Legendary Women of Environmental Justice in Metro Detroit: A Report from a Historic Community Event Hosted on July 8, 2023

We met on July 8, 2023, at the Kemeny Recreation Center in Southwest Detroit, the heart of a community affected by environmental (in)justices for decades. Greeted by youth and elder community leaders, we were welcomed with grace and a buzz of optimism and brilliance. When everyone was glad the person next to them came, we knew we were in the right …
How teacher behaviors and perceptions, air change rates, and portable air purifiers affect indoor air quality in naturally ventilated schools
Introduction Many school buildings have inadequate ventilation, rudimentary if any air filtration, and aging and poorly maintained mechanical systems, all of which can lead to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). These issues are especially acute in environmental justice (EJ) communities where schools are located in polluted areas. This community-based participatory research examines how IAQ in naturally ventilated school buildings is affected by the u…
Health inequalities in hospitalisation and mortality in patients diagnosed with heart failure in a universal healthcare coverage system
BACKGROUND: Information regarding the effect of social determinants of health on heart failure (HF) community-dwelling patients is scarce. We aimed to analyse the presence of socioeconomic inequalities, and their impact on hospitalisations and mortality, in patients with HF attended in a universal healthcare coverage system. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study carried out in patients with HF aged >40 and attended at the 53 primary healthcare ce…
Anthropometric predictors for the risk of chronic disease in non-diabetic, non-hypertensive young Mexican women
Objectives To assess the ability of anthropometric measurements to identify young women at risk of developing diabetes, hypertension and heart disease in the future and to compare cut-off points for common anthropometric measures established with receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves with those reported in the literature. Design Cross-sectional study. Subjects Eight hundred and two young Mexican women living in semi-urban poverty. Measur…
