Racial Difference in the Association of Long-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) and Cardiovascular Disease Mortality among Renal Transplant Recipients
Ambient air pollutants are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality with significant racial disparities. However, few studies have explored racial differences among highly susceptible subpopulations, such as renal transplant recipients (RTRs). Despite improvements in quality of life after transplantation, CVD remains the major cause of mortality, especially among Black recipients. This study aimed to evaluate po…
Are perceptions of community safety associated with respiratory illness among a low-income, minority adult population
Our findings contribute to the literature that individuals' perceptions of community safety are associated with adverse respiratory health among a population living in high air pollution exposure areas

Independent associations of dairy and calcium intakes with colorectal cancers in the Adventist Health Study-2 cohort
Objective Results associating dairy and Ca intakes with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk have been mixed. Most previous analyses have suffered from confounding between dairy and Ca intakes. We examined independent associations between these variables, also dairy foods, and CRC incidence in a population with a large range of dairy intakes. Design Adventist Health Study-2 is a cohort study where subjects were enrolled 2002–2007. Proportional hazard reg…
Vegetarian diets and cardiovascular risk factors in black members of the Adventist Health Study-2
Objective To compare cardiovascular risk factors between vegetarians and non-vegetarians in black individuals living in the USA. Design A cross-sectional analysis of a sub-set of 592 black women and men enrolled in the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) cohort of Seventh-day Adventists. Setting Members of the AHS-2 cohort, who lived in all states of the USA and provinces of Canada. Subjects Black/African-American members of two sub-studies of AHS-2…
Legumes and meat analogues consumption are associated with hip fracture risk independently of meat intake among Caucasian men and women
Objective In contrast to non-vegetarians, vegetarians consume more legumes and meat analogues as sources of protein to substitute for meat intake. The present study aimed to assess the association between foods with high protein content (legumes, meat, meat analogues) by dietary pattern (vegetarians, non-vegetarians) and hip fracture incidence, adjusted for selected lifestyle factors. Design A prospective cohort of Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2…

Long-term ambient PM 10 concentrations and incidence of emphysema in California adults
In this paper, we evaluate the relationship between long-term concentrations of particulate matter of 10 micrometers or less (PM10) and risk of emphysema in California adults. A cohort of 6338 non-Hispanic, white Californian adults, ages 27–95, was followed from 1977 to 2000 for various chronic disease outcomes including physician diagnosed emphysema. Monthly ambient air pollution data were interpolated to zip code centroids according to home and…
Race-specific validation of food intake obtained from a comprehensive FFQ
Objective To assess race-specific validity of food and food group intakes measured using an FFQ. Design Calibration study participants were randomly selected from the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) cohort by church, and then by subject-within-church. Intakes of forty-seven foods and food groups were assessed using an FFQ and then compared with intake estimates measured using six 24 h dietary recalls (24HDR). We used two approaches to assess the…
Validation of nutrient intake using an FFQ and repeated 24 h recalls in black and white subjects of the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2)
Objective To validate a 204-item quantitative FFQ for measurement of nutrient intake in the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2). Design Calibration study participants were randomly selected from the AHS-2 cohort by church, and then subject-within-church. Each participant provided two sets of three weighted 24 h dietary recalls and a 204-item FFQ. Race-specific correlation coefficients ( r ), corrected for attenuation from within-person variation in …
Effects of meat consumption and vegetarian diet on risk of wrist fracture over 25 years in a cohort of peri- and postmenopausal women
Background Evidence suggesting that a diet high in fruits and vegetables may be beneficial to bone health has sparked interest in the potential benefit of a vegetarian diet. However, other studies have raised a question regarding the adequacy of protein in such a diet. Objective The aim of the present study was to take a whole foods approach in examining the effects of foods high in protein on the risk of wrist fracture (WF) in a cohort with a si…
Mentoring Cambodian and Lao health professionals in tobacco control leadership and research skills
With the successful completion of the certificate programme, the remaining two years of the grant will be used to prepare the trainees for positions of leadership within their Ministries of Health and other agencies to implement effective tobacco control policies based on locally-derived research findings
Cardiovascular risk factor levels in ethnic Hawaiians
We report a cardiovascular risk factor survey of "native" Hawaiians 20-59 years old (70 percent, or 257), living on the Hawaiian Homestead lands on the island of Molokai, Hawaii. More than 60 percent of both sexes were overweight. Among males, 42 percent were smokers. The percent of the population with systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure greater than 90 mm Hg or taking hypertensive medications was 14 percent of …
