Social support modifies the negative effects of acculturation on obesity and central obesity in Mexican men
Background: This study examined the moderating role of social support in the acculturation-obesity/central obesity relationship in Mexican American (MA) men and women. Methods: Data from NHANES 1999-2008 were used. Acculturation derived from language use, country of birth and length of residence in the U.S. Social support assessed emotional and financial support. BMI (≥30) and waist circumference (≥88 cm for women; ≥102 cm for men) measured obesi…
Diet quality and its relationship with central obesity among Mexican Americans
Objective Using the Healthy Eating Index-2010 (HEI-2010), the present study aimed to examine diet quality and the impact of overall diet quality and its components on central obesity among Mexican-American men and women. Design Cross-sectional data from NHANES 1999–2012 were used. The HEI-2010 data, including twelve components for a total score of 100, were collected with a 24 h recall interview. Central obesity was defined as a waist circumferen…
Body composition indices of a load–capacity model
Objective Fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) are frequently measured to define body composition phenotypes. The load–capacity model integrates the effects of both FM and FFM to improve disease-risk prediction. We aimed to derive age-, gender- and BMI-specific reference curves of load–capacity model indices in an adult population (≥18 years). Design Cross-sectional study. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure FM, FFM, appendicula…
Impact of small group size on neighbourhood influences in multilevel models
Objective: Although there is a growing body of literature on sample size in multilevel or hierarchical modeling, few studies have examined the impact of group size < 5. Design: We examined the impact of a group size less than five on both a continuous and dichotomous outcome in a simple two-level multilevel model utilizing data from two studies. Setting: Models with balanced and unbalanced data of group sizes 2 to 5 were compared to models with c…

Nearly 13,000 Louisiana residents with HIV/AIDS were estimated to be living in areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. Although minimal general outpatient primary care services were available within a few weeks following the hurricane in New Orleans, access to antiretroviral medications was an early problem. The largest HIV care provider, the Medical Center of Louisiana at New Orleans HIV Outpatient Program (HOP), was able to assist in obtaining med…
