Older Adults’ Perceptions of the Ageing Experience in Trinidad and Tobago
This study explores older adults’ perceptions of the ageing experience in Trinidad and Tobago, and gains insight into their self-perceptions of ageing. A concurrent mixed-methods approach was utilized, targeting older adults living in Trinidad or Tobago. For this paper, only the qualitative component of the study will be discussed. Thirty-eight (38) participants engaged in six focus group discussions about their physical, mental, and social healt…
Identifying the Determinants of Hookah Smoking Among the Youth; A Mixed-Methods Study
Stressful life events and social capital during the early phase of Covid-19 in the U.S
BACKGROUND: A novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was reported in Wuhan, China late December 2019. The disease has as of the end of March 2020, affected over 35 countries (with over 570,000 cases and 26,000 deaths) worldwide. This includes the U.S., where cases are increasing by the thousands every day (100,000 cases with 1500 deaths as of April 2020). We set out to investigate new or increased stressful life events (SLEs) as a result of this pa…
Ethnic Variations in Serum 25(OH)D Levels and Bone Ultrasound Attenuation Measurements in Blacks and Whites
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…
Body-Mass Index and Mortality among 1.46 Million White Adults
BACKGROUND: A high body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, but the precise relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality remains uncertain. METHODS: We used Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for an association between BMI and all-cause mortality, adjusting for age, stud…
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…
Is early natural menopause a biologic marker of health and aging
The relation between age at natural menopause and all-cause mortality was investigated in a sample of 5,287 White women, ages 55 to 100 years, naturally-postmenopausal, Seventh-day Adventists who had completed mailed questionnaires in 1976. The age-adjusted odds ratio of death during 1976-82 in women with natural menopause before age 40 was 1.95 (95% confidence interval = 1.24, 3.07), compared to the reference group of women reporting natural men…
