The Influence of a Covid-19 Vaccine Mandate on Vaccination Rates in a University Setting
We surveyed (September 9–17, 2021) students, staff, and faculty at the University of Minnesota, a large, highly vaccinated university, to evaluate whether the COVID-19 vaccine mandate increased self-reported vaccine uptake. Vaccine mandates have the potential to improve public health but should consider the context of implementation and costs associated with infringements on personal choice. Policymakers need to be equipped with data to inform de…
Spousal Cognitive Status and Risk for Declining Cognitive Function and Dementia
Objectives: We investigated the relationship between the cognitive status of participants' spouses and participants' own cognitive outcomes, controlling for mid-life factors. Methods: Participants ( n = 1845; baseline age 66-90 years) from the prospective Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study were followed from 2011 to 2019. We used linear regression and Cox proportional hazard models to estimate whether spouses of people with MCI/dementia ha…
Sars-CoV-2 Seroprevalence Survey in Grocery Store Workers—Minnesota, 2020–2021
Grocery workers were essential to the workforce and exempt from lockdown requirements as per Minnesota Executive Order 20-20. The risk of COVID-19 transmission in grocery settings is not well documented. This study aimed to determine which factors influenced seropositivity among grocery workers. We conducted a cross-sectional study of Minnesota grocery workers aged 18 and older using a convenience sample. Participants were recruited using a flyer…
The weathering hypothesis as an explanation for racial disparities in health
Major dietary patterns and carotid intima-media thickness in Bangladesh
Objective Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a validated surrogate marker of preclinical atherosclerosis and is predictive of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Research on the association between IMT and diet, however, is lacking, especially in low-income countries or low-BMI populations. Design Cross-sectional analysis. Dietary intakes were measured using a validated, thirty-nine-item FFQ at baseline cohort recruitment. IMT measuremen…
Sex Differences in the Association Between Depression, Anxiety, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety have been inconsistently associated with diabetes. Sex differences in the biological and behavioral correlates of these forms of distress could partially explain these inconsistencies. We investigated sex-specific associations between depression/anxiety symptoms and diabetes in two separate samples. METHODS: The First National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey enrolled 3233 participants aged 25 to 74 years…
