Spirituality, quality of life and frailty in community-dwelling adults ≥ 50 years
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Women’s Life Event Exposure Across Midlife
Racial/ethnic differences in exposure to life events across midlife may contribute to racial/ethnic health disparities in later life
Child maltreatment as a social determinant of midlife health-related quality of life in women
Everyday Discrimination Prospectively Predicts Blood Pressure Across 10 Years in Racially/Ethnically Diverse Midlife Women
The current findings suggest that everyday discrimination may contribute to elevated BP over time in U.S. women, in part, through increased adiposity. These findings demonstrate the complexity of the linkage of discrimination to CVD risk and raise the need to closely examine biobehavioral pathways that may serve as potential mediators
Everyday Discrimination and Metabolic Syndrome Incidence in a Racially/Ethnically Diverse Sample
Everyday discrimination contributes to poorer metabolic health in midlife women in the United States. These findings have clinical implications for the development of MetS and, ultimately, cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and intervention strategies to reduce these outcomes
Childhood Socioeconomic Circumstances, Inflammation, and Hemostasis Among Midlife Women
BACKGROUND: Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is related to risk for cardiovascular disease in adulthood, perhaps, in part, due to associations with inflammatory and hemostasis processes. We tested the hypotheses that childhood SES is related to C-reactive protein (CRP), fibrinogen, factor VIIc, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) in midlife women and that the associations are mediated by adult SES and/or adult body mass index (BMI).…
Life-Course Socioeconomic Status and Metabolic Syndrome Among Midlife Women
Childhood and adult SES predict women's risks of MetS as they approach the menopause transition; adult SES is primarily important afterwards
Everyday Discrimination Prospectively Predicts Inflammation across 7‐Years in Racially Diverse Midlife Women
Self-reported discrimination has emerged as a predictor of negative psychological and physical health outcomes across racial/ethnic groups. The goals of this study were to determine whether C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of inflammation and risk factor for future cardiovascular disease (CVD) was independently predicted by everyday discrimination or whether race or body mass index (BMI) modified this association over a 7-year period among 2,49…
Chronic exposure to everyday discrimination and sleep in a multiethnic sample of middle-aged women
Experiences of chronic everyday discrimination are independently associated with both subjective and objective indices of poor sleep. Findings add to the growing literature linking discrimination to key markers of biobehavioral health
Childhood Abuse Is Associated With Adiposity in Midlife Women
Objective: To examine the association between childhood abuse/neglect and central adiposity and obesity in a sample of 311 women (n = 106 black, 205 white) from the Pittsburgh site of the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). Methods: SWAN included a baseline measurement of women in midlife (mean age = 45.7 years) and eight follow-up visits during which waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) were measured. The Childhood Tr…
Recurrent Major Depression Predicts Progression of Coronary Calcification in Healthy Women
Objective: To test the hypothesis that African American and white women with recurrent major depression would show greater progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) than would women with a single episode or no episode of major depression. Depressive symptoms and major depression are risk factors for clinical coronary heart disease (CHD) among CHD patients and among healthy individuals. It is less clear whether depression is related to th…
Physical functioning among mid-life women
Interactive Effects of Race and Depressive Symptoms on Calcification in African American and White Women
OBJECTIVE: To examine the cross-sectional associations among race, depressive symptoms, and aortic and coronary calcification in a sample of middle-aged women. Depressive symptoms have been associated with atherosclerotic indicators of coronary heart disease (CHD) in white women. Few studies have examined these associations in samples including African American women, or explored whether any observed associations differ by race. METHODS: Particip…
Lifetime History of Major Depression Predicts the Development of the Metabolic Syndrome in Middle-Aged Women
Objective: To prospectively examine the association of major depression with incidence of the metabolic syndrome in women. Methods: Data were drawn from one of seven sites of the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN), a prospective cohort study of the menopausal transition. Participants were 429 (34.5% African-American) women. Major depression and comorbid diagnoses were assessed via the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic…
Associations Between Depressive Symptoms and Inflammatory/Hemostatic Markers in Women During the Menopausal Transition
Objective: To test whether depressive symptoms are related to inflammatory and hemostatic markers in women approaching menopause. Methods: A total of 3292 women enrolled in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) were followed for five years and had measures of Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression and high sensitivity C-reactive protein, Factor VIIc, fibrinogen, plasminogen activator inhibitor Type 1(PAI-1), and tissue-type pl…
Longitudinal Analysis of the Association Between Vasomotor Symptoms and Race/Ethnicity Across the Menopausal Transition
Objectives. We investigated whether vasomotor symptom reporting or patterns of change in symptom reporting over the perimenopausal transition among women enrolled in a national study differed according to race/ethnicity. We also sought to determine whether racial/ethnic differences were explained by sociodemographic, health, or lifestyle factors. Methods. We followed 3198 women enrolled in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation during 1996…
Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Prevalence of Depressive Symptoms Among Middle-Aged Women
Objectives. We examined racial/ethnic differences in significant depressive symptoms among middle-aged women before and after adjustment for socioeconomic, health-related, and psychosocial characteristics. Methods. Racial/ethnic differences in unadjusted and adjusted prevalence of significant depressive symptoms (score ≥ 16 on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression [CES-D] Scale) were assessed with univariate and multiple logistic regres…
Lifetime Depression History and Sexual Function in Women at Midlife
Chronic stress burden, discrimination, and subclinical carotid artery disease in African American and Caucasian women.
This study examined the association between a composite index of stress that included measures of life events, ongoing stress, discrimination, and economic hardship and subclinical carotid disease among 109 African America and 225 Caucasian premenopausal women. African Americans reported more chronic stress and had higher carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) as compared with Caucasians. Among African Americans only, the composite stress index and…
Health-Related Quality of Life in a Multiethnic Sample of Middle-Aged Women
BACKGROUND: Relatively little is known about the association between menopause and health-related quality of life (HRQL) across ethnic groups. OBJECTIVES: To examine the association between HRQL and early perimenopause and ethnicity, adjusting for health, lifestyle, psychosocial, and sociodemographic factors. RESEARCH DESIGN: Questionnaires were administered to pre- and early perimenopausal women. SUBJECTS: We studied a cohort of 3302 black, Chin…
Psychologic Distress and Natural Menopause
Objectives. This study examined the association between psychologic distress and natural menopause in a community sample of African American, White, Chinese, Hispanic, and Japanese women participating in a national women's health study. Methods. A cohort of 16 065 women aged 40 to 55 years provided information on menstrual regularity in the previous year, psychosocial factors, health, and somatic–psychologic symptoms. Psychologic distress was def…
Is there a menopausal syndrome? Menopausal status and symptoms across racial/ethnic groups
A "feminine" model of vulnerability to depressive symptoms
The authors hypothesized that having traits associated with the female gender role is related to psychological distress in women. Specifically, they investigated the effect of low instrumentality and high expressivity, private self-consciousness, and anger-in on depressive symptoms measured 3 years later in 460 middle-aged women during the menopausal transition and times of stress. Multivariate analyses showed that after adjustment for depressive…
Employment status and depressive symptoms in middle-aged women
OBJECTIVES. This study investigated the psychological effects of paid employment and nonemployment, cross-sectionally and longitudinally, in 541 middle-aged women. METHODS. Women were seen for an extensive baseline evaluation and were reevaluated in an identical manner 3 years later. They were divided into four "synthetic" cohorts, based upon employment status at these two assessments. RESULTS. At baseline, nonemployed women reported higher level…
