  • Mapping Abundance for a Planetary Future

    Joy Miller, J Philip MillerARTICLEJournal of American Ethnic History2025

  • Maternal prenatal social disadvantage and neonatal functional connectivity

    Open AccessMax P Herzberg, Ashley N Nielsen et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2024

    Recent research has reported effects of socioeconomic status on neurobehavioral development as early as infancy, including positive associations between income and brain structure, functional connectivity, and behavior later in childhood (Ramphal, Whalen, et al., 2020; Triplett et al., 2022). This study extends this literature by investigating the relation of maternal prenatal social disadvantage (PSD) to neonatal amygdala and hippocampus functio…

  • Alcohol Prevention in Urgent and Emergency Care (Apuec)

    Open AccessHarry Blake, Emma J Adams et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Excessive alcohol consumption carries a significant health, social and economic burden. Screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment (SBIRT) is one approach to identifying patients with excessive alcohol consumption and providing interventions to help them reduce their drinking. However, healthcare workers in urgent and emergency care settings do not routinely integrate SBIRT into clinical practice and raise a lack of training as a bar…

    A Nature-Based Approach to EducationThe ancient Chinese philosophy of Taoism contains profound wisdom about the cosmos, nature, human life, and education.Taoism seeks to be in harmony with nature, and using it as a guide can help us live in a way that is healing to both ourselves and the planet.Taoism, Teaching, and Learning identifies key aspects of Taoist thought and highlights how these principles can promote a holistic approach to teaching an…

  • Differential Sphingosine-1-Phosphate Receptor-1 Protein Expression in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Between Schizophrenia Type 1 and Type 2

    Open AccessGanesh B Chand, Hao Jiang et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Understanding the etiology and treatment approaches in schizophrenia is challenged in part by the heterogeneity of this disorder. One encouraging progress is the growing evidence that there are subtypes of schizophrenia. Recent in vitro findings of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) gene expression on postmortem dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) showed that schizophrenia has two subtypes, those with a relatively normal DLPFC transcriptome (Ty…

  • Observer ratings of neighborhoods

    Open AccessElena M Andresen, Theodore K Malmstrom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2013

    Enhanced field protocols and rater training did not improve measurement quality. Specifically, retest reliability and interviewer variability remained problematic. Measurement error partially reduced, but did not eliminate concurrent validity, suggesting there are robust associations between neighborhood characteristics and health outcomes. We conclude that the 5-item AAH NAS has sufficient reliability and validity for further use. Additional res…

  • Association Between Childhood School Segregation and Changes in Adult Sense of Control in the African American Health Cohort

    Fredric D Wolinsky, Theodore K Malmstrom et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2013Citada por: 1Referencias: 6

    AAH participants receiving the majority of their primary and secondary educations in segregated schools appeared to have been protected, in part, from age-related declines in the sense of control

  • Childhood school segregation and later life sense of control and physical performance in the African American Health cohort

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, Elena M Andresen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2012

    Childhood school desegregation was adversely associated with the sense of control of African Americans in later life, and this reduced sense of control appears, in part, to account for their poorer physical performance. The etiologic mechanism through which childhood school segregation at the time that this cohort experienced it improved the sense of control in later life, which subsequently led to better physical performance, has not been identi…

  • Neighborhood conditions, diabetes, and risk of lower-body functional limitations among middle-aged African Americans

    Open AccessMario Schootman, Elena M Andresen et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2010

    Adverse neighborhood conditions appear to exacerbate the detrimental effects on lower-body functioning associated with diabetes

  • Predictors of Change in Grip Strength Over 3 Years in the African American Health Project

    Open AccessDouglas K Miller, Theodore K Malmstrom et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2010Citada por: 1Referencias: 4

    Results can be used to design interventions to improve strength outcomes

  • Three-Year Measured Weight Change in the African American Health Study

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, Elena M Andresen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2009Referencias: 2

    Objective: This study examines 3-year weight change in African Americans. Method: Nine hundred and ninety-eight participants 49 to 65 years old were assessed at baseline and 3 years later. Weight was measured, and weight change was defined as clinically meaningful increases or decreases (± 5 kg). Potential risk factors were investigated using multinomial logistic regression. Results: In-home measured weights were available for 752 participants (7…

  • Antecedents of Global Decline in Health-Related Quality of Life Among Middle-Aged African Americans

    Fredric D Wolinsky, Theodore K Malmstrom et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2009Referencias: 4

    Although these risk factors are for the most part nonmalleable, they can serve as markers of impending global HRQoL declines among late-middle-aged African Americans

  • Rating neighborhoods for older adult health

    Open AccessElena M Andresen, Theodore K Malmstrom et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2008

    Observer ratings show promise in understanding the effect of neighborhood on health outcomes. The AAH Neighborhood Assessment Scale and other rating systems should be tested further in diverse settings

  • Self-Rated Health

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, Thomas R Miller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2007Citada por: 8Referencias: 7

    The decline in SRH levels among 49- to 65-year-old African Americans is comparable to that of Whites

  • Neighbourhood environment and the incidence of depressive symptoms among middle-aged African Americans

    Mario Schootman, E M Andresen et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2007Citada por: 2Referencias: 38

    Aim: To investigate the association between attributes of subject location and incidence of clinically relevant levels of depressive symptoms (CRLDS), and to investigate whether an association remained after adjusting for individual-level factors using data from the population-based African American Health Study. Methods: An 11-item depression scale (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale) was obtained at baseline and 3 years later thr…

  • Test-Retest Reliability of Subclinical Status for Functional Limitation and Disability

    Douglas K Miller, E M Andresen et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2006Citada por: 2Referencias: 1

    Excellent test-retest reproducibility was demonstrated in this population-based sample of late middle-aged African Americans using Fried's method of measuring subclinical status

  • The AD8

    Open AccessJames E Galvin, Catherine M Roe et al.ARTICLENeurology2005

    BACKGROUND: Brief measures that accurately discriminate normal cognitive aging from very mild dementia are lacking. Cognitive tests often are insensitive to very mild dementia. Informant-based measures may be more sensitive in detecting early dementia. OBJECTIVE: To identify informant-reported clinical variables that differentiate cognitively normal individuals from those with very mild dementia. METHODS: A 55-item battery of informant queries re…

  • Reproducibility of Physical Performance and Physiologic Assessments

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, Douglas K Miller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2005Citada por: 3Referencias: 3

    Additional interviewer training may improve the reproducibility of the tandem stand with eyes open

  • Further Evidence for the Importance of Subclinical Functional Limitation and Subclinical Disability Assessment in Gerontology and Geriatrics

    Fredric D Wolinsky, Douglas K Miller et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2005Citada por: 2Referencias: 1

    The subclinical status measures were the main predictors of the onset of difficulty in all tasks and functions 1-2 years later. Interventions to reduce frailty should focus on self-reported subclinical status as an early warning system

  • Health-Related Quality of Life in Middle-Aged African Americans

    Open AccessFredric D Wolinsky, D K Miller et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2004Citada por: 9Referencias: 7

    The SF-36 is a reliable and valid measure of HRQoL for use with African Americans. In this sample, the HRQoL was below national averages. Future social epidemiologic studies should include grip strength, vision, and hearing assessments, which had substantial and consistent associations with the SF-36 scale scores

  • Post-Apocalyptic Hoping

    Jim Miller, J Philip MillerARTICLEScience Fiction Studies1998

    In this essay I argue that Octavia Butler’s work provides fine examples of what Tom Moylan has called the “critical dystopia, ” a narrative which points to the socio-historic causes of the dystopian elements of our culture rather than one which merely reveals symptoms. Butler works through the dystopian elements of the culture and then seeks to create new myths for the postmodern age. She does not offer a full-blown utopian “blueprint” in her wor…

  • Uncertainty About the Persistence of Economic Shocks

    John P Miller, J Philip Miller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business and Economic…1995

    The behavior of time series of economic output has been characterized in terms of the persistence of shocks. For a series generated by an autoregressive integrated moving average model, persistence is a function of the model parameters. We demonstrate that a careful analysis, based on the likelihood, can lead to considerably more uncertainty about persistence than is implied by the confidence intervals that are usually calculated. We examine also…

  • Visual Acuity, Visual Disabilities and Falling in the Elderly

    Open AccessCynthia L Arfken, Helen W Lach et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health1994Referencias: 2

    Poor vision has been suggested as a risk factor for falling in the elderly. We analyzed the findings from a cohort of community-dwelling elderly (N = 875) to determine the relative risks for impaired visual acuity and various visual disabilities with falling, recurrent falling, and serious injurious falls. The prevalences of impaired visual acuity and four visual disabilities were low. None of the vision variables examined predicted time to first…

  • The prevalence and correlates of fear of falling in elderly persons living in the community

    Cynthia L Arfken, Helen W Lach et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health1994Citada por: 6Referencias: 23

    OBJECTIVES. Fear of falling has been recognized as a potentially debilitating consequence of falling in elderly persons. However, the prevalence and the correlates of this fear are unknown. METHODS. Prevalence of fear of falling was calculated from the 1-year follow-up of an age- and gender-stratified random sample of community-dwelling elderly persons. Cross-sectional associations of fear of falling with quality of life, frailty, and falling wer…
