Exploring the Impact of Social Connection Dimensions on Cognitive Impairment in Older Adults
This study aimed to identify unique social connection factors associated with cognitive impairment among older adults. Longitudinal data from the 2010 to 2020 Health and Retirement Study were used. Discrete-time survival models were applied to examine the impact of the social factors like loneliness, depression, positive and negative support from family and friends, volunteerism, attending sports or social clubs, charity work, and computer use on…
HPV Vaccine Awareness, Past Behaviors, and Future Intentions Among a Diverse Sample of Fathers Aged 27 to 45 Years
Men aged 27 to 45 are eligible for human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination as of 2019, yet relatively little is known about whether they have received or intend to receive it. We conducted a cross-sectional, online survey among fathers aged 27 to 45 between March and April 2022, to assess associations between HPV vaccination awareness, behaviors, intentions, and psychosocial constructs from the Health Belief Model. We examined the characteristics …
Evaluation of Access to Care Barriers and Their Effect on General Health Status Among Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Adults
A text-mining study on emotional cognition, understanding, and preventative behaviors during the Covid-19 pandemic
Emotions associated with cognition in the context of pandemic infectious diseases have been found to be mixed. Furthermore, it can be seen that feelings vary depending on the degree of understanding of the infectious disease
Relation of incident chronic disease with changes in muscle function, mobility, and self-reported health
The primary objective was to learn the extent that muscle function, mobility, and self-reported health decline following incident diabetes, stroke, lung problem, and heart problems. A secondary objective was to measure subsequent recovery following the incident events. A longitudinal panel study of the natural history of four major chronic diseases using the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative sample of adults over age 50 yea…
Knowledge and Attitudes of Guam Residents towards Cancer Clinical Trial Participation
(1) Background: Currently there are no cancer clinical trials in Guam, where CHamoru people suffer the highest rates of cancer mortality, and interest to do so is growing. This study investigated the knowledge and attitudes of Guam residents towards cancer clinical trial participation prior to implementation. (2) Methods: A telephone survey was developed, tested, and conducted among Guam resident adults, 18 years of age and older. Survey question…

The impact of diabetes and osteoarthritis on the occurrence of stroke, acute myocardial infarction, and heart failure among older adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Hawaii
Variation in cardiovascular disease risks for older adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation in Hawaii exists with diabetes and osteoarthritis status
Describing Independent Eating Occasions among Low-Income Adolescents
The purpose of this formative, cross-sectional study was to describe independent eating occasions (iEOs) among a convenience sample of low-income early adolescents (10-13 years, n = 46) in 10 U.S. states, including environmental context, foods selected and reasons for selection, and parental rules about foods consumed. Participants took pictures of all foods consumed over 24 h and participated in semi-structured interviews to describe the context…
Relation of the Networks Formed by Diabetic Patients Sharing Physicians With Emergency Department Visits and Hospitalizations
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate if the networks of diabetic patients sharing physicians are associated with emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalizations. STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective cohort study. METHODS: We used administrative data from a large insurer in Hawaii in 2010. Three types of networks were defined based on patient visits: (1) the total number of links from one patient to other patients sharing …
Human Papillomavirus-16 DNA Quantitation Differentiates High-Grade Anal Neoplasia
Background: Due to their higher rates of anal dysplasia/cancer, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive individuals are recommended to undergo anal dysplasia screening, which consists of anal cytology (AC) and high resolution anoscopy (HRA) with anal biopsy (AB) after abnormal AC result. However, AC variability limits its usefulness. Our objective was to evaluate human papillomavirus (HPV)-16 DNA quantitation as part of the screening algorith…
Progression of diabetes, ischemic heart disease, and chronic kidney disease in a three chronic conditions multistate model
Survival characteristics of the disease system are influenced by subject-specific effects. Subgroup-specific interventions/screenings should be considered for the optimal prevention and care

Racial-ethnic disparities in self-reported health status among US adults adjusted for sociodemographics and multimorbidities, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2014
Objective: To investigate racial-ethnic disparities in self-reported health status adjusting for sociodemographic factors and multimorbidities. Design: A total of 9499 adult participants aged 20 years and older from the United States (US); reported by the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a cross-sectional survey - for years 2011-2014. The main outcome measure was self-reported health status categorized as excellent/very …
Racial/Ethnic Disparities in the Association Between Preeclampsia Risk Factors and Preeclampsia Among Women Residing in Hawaii
Prevalence of Chronic Conditions and Multimorbidities in a Geographically Defined Geriatric Population With Diverse Races and Ethnicities
Race/ethnicity may need to be considered when making clinical decisions and developing health care programs to reduce health disparities and improve quality of life for older individuals with chronic conditions
Predictors of relationship satisfaction in adoptive mothers
Relationship satisfaction has been widely studied among biological parents; however, concomitant research on adoptive parents is relatively lacking. The current study reports on a survey completed by 251 mothers who had adopted a child in the past 24 months. Participants completed measures of several aspects of the vulnerability-stress-adaptation model of marital satisfaction. Results indicated that satisfaction, as measured by a short form of th…

Modeling Individual Vulnerability to Communicable Diseases
Reports on dangerous communicable diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and H1N1 flu, have repeatedly stressed the importance of individuals in disease transmission. Still in its infancy, individual-based modeling faces many challenges. From the perspective of modeling approaches, this article explores (1) the framework of a three-population (daytime, nighttime, and pastime population) and two-scale (local and societal scale)…
