Prevalence of Diabetes by Race and Ethnicity in the United States, 2011-2016
Importance: The prevalence of diabetes among Hispanic and Asian American subpopulations in the United States is unknown. Objective: To estimate racial/ethnic differences in the prevalence of diabetes among US adults 20 years or older by major race/ethnicity groups and selected Hispanic and non-Hispanic Asian subpopulations. Design, Setting, and Participants: National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys, 2011-2016, cross-sectional samples rep…
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…
The 2D: 4D digit ratio is not a useful marker for prenatal famine exposure: Evidence from the Dutch hunger winter families study
Objectives: Digit lengths, and in particular the ratio of the 2nd (2D) to 4th (4D) digit (2D:4D), are stable in adulthood and have been linked to characteristics thought to have developmental origins, but little research has focused on early life determinants of these measures. We examined whether exposure to acute famine during specific periods of gestation was associated with 2D, 4D or the 2D:4D ratio. Methods: We studied men and women (1) born…
A fingerprint characteristic associated with the early prenatal environment
Fingerprints and fingertip ridge counts (RCs) have a significant genetic component. However, they also reflect the nongenetic environment of early pregnancy, an important time window for tissue differentiation and organogenesis. Fingerprints are permanently configured before the 20th week of gestation, and each fingertip's RC is related to the growth and regression of its early fetal volar pads. Rostral and caudal aspects of the embryonic limb bu…

Stable behaviors associated with adults' 10-year change in body mass index and likelihood of gain at the waist
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to identify behaviors associated with change in body mass index or with weight gain at the waist. METHODS: A cohort of 79236 White, non-Hispanic, healthy adults was questioned in 1982 and 1992 about diet and 10 physical activities. Estimates were made of the mean effects of stable behaviors on 10-year change in body mass index and on odds ratios for gain at the waist. RESULTS: Ten-year changes in body mas…
Precision of recumbent anthropometry
In some studies recumbent anthropometric measures are more appropriate than standing measures. There is little published information, however, on the precision of recumbent measures. To estimate the interobserver precision of recumbent anthropometry, 22 men and 29 women volunteers 35–64 years of age were each measured on the same day by four trained nurses previously inexperienced in anthropometry. Fourteen recumbent measurements were taken, incl…
Race and weight change in US women: The roles of socioeconomic and marital status
BACKGROUND. The prevalence of overweight among Black women in the US is higher than among White women, but the causes are unknown. METHODS. We examined the weight change for 514 Black and 2,770 White women who entered the first Health and Nutrtion Examination Survey (1971-75) at ages 25-44 years and were weighed again a decade later. We used multivariate analyses to estimate the weight-change effectgs associated with race, family income, educatio…
IUD Insertion Practices in the United States and Puerto Rico, 1973
Retrospective reports on IUD insertions during the first 6 months of 1973 were provided by 16893 physicians residing in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. This was 48.9% of the physicians listed in the master files of the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association as having an interest in obstetrics and gynecology public health general preventive medicine or family practice. Information elicited by interviews with 1% of the nonr…
