Factors Associated With Oral Hygiene Practices Among Young Mexican‐Identifying Southern Californians
Improving perceptions of oral health importance and encouraging dental visits could enable increased oral hygiene behaviors among young Mexican-American identifying adults
T ext2 F loss
Mothers receiving text messages improved their own oral health behaviors and knowledge as well as their behaviors regarding their children's oral health. Text messaging represents a viable method to improve oral health behaviors and knowledge. Its high acceptance may make it useful for preventing oral disease
Is dairy product consumption associated with the incidence of CHD
Objective Studies examining the association of dairy consumption with incident CHD have yielded inconsistent results. The current prospective study examined the association between dairy consumption and CHD in a population-based sample of older community-dwelling adults. Design Baseline CHD risk factors were assessed and an FFQ was self-administered. Participants were followed for morbidity and mortality with periodic clinic visits and annual mai…
Sex Differences in the Association of Framingham Cardiac Risk Score With Cognitive Decline in Community-Dwelling Elders Without Clinical Heart Disease
OBJECTIVE: To investigate a possible link between cardiovascular risk factors and age-related cognitive decline, the association of the 1998 Framingham Cardiac Risk Score (FCRS) with the trajectory of cognitive function test (CFT) performance over an 18 year period was examined in adults 50 years and older without clinical heart disease at baseline. METHODS: Participants were 985 men and women who had assessments of cognitive function at 3- to 4-…
Five-year stability in associations of health-related quality of life measures in community-dwelling older adults
Similar conclusions would result using either instrument SF-12 or SF-36. However, SF-6D and SF-36 assess, at least in part, different underlying aspects of HRQOL. Both age and sex impact HRQOL
Premature Graying, Balding, and Low Bone Mineral Density in Older Women and Men
Graying was not significantly associated with BMD in either group. Balding men averaged 5% lower total body BMD (p </= 0.05), and balding women had ~24% higher mean hip BMD (p </= 0.05). Graying and balding women reported a higher proportion of current estrogen use; balding women reported more use of glucocorticosteroids. Balding women using estrogen may explain the higher BMD
Hysterectomy status, estrogen use and quality of life in older women
Hysterectomy, oophorectomy, and heart disease risk factors in older women
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relation of hysterectomy and oophorectomy to heart disease risk factors. METHODS: Data were collected and analyzed for 1150 women aged 50 through 89. RESULTS: Of these women, 21.8% reported hysterectomy with bilateral oophorectomy; 22.1%, hysterectomy with ovarian conservation. Compared with women without hysterectomy, oophorectomized women, especially those 20 or more years postmenopause, had increased lipids,…
Bone mineral density in postmenopausal women as determined by prior oral contraceptive use
The long-term consequences of prior oral contraceptive use for bone mineral density were examined in 239 postmenopausal women, 35.1% of whom reported prior oral contraceptive use. Women who had used oral contraceptives for 6 or more years had significantly higher bone densities of the lumbar spine and femoral neck, but not of the ultradistal wrist or radius, than women who never used oral contraceptives
Early menopause, number of reproductive years, and bone mineral density in postmenopausal women
OBJECTIVES. Previous studies have reported positive associations of age at menopause with bone density and inverse associations of age at menarche with bone density. This study examined the relationships of early age at menopause and number of reproductive years (defined as age at menopause minus age at menarche) with bone density in postmenopausal women. METHODS. The subjects were 555 women aged 60 to 89 years who had had either natural menopaus…
Employment status and heart disease risk factors in middle-aged women
BACKGROUND. In recent years, an increasing number of women have been entering the labor force. It is known that in men, employment is related to heart disease risk, but there are few studies examining this association among women. METHODS. The relation between employment status and heart disease risk factors including lipid and lipoprotein levels, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting and postchallenge plasma glucose and insulin levels, …
