Cognitive Health Benefits of Everyday Physical Activity in a Diverse Sample of Middle-Aged Adults
BACKGROUND: Physical activity has been associated with a wide range of health benefits including long-term benefits for cognitive and brain health. Whether episodes of everyday physical activity are associated with immediate cognitive benefits remains unknown. PURPOSE: The purpose of the current study was to examine whether episodes of physical activity, occurring over the course of participants' daily lives, are associated with short-term improv…
Characterizing household food security status, perceived neighborhood food environment, and food shopping behaviors among caregivers of children in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos…
U.S. Hispanic/Latino households disproportionally experience food insecurity, which may intersect with their food environments and food shopping behaviors to shape diet and health, but more representative findings are needed. We identified latent classes related to household food security (HFS), food environments, and food shopping behaviors among U.S. Hispanic/Latino households, and investigated their relationships with sociodemographic characte…
Characterizing longitudinal change in accelerometry-based moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos and the Framingham Heart Study
These findings highlight potentially high-risk groups for targeted MVPA intervention
Predictors of incident diabetes in two populations
The same four independent predictors - age, body mass index, hypertension and employment status - were associated with diabetes risk across two disparate US populations. While the reason for elevated diabetes risk in full-time workers is unclear, the findings suggest that diabetes may be part of the work-related burden of disease. Our findings also support prior evidence that differences by gender and socioeconomic position in diabetes risk are n…
Diet quality comparisons in Hispanic/Latino siblings
Urinary Arsenic Species are Detectable in Urban Underserved Hispanic/Latino Populations
This study adds to the existing evidence that harmful forms of arsenic are present in this group of Hispanics/Latinos
How Well Do U.S. Hispanics Adhere to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans? Results from the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
Purpose: To examine alignment between 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) and dietary choices of individuals in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) between 2008 and 2011. Methods: Data are from 15,633 adults 18–74 years from the population-based cohort in HCHS/SOL. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) 2010 was used to measure diet quality. Means and standard errors (SEs) for the HEI total and each of the 12 component…
Home Environment Factors and Health Behaviors of Low-income, Overweight, and Obese Youth
Objectives: Home environment may influence children's health behaviors associated with obesity. In this study, we examined home environment factors associated with diet and physical activity behaviors of overweight or obese youth. Methods: We analyzed baseline data from child and parent/caregiver dyads enrolled in an urban family weight management program. Multivariable logistic regression examined how home environment (parenting practices, famil…
