Walking Engagement in Mexican Americans Who Participated in a Community-Wide Step Challenge in El Paso, TX
In the United States, the Latinx population has the highest prevalence of physical inactivity compared with other ethnicities. Research shows that work-based physical activity interventions have been widely implemented in the non-Latinx population and effectively increase physical activity in the non-Latinx population. In an effort to improve physical activity and reduce obesity among the Latinx population, we conducted 10,000 Steps for 100 Days,…
Using Electronic Medical Record Data to Better Understand Obesity in Hispanic Neighborhoods in El Paso, Texas
The prevalence of obesity has been persistent amongst Hispanics over the last 20 years. Socioeconomic inequities have led to delayed diagnosis and treatment of chronic medical conditions related to obesity. Factors contributing include lack of insurance and insufficient health education. It is well-documented that obesity amongst Hispanics is higher in comparison to non-Hispanics, but it is not well-understood how the socioeconomic context along …
Análisis de Isótopos estables en restos óseos humanos y de fauna en los sitios arqueológicos del Holoceno temprano y medio Tequendama y Aguazuque (sabana de Bogotá, Colombia)
Algunos estudios arqueológicos sobre los procesos de cambio social de las sociedades que existieron durante el Holoceno temprano y medio en Colombia han tenido lugar en la Sabana de Bogotá (Colombia). La investigación llevada a cabo por G. Correal y T. van der Hammen en los sitios arqueológicos de Tequendama y Aguazuque son ejemplos relevantes. Estos autores recopilaron información importante de artefactos líticos, restos de plantas, alfarería y …
Physical Activity in Older Mexican Americans Living in Two Cities on the U.S.-Mexico Border
Level of physical activity may differ in older Hispanics by urban context on the U.S.-Mexico border. Future physical activity programs to promote physical activity should take context into consideration
Rural‐Urban Differences in Health Services Utilization in the US‐Mexico Border Region
Purpose: Evaluate the association between driving distance to the US‐Mexico border and rural‐urban differences in the use of health services in Mexico by US border residents from Texas. Methods: Data for this study come from the Cross‐Border Utilization of Health Care Survey, a population‐based telephone survey conducted in the Texas border region in spring 2008. Driving distances to the border were estimated from the nearest border crossing stat…
Biomarkers of Maternal and Fetal Exposure to Organochlorine Pesticides Measured in Pregnant Hispanic Women from Brownsville, Texas
Biomarkers of organochlorine pesticides were measured in both venous and umbilical cord blood from 35 pregnant Hispanic women living in Brownsville, Texas, USA. Gas chromatography with an electron capture detector was used to analyze specimens for 30 individual pesticides or their metabolites. Results indicate that blood concentrations were relatively low for most individual compounds, but that high-end (upper 10th percentile) values for total DD…
Results of the Heart Healthy and Ethnically Relevant Lifestyle Trial: A Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Intervention for African American Women Attending Community Health Centers
Objectives. We evaluated a theory-based lifestyle intervention targeting physical activity and dietary fat intake among African American women at high risk for cardiovascular disease. Methods. The Heart Healthy and Ethnically Relevant Lifestyle trial (2005–2008) randomly assigned 266 low-income African American women aged 35 years and older who were patients of South Carolina community health care centers into comprehensive or standard care inter…
