Assimilation, Acculturation, and Allostatic Load in U.S.- and Foreign-Born Hispanics
Associations of food insecurity and psychosocial measures with diet quality in adults aging with HIV
People aging with HIV face social stressors which may negatively affect their overall nutrition. Here, we assess relationships between self-reported measures of depression, perceived stress, social support, and food insecurity with diet quality in older adults with HIV. A retrospective analysis of self-reported data from parent study at The University of Alabama at Birmingham 1917 HIV Clinic was performed. The study sample consisted of sixty peop…
Dietary Energy–Density and Adiposity Markers Among a Cohort of Multi-ethnic Children
From national indices to regional action—An Analysis of food, energy, water security in Ecuador, Bolivia, and Peru
The food-energy-water (FEW) nexus has emerged over the past decade to build understanding around interlinked resources as a tool for achieving sustainable development. Various frameworks developed to implement nexus thinking however, do not always consider both access and availability of resources in a security perspective. Moreover, indices that calculate FEW measures on a national scale may not adequately describe regional variation within a co…
Associations of neighborhood area level deprivation with the metabolic syndrome and inflammation among middle- and older- age adults
These findings highlight the role of neighborhood socioeconomic deprivation on METS and CRP-MetS for black and white adults. Interventions tailored to address the contextual effects of deprived neighborhoods may reduce the observed neighborhood disparities
Children of immigrants in a globalized world
In the book 'Children of Immigrants in a Globalized World: A Generational Experience', Colombo and Rebughini share the experiences of youngsters whose parents have migrated from their native lands
Parental feeding practices and socioeconomic status are associated with child adiposity in a multi-ethnic sample of children
Do neighbourhoods matter? Neighbourhood disorder and long-term trends in serum cortisol levels
Children who are exposed to negative socioenvironmental climates over time are more likely to have altered serum cortisol levels. This may be an adaptive mechanism to cope with stress; however, disrupted cortisol levels may have negative effects on general physical and mental health
Socioeconomic status and cell aging in children
Beyond thriftiness
The thrifty genotype hypothesis initiated speculation that feast and famine cycling throughout history may have led to group‐specific alterations of the human genome, thereby augmenting the capacity for excessive fat mass accrual when immersed in the modern‐day obesogenic environment. Contemporary work, however, suggests alternative mechanisms influencing fuel utilization and subsequent tissue partitioning to be more relevant in the etiology of p…
The defining moment
This paper examines whether children of marginalized racial/ethnic groups have an awareness of race at earlier ages than youth from non-marginalized groups, documents their experiences with racial discrimination, and utilizes a modified racism-related stress model to explore the relationship between perceived racial discrimination and self-esteem. Data were collected for non-Hispanic black, non-Hispanic white, and Hispanic children aged 7 - 12 us…
Cardiovascular factors explain genetic background differences in VO 2 max
The purpose of this study was to further explore factors that may be related to ethnic differences in the maximum rate at which an individual can consume oxygen (VO 2 max) between 20 African American (AA) and 30 European American (EA) sedentary women who were matched for body weight (kg) and fat‐free mass (FFM). VO 2 max (l/min) was determined during a graded treadmill exercise test. Submaximal steady‐state heart rate and submaximal VO 2 were det…
