ALRs). Reducing prolonged ST could help maintain function among older adults. However, to develop effective intervention strategies, it is important to understand the factors that influence sedentary behavior. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of ST as well as barriers and motivators to reducing ST among ol…

  • The Impact of Racially Motivated Housing Discrimination on Allostatic Load among Indigenous University Students

    Open AccessCheryl L Currie, Takara Motz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Urban Health2020Cited by: 2References: 11

    Allostatic load (AL) is an aggregate measure of wear and tear on the body due to the chronic activation of the stress response system. The goal of this study was to examine the association between racially motivated housing discrimination (HD) and AL score within a sample of Indigenous university students. Data for this cross-sectional study were collected from Indigenous adults attending university in a small city in western Canada between 2015 …

  • Trauma-informed interventions versus control for cancer-risk behaviours among adults

    Open AccessCheryl L Currie, Jennifer L Copeland et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2019

    This trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov ISRCTN15583681 on 22 August 2019 (retrospectively registered)

  • Childhood racial discrimination and adult allostatic load

    Open AccessCheryl L Currie, Jennifer L Copeland et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2019Cited by: 10References: 50

    Childhood racial discrimination may have a biological toll on adult health through altered activation of the stress response system which could, over time, exacerbate health inequities in this population. High Indigenous cultural continuity served as a resilience factor that buffered the adverse impacts of childhood discrimination on adult AL score

  • The biological impacts of Indigenous residential school attendance on the next generation

    Open AccessKat Chief Moon-Riley, Jennifer L Copeland et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2018

    We investigated the biological impacts of Indigenous residential school attendance on the adult children of survivors, operationalized through allostatic load (AL); and the extent to which intergenerational trauma, operationalized through adverse childhood experience (ACE) score, mediated this association. Data were collected in-person from a university-based sample of Indigenous adults ( N = 90, mean age: 28 years) in a mid-sized city in western…

  • The relationship between sedentary behaviour and physical literacy in Canadian children

    Open AccessTravis J Saunders, Dany J Macdonald et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    These results highlight differences in the ways that screen and non-screen sedentary behaviours relate to physical literacy. Public health interventions should continue to target screen-based sedentary behaviours, given their potentially harmful associations with important aspects of physical literacy

  • A cross-sectional study exploring the relationship between age, gender, and physical measures with adequacy in and predilection for physical activity

    Open AccessDany J Macdonald, Travis J Saunders et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    Results indicate an association between cardiorespiratory fitness and measures of physical activity adequacy and predilection. These findings suggest that practitioners should consider the physiological and psychological makeup of the child, and ways to enhance adequacy and predilection among children with limited cardiorespiratory fitness, in order to create the best possible environment for all children to participate in physical activity

  • Movement behaviours are associated with lung function in middle-aged and older adults

    Open AccessShilpa Dogra, Joshua Good et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    This is the first study to assess the association of different movement behaviours with lung function among middle-aged and older adults without a respiratory disease. These findings indicate that movement behaviours are correlates of lung function, and that they may be modifiable determinants of the age-associated decline in lung function

  • The relationship between physical literacy scores and adherence to Canadian physical activity and sedentary behaviour guidelines

    Open AccessKevin Belanger, Joel D Barnes et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    These cross-sectional findings demonstrate important associations between physical literacy and guideline adherence for physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Future research should explore the causality of these associations

  • Physical literacy levels of Canadian children aged 8–12 years

    Open AccessMark S Tremblay, Patricia E Longmuir et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    These results provide the largest and most comprehensive assessment of physical literacy of Canadian children to date, providing a "state of the nation" baseline, and can be used to monitor changes and inform intervention strategies going forward

  • Cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with physical literacy in a large sample of Canadian children aged 8 to 12 years

    Open AccessJustin J Lang, Jean‐philippe Chaput et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2018

    This study identified strong favourable associations between CRF and physical literacy and its constituent components in children aged 8-12 years. Future research should investigate the sensitivity and specificity of the 20mSRT in screening those with low physical literacy levels

  • Community Belonging and Sedentary Behaviour Among Métis Canadians

    Open AccessScott Anderson, Jennifer L Copeland et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017

    Study Purpose: Framed by intersectionality theory, this study examined how gender and sense of community belonging interact to influence sedentary behaviour during leisure among Métis adults in Canada. Methods: Data were obtained from 1,169 Métis adults who completed the Canadian Community Health Survey in 2012. Weighted linear regression models examined associations between sedentary behaviour and community belonging stratified by gender, adjust…
