Epigenome
Understanding differential disease susceptibility requires new tools to quantify the cumulative effects of environmental stress. Evidence suggests that social, physical, and chemical stressors can influence disease through the accumulation of epigenetic modifications. Geographically stable epigenetic alterations could identify plausible mechanisms for health disparities among the disadvantaged and poor. Relations between neighborhood-specific epi…
Finding Synergy
Although researchers acknowledge that health disparities have multiple determinants, most recommendations for reducing inequities focus on a single approach. We suggest integrating 2 approaches for reducing disparities: improving access to primary care and updating and more vigorously enforcing consumer and environmental protection laws. This strategy could reduce the main causes of disparities, such as chronic diseases and injuries; win public a…
To Reduce Urban Disparities in Health, Strengthen and Enforce Equitably Environmental and Consumer Laws
Impact of Environmental Justice Investments
The author introduces articles in this supplement concerning a government summit on environmental justice co-sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Gene-Environment Interactions in the Development of Complex Disease Phenotypes
The lack of knowledge about the earliest events in disease development is due to the multi-factorial nature of disease risk. This information gap is the consequence of the lack of appreciation for the fact that most diseases arise from the complex interactions between genes and the environment as a function of the age or stage of development of the individual. Whether an environmental exposure causes illness or not is dependent on the efficiency …
The Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome Among US Women of Childbearing Age
Objectives. We sought to determine whether the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among US women of childbearing age (18–44 years) has increased since 1988 and to estimate its current prevalence by race/ethnicity and risk that a maternal history of select metabolic syndrome characteristics imposes on offspring. Methods. We used survey-specific data analysis methods to examine data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys conducted…
A Bold New Direction for Environmental Health Research
The biotechnology revolution has opened new opportunities for addressing current inadequacies in decision making regarding environmental health. Strategic investments need to be made (1) to develop high-throughput technologies that could accelerate toxicity testing and generate a mechanistic understanding of toxicity, (2) to incorporate individual susceptibility into risk assessments, and (3) to establish a rational basis for testing and regulato…
