Cumulative psychosocial factors are associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors and management among African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study
Cumulative psychosocial factors were associated with CVD risk factors and disease management among African Americans. The joint accumulation of psychosocial factors was more associated with risk factors for men than women
The relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation and telomere length
Socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods have been associated with poor health outcomes. Little is known about the biological mechanism by which deprived neighborhood conditions exert negative influences on health. Data from the 1999-2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) were used to assess the relationship between neighborhood deprivation index (NDI) and log-transformed leukocyte telomere length (LTL) via multileve…
The Epidemiology of Coping in African American Adults in the Jackson Heart Study (JHS)
Race-specific associations between health-related quality of life and cellular aging among adults in the United States
Although longitudinal studies are needed to prove causality, our findings suggest that HRQOL could be associated with LTL shortening. We also found a possible racial difference in this association and recommend additional multiethnic studies to confirm this and to understand the reasons and consequences of this difference
Association of adiponectin and socioeconomic status in African American men and women
Findings suggest a potential inverse biologic pathway between annual household income and adiponectin among African American men. There was no such finding among women. Findings suggest interventions should be targeted for higher SES African American men to improve adiponectin levels
Neighborhood social and physical environments and type 2 diabetes mellitus in African Americans
Using data from Jackson Heart Study, we investigated the associations of neighborhood social and physical environments with prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in African Americans (AA). Among non-diabetic participants at baseline (n=3670), 521 (14.2%) developed T2DM during a median follow-up of 7.3 years. Measures of neighborhood social environments, and food and physical activity resources were derived using survey-and G…
Perceived discrimination is associated with health behaviours among African-Americans in the Jackson Heart Study
Higher levels of perceived discrimination were associated with select health behaviours among men and women. Health behaviours offer a potential mechanism through which perceived discrimination affects health in AA
Exploring racial disparities in CHD mortality between blacks and whites across the United States
Social Patterning of Cumulative Biological Risk by Education and Income Among African Americans
Objectives. We examined the social patterning of cumulative dysregulation of multiple systems, or allostatic load, among African Americans adults. Methods. We examined the cross-sectional associations of socioeconomic status (SES) with summary indices of allostatic load and neuroendocrine, metabolic, autonomic, and immune function components in 4048 Jackson Heart Study participants. Results. Lower education and income were associated with higher …
Perceived Discrimination and Hypertension Among African Americans in the Jackson Heart Study
Further understanding the role of perceived discrimination in the etiology of hypertension may be beneficial in eliminating hypertension disparities
The contribution of stress to the social patterning of clinical and subclinical CVD risk factors in African Americans
