Black Men’s Prostate Cancer Knowledge, Attitudes, Beliefs, and Access to Health Information
Disparities in prostate cancer incidence and mortality among Black men exist in Suffolk County, New York, indicating a need to provide effective educational interventions about prostate cancer screening for this population. We conducted a mixed-methods study exploring Black men’s knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs about prostate cancer, and how they access health information. Three semi-structured virtual focus groups were conducted by Black male …
Unraveling the complexities of early-onset colorectal cancer: A perspective on dietary and microbial influences
While advances in screening have resulted in declining rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) among adults ≥50 years of age since the mid-2000s, the incidence of early-onset CRC (EOCRC) has steadily increased over the last decade. This increase is not fully accounted for by hereditary factors, and the hypothesis that a sedentary lifestyle and obesity are the primary culprits is not fully supported by recent reports indicating that many affected individ…
Associations between age of menarche and genetic variation in women of African descent: Genome-wide association study and polygenic score analysis
INTRODUCTION: Many diseases of adulthood are associated with a woman's age at menarche. Genetic variation affects age at menarche, but it remains unclear whether in women of African ancestry the timing of menarche is regulated by genetic variants that were identified in predominantly European and East Asian populations. METHODS: We explored the genetic architecture of age at menarche in 3145 women of African ancestry who live in the USA, Barbados…
Fundamental causes of accelerated declines in colorectal cancer mortality: Modeling multiple ways that disadvantage influences mortality risk
Distribution of Duffy Antigen Receptor for Chemokines (Darc) and Risk of Prostate Cancer in Barbados, West Indies
Family History of Prostate Cancer in a Black Population
Factors Influencing Prostate Cancer Healthcare Practices in Barbados, West Indies
Validation of a quantitative FFQ for the Barbados National Cancer Study
Objective To assess the validity of a 148-item quantitative FFQ (QFFQ) that was developed for the Barbados National Cancer Study (BNCS) to determine dietary intake over 12 months and examine the dietary risk factors. Design A cross-sectional validation study of the QFFQ against 4 d food diaries. Spearman’s rank correlations ( ρ ), intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC) and weighted κ were computed as measures of concordance, adjusting for dai…
Causes of visual loss and their risk factors: An incidence summary from the Barbados Eye Studies
Incidence of visual impairment was high and significantly affected quality of life. Age-related cataract and OAG caused ~ 75% of blindness, indicating the need for public health action to increase appropriate cataract surgery and early OAG detection and treatment. Controlling DM and hypertension would help prevent DR-related complications and could lower cataract risk, further decreasing visual loss
