Association of maternal education, neighborhood deprivation, and racial segregation with gestational age at birth by maternal race/ethnicity and United States Census region in the Echo cohorts
Background In the United States, disparities in gestational age at birth by maternal race, ethnicity, and geography are theorized to be related, in part, to differences in individual- and neighborhood-level socioeconomic status (SES). Yet, few studies have examined their combined effects or whether associations vary by maternal race and ethnicity and United States Census region. Methods We assembled data from 34 cohorts in the Environmental influ…
Risk of Covid-19 among front-line health-care workers and the general community
BACKGROUND: Data for front-line health-care workers and risk of COVID-19 are limited. We sought to assess risk of COVID-19 among front-line health-care workers compared with the general community and the effect of personal protective equipment (PPE) on risk. METHODS: We did a prospective, observational cohort study in the UK and the USA of the general community, including front-line health-care workers, using self-reported data from the COVID Sym…
Evaluation of Asthma Prescription Measures and Health System Performance Based on Emergency Department Utilization
BACKGROUND: Measures based on the use of either antiinflammatory and/or reliever medications have been used to evaluate clinical performance in asthma. OBJECTIVE: We compared the association between 2 asthma prescription measures (APMs) and subsequent risk of emergency department (ED) asthma visits. DESIGN: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of automated pharmacy and healthcare utilization data from 3 large geographically diverse managed car…
Hostility and the Metabolic Syndrome in Older Males
OBJECTIVE: Several studies have shown that hostility, as measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-derived Cook-Medley Hostility Scale (Ho), is positively associated with several cardiovascular risk factors, possibly accounting for the relationship between Ho scores and cardiovascular mortality. This study was undertaken to examine associations between hostility and cardiovascular risk factors representing the metabolic syndrome…
Relationship between cigarette smoking, chest size and body size in health-screened adult males
Previous investigations have shown that chest dimensions and pulmonary function are positively correlated in healthy individuals. It is not known, however, whether the pulmonary effects of cigarette smoking may modify chest size during adulthood. The present study used cross-sectional data from 1557 healthy male participants in the Normative Aging Study of the Veterans Administration Outpatient Clinic, Boston. Because elastic recoil of the lung i…
