  • Exploring parental views and perceptions of cardiovascular health

    Open AccessDarci Phillips, Rachel Zmora et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    These findings highlight the need for flexible, community-based interventions that support CVH by engaging families and incorporating mental health promotion strategies. Effective strategies include enhancing community fitness and nutrition, programs to reduce cost barriers, offering flexible options to accommodate family schedules, and addressing emotional well-being. Healthcare providers can play a key role in these efforts by actively encourag…

  • Exploring Stress and Coping in Caregivers of Children with Pulmonary Vein Stenosis

    Open AccessMark Fuller, Mark G Fuller et al.ARTICLEChildren2024

    (1) Background: This mixed-method study aims to identify and describe factors associated with acute and long-term parenting stressors and coping strategies in caregivers of children with intraluminal pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS). (2) Methods: Parents of children with severe PVS were recruited from a large quaternary hospital to complete a survey that included demographics, the Pediatric Inventory for Parents (PIP), and the Coping Health Inventor…

  • Accelerated aging

    Open AccessSarah Forrester, Rachel Zmora et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2021

    We provide new evidence that accelerated aging based on easily measurable biomarkers may be a viable marker to partially explain how social factors can lead to cardiovascular outcomes and death

  • Transitioning to Long-Term Care

    Open AccessRachel Zmora, Tamara L Statz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Aging and Health2020References: 7

    Objectives: Previous analyses of interventions targeting relationships between family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and residential long-term care (RLTC) staff showed modest associations with caregiver outcomes. This analysis aimed to better understand interpersonal and contextual factors that influence caregiver-staff relationships and identify targets for future interventions to improve these relationships.…

  • Racial differences in the association of accelerated aging with future cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality

    Sarah Forrester, Rachel Zmora et al.ARTICLEEthnicity and Health2020Cited by: 1References: 9

    We provide evidence that AccA is associated with future CVD

  • Do Big Five Personality Traits Moderate the Effects of Stressful Life Events on Health Trajectories? Evidence From the Health and Retirement Study

    Open AccessLauren Mitchell, Rachel Zmora et al.ARTICLEThe Journals of Gerontology…2020References: 1

    Findings suggest that personality and stressful life events are important predictors of health outcomes. However, we found little evidence that personality moderates the effect of major stressful events across a 2-year time frame. Any heightened reactivity related to high neuroticism may be time-limited to the months immediately after a major stressful event

  • Racial differences in weathering and its associations with psychosocial stress

    Open AccessSarah Forrester, David R Jacobs et al.ARTICLESSM - Population Health2018

    Biological age (BA) is a construct that captures accelerated biological aging attributable to "wear and tear" from various exposures; we measured BA and weathering, defined as the difference between BA and chronological age, and their associations with race and psychosocial factors in a middle-aged bi-racial cohort. We used data from the Coronary Artery Risk in Young Adults study (CARDIA), conducted in 4 U.S. cities from 1985-2016 to examine weat…
