The Association between Use of Tobacco, Alcohol, or Cannabis and Metabolic Syndrome
Objectives: In this study, we describe the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) components and tobacco use and other behavioral and socio-economic characteristics. Methods: We collected demographic, anthropometric, and bioclinical data on 961 individuals at risk of MetS. We categorized frequency of use of tobacco product and other substances (alcohol and cannabis) as never, occasional, and regular. We used regression models to assess th…
Impacts of zero-fare transit policy on health and social determinants: Protocol for a natural experiment study
Population-level efforts are needed to increase levels of physical activity and healthy eating to reduce and manage chronic diseases such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and type 2 diabetes. Interventions to increase public transit use may be one promising strategy, particularly for low-income communities or populations of color who are disproportionately burdened by health disparities and transportation barriers. This study employs a natural…
Food Security and Cardio-Metabolic Risk in Individuals with Metabolic Syndrome
This study assessed the association of food security with potential cardio-metabolic risk factors among persons with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Data were derived from the baseline data of a randomized controlled lifestyle intervention trial for individuals with MetS. Household food security, fruit and vegetable intake, perceived food environment, and perceived stress were collected using validated questionnaires. Cardio-metabolic measures assesse…
Examination of eating competence in a geo-diverse sample with metabolic syndrome
Eating competence (EatC) is an intra-individual approach to eating attitudes and behaviors associated with greater well-being. EatC research has not included persons with confirmed metabolic syndrome (MetS). Therefore, EatC of persons with MetS was explored to identify unique associations and inform implementation of MetS lifestyle interventions using baseline data from a multisite, randomized trial of a 2-year lifestyle intervention with MetS. E…
Establishing a Multi-Institutional Quality and Patient Safety Consortium: Collaboration Across Affiliates in a Community-Based Medical School
The landscape of health care delivery and medical education is evolving. Institutions must continually reassess priorities, strategies, and partnerships to align the knowledge and skills of the health care workforce with the delivery of quality, socially accountable, collaborative health care that meets the needs of diverse populations in communities. This article describes the development, implementation, and early outcomes of the University of …
Genetic Determination of Osteoporosis: Lessons Learned from a Large Genome-Wide Linkage Study
Osteoporosis is a common disease with strong genetic control. We performed an autosomal linkage scan in a large pedigree-based sample of 4,498 subjects for a composite osteoporosis phenotype that combines osteoporotic fracture (OF) and low bone mineral density (BMD). All of the subjects were U.S. Caucasians recruited in the Omaha area of Nebraska. Sex-specific linkage analyses and autosomal imprinting analyses were also conducted. For conventiona…
