Association of Childhood Socioeconomic Status with Leukocyte Telomere Length Among African Americans and the Mediating Role of Behavioral and Psychosocial Factors: Results from the Gene-Forecast Study
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Strategic Visioning: Setting an Agenda Together for the NHLBI of 2025
Effect of Meditation on Endothelial Function in Black Americans With Metabolic Syndrome: A Randomized Trial
OBJECTIVES: Psychological stress may play a role in metabolic syndrome. A consequence of metabolic syndrome is endothelial dysfunction, which is also influenced by psychological stress. We sought to compare the effect of consciously resting meditation (CRM), a sound based meditation, with a control intervention of health education (HE) on endothelial function in the setting of metabolic syndrome. METHODS: Sixty-eight black Americans with metaboli…
The Association Between Depression and Leptin Is Mediated by Adiposity
OBJECTIVE: Animal models suggest that impaired leptin production, or leptin resistance despite increased leptin levels, may contribute to depression. The link between leptin and depression could be mediated by obesity, which is more common in depression and increases leptin production. METHODS: We administered the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) to 537 participants (mean [standard deviation (SD)] age = 51 [9] years; female, 61%) enrolled in…
Association Between Depression and Inflammation-Differences by Race and Sex: The Meta-Health Study
OBJECTIVE: To test whether the association between depression and inflammation differs by race and sex. Depressive symptoms have been associated with higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP). However, few studies have examined this association in samples including a significant number of African Americans, or examined whether the association differs by race and sex. METHODS: Depressive symptoms and CRP were assessed in 512 African American and w…
Interaction of sleep quality and psychosocial stress on obesity in African Americans: The Cardiovascular Health Epidemiology Study (CHES)
Sleep quality was associated with obesity in women. The association of sleep quality with obesity was modified by perceived stress. Our results indicate the need for simultaneous assessment of sleep and stress
Disparities in Trends of Hospitalization for Potentially Preventable Chronic Conditions Among African Americans During the 1990s: Implications and Benchmarks
Objectives. We compared trends in prevalence rates of preventable cardiovascular- and diabetes-related hospitalizations between African Americans and members of other major US racial/ethnic groups. Methods. Standardized rates for 1991 to 1998 were derived from hospital and US census data for California. Results. African Americans had significantly higher hospitalization rates in 1991, and discrepancies in rates continued to widen through 1998. Ov…
