Prospective associations between the U.S. state minimum wage and cognitive function in older Americans
Objectives: Limited research has explored how social policies influence cognitive function at older ages. This study examined the association between the U.S. state minimum wage and subsequent cognitive function among older American adults. Methods: Using data from the U.S. Health and Retirement Study, we studied non-self-employed workers who were aged 50-75 without dementia at baseline and followed between 1998 and 2020 (N = 7263). We employed f…
Toward New Directions in Human Biology
Human biologists seek to understand how cultural, environmental, and biological forces shape observed patterns of human variation. Yet contemporary insights and approaches to observational causal inference remain underutilized in the field. We outline a structured but flexible roadmap for causal inference in human biology that begins with theory development, defines causal questions and estimands, employs directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to clarify…
Association between county-level risk groups and Covid-19 outcomes in the United States
County-level COVID-19 cases and deaths had substantial disparities with heterogeneous geographic spread across the US. The approach to county-level risk characterization used in this study has the potential to provide novel insights into communicable disease patterns and disparities at the local level
Food security mediates the decrease in women’s depressive symptoms in a participatory nutrition-sensitive agroecology intervention in rural Tanzania
Objective: To investigate if food security mediated the impact of a nutrition-sensitive agroecology intervention on women’s depressive symptoms. Design: We used annual longitudinal data (four time points) from a cluster-randomised effectiveness trial of a participatory nutrition-sensitive agroecology intervention, the Singida Nutrition and Agroecology Project. Structural equation modelling estimation of total, natural direct and natural indirect …
Racial/ethnic minority and neighborhood disadvantage leads to disproportionate mortality burden and years of potential life lost due to Covid-19 in Chicago, Illinois
Neighborhoods and racial/ethnic differences in ideal cardiovascular health (the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis)
Active – Animation for Children to Teach and Influence Values and Views on healthy Eating and physical activity
now that several points might be bettered: again Service setting (60?96 %), booking service (26?03 %), waiting time (15?07 %), even some technical-professional aspects (22?61 %)
