Longitudinal associations between racial discrimination and hippocampal and white matter hyperintensity volumes among older Black adults
Genetic and Metabolite Variability in One-Carbon Metabolism Applied to an Insulin Resistance Model in Patients With Schizophrenia Receiving Atypical Antipsychotics
Background: Patients with schizophrenia are at high risk of pre-mature mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Our group has completed studies in pharmacogenomics and metabolomics that have independently identified perturbations in one-carbon metabolism as associated with risk factors for CVD in this patient population. Therefore, this study aimed to use genetic and metabolomic data to determine the relationship between folate pharmacogeno…
Dietary Glutamic Acid, Obesity, and Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Schizophrenia
Introduction: Schizophrenia is a lifelong condition associated with several comorbid conditions such as physical illnesses like obesity, as well as co-occurring psychiatric symptoms such as depression. Research regarding susceptibility to some of these comorbidities has primary focused on genetic risks or neurotransmitters and very little work has been done to understand environmental factors such as diet. In particular, understanding the role of…
Longitudinal effects of race, ethnicity, and psychosocial disadvantage on systemic inflammation
Psychosocial factors likely contribute to racial and ethnic inequalities in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). However, precise social, psychological, and physiological pathways linking race and ethnicity to the development of CVDs are not well understood. Systemic inflammation, commonly indexed by C-reactive protein (CRP), is a biomarker for CVD risk and progression. The objective of this study was to identify mediating pathways from race and ethni…
Longitudinal socioemotional pathways between retrospective early life maternal relationship quality and episodic memory in older adulthood
Prior research suggests that social relations may play a role in explaining individual differences in cognitive functioning in older adulthood. In particular, early life maternal relationship quality (MRQ) has been shown to be a strong predictor of later-life socioemotional outcomes and may also contribute to later-life cognitive outcomes. The current study aimed to examine longitudinal associations between retrospective early life MRQ and later-…
Psychosocial Pathways to Racial/Ethnic Inequalities in Late-Life Memory Trajectories
Depression and external locus of control partially mediate racial/ethnic differences in memory trajectories. Perceived discrimination is a major driver of these psychosocial pathways for blacks, but not Hispanics. These results can inform the development of policies and interventions to reduce cognitive morbidity among racially/ethnically diverse older adults
