    Open AccessRichard F Gillum, Ralston Yorrick et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2011

    Geographic and temporal variation in occurrence of dementia within the US has received little attention despite its importance for generation of new etiologic hypotheses and health services research. We examine methodological problems in the use of vital statistics data for assessing variation over time, among states and within states in the US. We analyzed the US multiple cause of death files for 2005-2006 and 1999-2000 US deaths with Alzheimer'…

Among men aged 17-29 years, 4.9% of frequent attenders (>or=24 times/y) an…

  • Access to Health Care and Religion among Young American Men

    Open AccessRichard F Gillum, Nicole Jarrett et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2009

Using data from a national survey we tested the hypothesis that religion raised predicts access to and utilization of a regular medical care provider, examinations, HIV and other STD testing and counseling at ages 18-44 years in men born between 1958 and 1984. We also hyp…

    Age-related loss and decline in FFM and FFMI in older Americans is higher for black men and women, than for white men and women. The development of focused population-based preventive strategies is likely to improve functional independence in the aged
