Interpreting global variations in the toll of Covid-19
Key points: As of January 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic was on-going, affecting populations worldwide. The potential risks of the Omicron variant (and future variants) still remain an area of active investigation. Thus, the ultimate human toll of SARS-CoV-2, and, by extension, the variations in that toll among diverse populations, remain unresolved. Nonetheless, an extensive literature on causal factors in the observed patterns of COVID-19 morbidit…
Preventive Medicine for Person, Place, and Planet
Experts in preventive medicine and public health have long-since recognized that health is more than the absence of disease, and that each person in the 'waiting room' and beyond manifests the social/political/economic ecosystems that are part of their total lived experience. The term planetary health-denoting the interconnections between the health of person and place at all scales-emerged from the environmental and preventive health movements o…
Eighth Annual Conference of inVivo Planetary Health
inVIVO Planetary Health (inVIVO) is a progressive scientific movement providing evidence, advocacy, and inspiration to align the interests and vitality of people, place, and planet. Our goal is to transform personal and planetary health through awareness, attitudes, and actions, and a deeper understanding of how all systems are interconnected and interdependent. Here, we present the abstracts and proceedings of our 8th annual conference, held in …
Dysbiotic drift and biopsychosocial medicine
The emerging concept of planetary health emphasizes that the health of human civilization is intricately connected to the health of natural systems within the Earth's biosphere; here, we focus on the rapidly progressing microbiome science - the microbiota-mental health research in particular - as a way to illustrate the pathways by which exposure to biodiversity supports health. Microbiome science is illuminating the ways in which stress, socioec…
How to Improve Clinical Practice and Medical Education About Nutrition
Diet is a universal influence on health and one of the major determinants of both years in life (longevity) and life in years (vitality). Diet is also a uniquely complex variable, encompassing nearly infinite variations in composition and concentration, making it difficult to study. Study design and the particular answers at which a given trial is aimed exert considerable influence on findings, and these, in turn, may be influenced by the biases …

Effects of nutrient profiling and price changes based on NuVal ® scores on food purchasing in an online experimental supermarket
Objective The goal of the present study was to apply experimental economic methods in an online supermarket to examine the effects of nutrient profiling, and differential pricing based on the nutrient profile, on the overall diet quality, energy and macronutrients of the foods purchased, and diet cost. Design Participants were provided nutrient profiling scores or price adjustments based on nutrient profile scores while completing a hypothetical …
Lifestyle is Medicine
An aggregation of evidence over a span of decades has established as a bedrock fact of modern epidemiology that tobacco, poor diet, and lack of physical activity constitute the leading causes of chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease, and premature death

The Mortality Toll of Estrogen Avoidance
Objectives. We examined the effect of estrogen avoidance on mortality rates among hysterectomized women aged 50 to 59 years. Methods. We derived a formula to relate the excess mortality among hysterectomized women aged 50 to 59 years assigned to placebo in the Women’s Health Initiative randomized controlled trial to the entire population of comparable women in the United States, incorporating the decline in estrogen use observed between 2002 and …

A cost comparison of more and less nutritious food choices in US supermarkets
Objective The present study directly compared prices of more and less nutritious foods within given categories in US supermarkets. Design Foods selected from six supermarkets in Jackson County were categorized using the five criteria of the Nutrition DetectivesTM (ND) programme and an item-to-item cost comparison was made using posted prices. The nutritional quality of foods was distinguished using the clues of the ND nutrition education programm…
From Controlled Trial to Community Adoption
Methods for translating the findings of controlled trials, such as the Diabetes Prevention Program, into real-world community application have not been clearly defined. A standardized research methodology for making and evaluating such a transition is needed. We introduce the multisite translational community trial (mTCT) as the research analog to the multisite randomized controlled trial. The mTCT is adapted to incorporate the principles and pra…
Understanding barriers and facilitators of fruit and vegetable consumption among a diverse multi-ethnic population in the USA
A diet high in fruits and vegetables (F&V) has been associated with a decreased risk of certain cancers, reduced morbidity and mortality from heart disease, and enhanced weight management. Yet to date, most of the US population does not consume the recommended amount of F&V despite numerous interventions and government guidelines to promote consumption. Research has found various impediments to F&V consumption, such as high costs, an obesogenic e…
Solid Foundation
Solid Foundation is the definitive history of Jamaican reggae, from the earliest pioneers of the 1940s to the new stars of the 21st century. Drawing on more than 300 first-hand interviews, this landmark book tells the fascinating story of some of the most compelling characters in popular music. It features a diverse range of reggae pioneers, such as the Skatalites, the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, and Lee 'Scratch' Perry, dub legends such as Augustus Pa…
Preventable inpatient time
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed hospital electronic patient information systems (EPIS) for inclusion of variables associated with avoidable and extended hospitalization (preventable inpatient time). METHODS: We searched MEDLINE and HealthSTAR databases to identify predictors of preventable inpatient time. We then audited the admissions process and the handwritten medical record at 1 hospital, and the EPIS at all hospitals, affiliated with the Yal…
Weight loss counseling by health care providers
OBJECTIVES: This study explores the pattern of weight loss counseling by health care providers in Connecticut and the associated weight loss efforts by patients. METHODS: Data from the 1994 Connecticut Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey were analyzed to determine (1) the frequency of weight management counseling by health care providers of overweight adults with and without additional cardiovascular risk factors and (2) the current…
Bureaucracy and Immigrant Adjustment
Immigration, much as other social processes, has become increasingly bureaucratized. In the past, the immigrant's involvement in bureaucratic structures was largely limited to the pre-migration period of preparation of papers and transport and passage through customs. Thereafter, the immigrant's contact as an immigrant with formal organizations, if any, was with voluntary groups, largely ordered along ethnic lines. Advice, information and assista…
