Early Life Disadvantage and the Risk of Depressive Symptoms among Young Black Women
Life-Course Mobility in Socioeconomic Position and High Depressive Symptoms Among Young Black Women: The Self Study
Life Course Racism and Depressive Symptoms among Young Black Women
Project Earthrise: Proceedings of the Ninth Annual Conference of inVivo Planetary Health
The "Earthrise" photograph, taken on the 1968 Apollo 8 mission, became one of the most significant images of the 20th Century. It triggered a profound shift in environmental awareness and the potential for human unity-inspiring the first Earth Day in 1970. Taking inspiration from these events 50 years later, we initiated Project Earthrise at our 2020 annual conference of in VIVO Planetary Health. This builds on the emergent concept of planetary h…
Social distancing during the Covid-19 pandemic: Quantifying the practice in Michigan – a “hotspot state” early in the pandemic – using a volunteer-based online survey
Michiganders responding to the surveys were both practicing and supportive of social distancing. State-level executive orders positively impacted behaviors early in the COVID-19 pandemic in Michigan. Additional supports are needed to help vulnerable populations practice social distancing, including older individuals
Eighth Annual Conference of inVivo Planetary Health: From Challenges to Opportunities
inVIVO Planetary Health (inVIVO) is a progressive scientific movement providing evidence, advocacy, and inspiration to align the interests and vitality of people, place, and planet. Our goal is to transform personal and planetary health through awareness, attitudes, and actions, and a deeper understanding of how all systems are interconnected and interdependent. Here, we present the abstracts and proceedings of our 8th annual conference, held in …
Dysbiotic drift and biopsychosocial medicine: How the microbiome links personal, public and planetary health
The emerging concept of planetary health emphasizes that the health of human civilization is intricately connected to the health of natural systems within the Earth's biosphere; here, we focus on the rapidly progressing microbiome science - the microbiota-mental health research in particular - as a way to illustrate the pathways by which exposure to biodiversity supports health. Microbiome science is illuminating the ways in which stress, socioec…
Race-Specific Association of Caesarean-Section Delivery with Body Size at Age 2 Years
There is evidence for a race-specific effect of CS on obesity at age 2 years; potential underlying mechanisms may be racial differences in the developing gut microbiome or in epigenetic programming. Future research is needed to determine if this racial difference persists into later childhood
Does Pet-Keeping Modify the Association of Delivery Mode with Offspring Body Size
P2-319 Cord blood vitamin D levels are associated with early life atopic dermatitis
Introduction Vitamin D deficiency (25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D]<50 nmol/l) is epidemic in many regions. Recent evidence indicates a possible association between low vitamin D levels and early life allergic disease. Methods We examined the relationship between cord blood 25(OH)D and atopic dermatitis (AD) in the first 2 years of life in our birth cohort of children born to a predominantly African American population (67.7%) of mothers. Pregnant w…
