Use of HIV primary care by HIV-positive Haitian immigrants in Miami, Florida
Little is known about the use of HIV primary care among Haitian immigrants in the USA. The present study utilizes data from a survey of HIV-positive Haitians recruited from an HIV primary care clinic in Miami, Florida, to examine barriers and facilitators of regular use of HIV care by this population. Selection of measures was guided by the Andersen Model of Health Services Utilization for Vulnerable Populations. The dependent variable, regular u…
Severity of Concurrent Visual and Hearing Impairment and Mortality
Prevention of severe visual and hearing impairment should be a national public health priority, especially given the aging of the U.S. population
Concurrent Hearing and Visual Impairment and Morbidity in Community-Residing Adults
HI+VI is associated with morbidity, although the strength of these associations varies across subgroups. Findings indicate that an increased focus on the provision of hearing and eye care services is required. Insurance coverage for these services should also be pursued by health policy makers
Prevalence of Concurrent Hearing and Visual Impairment in US Adults
Analysis of data from a nationally representative sample of US adults (n=195801) showed that concurrent hearing and visual impairment prevalence rates were highest for participants older than 79 years of age (16.6%); a 3-fold increase in age-adjusted rates of reported hearing and visual impairment was observed for Native Americans compared with Asian Americans. Research on preventing concurrent hearing and visual impairment and countering its con…
Obesity in US Workers
Objectives. Obesity has emerged as one of the most important public health issues in the United States. We assessed obesity prevalence rates and their trends among major US occupational groups. Methods. Self-reported weight and height were collected annually on US workers, aged 18 years or older, from the 1986 to 1995 and the 1997 to 2002 National Health Interview Surveys. Overall, occupation-, race-, and gender-specific rates of obesity (defined…
Risk of Hospitalization Among Firefighters
This study assessed the risk of hospitalization among firefighters. Data were derived from a nationally representative sample of 235 897 employed men from the National Health Interview Survey. Firefighters aged 30 to 39 years were at significantly increased risk for hospitalization relative to other employed men in the same age group (odds ratio = 1.93; 95% confidence interval=1.21, 3.09). Findings from this study and others support the call for …
Sexual Responsiveness in Women with Spinal Cord Injuries
Sociodemographic Correlates of Visual Acuity Impairment in Hispanic Children and Adolescents
Validación de "infarto de miocardio" como causa de muerte en certificados de defunción, Barquisimeto, Estado Lara, Venezuela
Las tasas de mortalidad por cardiopatía isquémica (CI) han sido utilizadas ampliamente en el diagnóstico de la salud cardiovascular de regiones y países. Sin embargo, su validez ha sido cuestionada fundamentalmente por lo que le da origen: el certificado de defunción (CDD). El presente estudio tiene el objetivo de establecer la validez del diagnóstico "infarto de miocardio (IM)" como causa de muerte en los CDD de muertes intra-hospitalarias en la…
