Depressive Symptoms and Increased Visceral Fat in Middle-Aged Women
Objective: To examine whether depressive symptoms are differentially associated with visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which is more metabolically active and confers greater cardiovascular risk than subcutaneous fat (SAT). Prior research has shown an association between depression and central adiposity. Mechanisms underlying the association between depression and increased cardiovascular risk remain poorly understood. Central adiposity is one potent…
Hostility Is Associated With Visceral, But Not Subcutaneous, Fat in Middle-Aged African American and White Women
Objective: To examine the cross-sectional association between hostility and measures of abdominal fat (visceral, subcutaneous) in middle-aged African American and white women. Because fat-patterning characteristics are known to differ by race, we were particularly interested in examining whether these associations were similar for women of both racial/ethnic groups. Methods: Participants were 418 (45% African American, 55% white) middle-aged wome…
Chronic Exposure to Everyday Discrimination and Coronary Artery Calcification in African-American Women
Chronic exposure to discrimination may be an important risk factor for early coronary calcification in African-American women. This association appears to be driven by exposure to discrimination from multiple sources, rather than exposure to racial/ethnic discrimination alone
