Exploring the Role of Race/Ethnicity, Metropolitan Status, and Health Insurance in Long Covid Among U.S. Adults
Exploring community connections
Very little work has investigated built environment effects on loneliness. This study examined the relationship between neighborhood amenities and changes in loneliness among immigrants. Person-level cohort data were obtained from first-generation Chinese immigrants (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; baseline October 2018 – January 2020 and follow-up 3 years later, N = 346). Loneliness was assessed using the 3-item UCLA Loneliness Scale. Amenity locati…
Prevalence of Chronic Disease and Cost Effectiveness of a Free Clinic
Free clinics are a widespread, yet limited research has examined the health status of people served and the cost effectiveness of free clinics. The purpose of this study was to describe the sociodemographic characteristics and prevalence of chronic conditions in patients seen at a free clinic and estimate the clinic's cost-effectiveness. The study was a retrospective chart review of 350 randomly selected paper medical charts (2009-2020) and 1,676…
Ethnic Enclaves and Metabolic Syndrome in Chinese Immigrants in Philadelphia
Ethnic enclaves, neighborhoods with high ethnic concentrations, may have a protective effect on their residents' health outcomes, but studies on their associations with cardiometabolic risk in Asian communities are inconsistent. We examined whether ethnic enclave residence was associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a longitudinal sample of 516 Chinese immigrant adults in Philadelphia. Participants were recruited from three types of neighbor…
Pandemic effects on social capital in residents and non-residents of Chinese immigrant enclaves in Philadelphia
The COVID-19 pandemic's effect on established Chinese ethnic enclaves, which faced socio-economic disruptions as well as anti-Asian sentiment, is unknown. We compared the pandemic's effect on social capital among residents and non-residents of Chinese ethnic enclaves in Philadelphia. Despite declines in group participation and citizenship activity (joining with others or speaking with local officials to address a neighborhood problem), the pandem…

Neighborhood gentrification, wealth, and co-ethnic density associations with acculturation stressors among Chinese immigrants
Among middle-aged Chinese immigrants, acculturation stress was lower for residents in neighborhoods with higher proportion of Chinese immigrants and for residents in neighborhoods with higher wealth, whereas gentrification had no influence on acculturation stress. More work on this topic is needed with vulnerable populations such as this one, informed by local context

Mi Gente, Nuestra Salud
By de-centering specific interventions and conceptualizing them as single events in a complex web, our system-oriented community ownership model brings the focus back to the system itself, and to system-based processes and solutions, while still guided by CBPR principles
Acculturative Stress and Depressive Symptoms Among Chinese Immigrants
Ethnic density, social support, and loneliness among Chinese immigrants in Philadelphia
Living in more 'ethnically dense' areas is thought to promote health, possibly by facilitating social support and a sense of belonging. Because of kin networks and cultural obligations, family relationships may be particularly important for Asian immigrants. Chinese-origin individuals are the largest group of Asian Americans and among the most highly segregated, but the psychosocial benefits of living in Chinese neighborhoods are not established.…

Sugar-sweetened beverage taxes in 2018
The year 2018 was undoubtedly momentous for sugarsweetened beverage (SSB) tax implementation, with the enactment of SSB taxes in nine additional jurisdictions around the world. The year was also marked by new evidence supporting the effectiveness of SSB taxes to reduce the purchase and consumption of SSB. On the other hand, industry opposition reached new heights and further global commitment to tax SSB in 2018 was minimal. But the public health …

On the pitfalls of disclosure statements
On the pitfalls of disclosure statements Disclosure statements are now such standard procedure for scientific journals that it is difficult to remember a time when they were not required. So it is interesting to see disclosure and transparency up for debate again in the medical literature, with some recent editorials raising concerns over the pitfalls of disclosure In this Public Health Nutrition (PHN) editorial we describe two instances that bri…

Acculturation and Insulin Resistance Among US Chinese Immigrant Women
These findings provide longitudinal evidence that insulin resistance increases with acculturation. However, the association was apparent only in less-educated immigrants and may be mediated by a pathway other than changes in anthropometry and diet
Introducing PRISMA as a requirement
Advances in biomedical research in recent decades have led to tangible improvements in medical knowledge and practice and have contributed to better human health in general. As investment in biomedical research grows, so does research output. Although the biomedical research enterprise enjoys a great level of trust by consumers, policy makers and patients, this trust should not be taken for granted. Various reports have raised concerns over the q…
Programmes, policies and implementation
This issue of Public Health Nutrition highlights two related topics: implementation and nutrition policy. In an invited commentary, van Nassau et al. While the foremost question in programme evaluation most often is, 'did it work?', in implementation research the question is different: 'why did my programme (not) work?' Van Nassau et al. provide a strong argument in favour of research
Acculturative Stress and Inflammation Among Chinese Immigrant Women
OBJECTIVE: Among Chinese immigrant populations, increasing duration of US residence is associated with elevated risk for various chronic diseases. Although life-style changes after migration have been extensively studied in immigrant populations, the psychosocial impact of acculturative stress on biological markers of health is less understood. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to examine associations between acculturative stress and infl…

Area-Level Characteristics and Smoking in Women
Objectives. This study examined whether area-level characteristics are associated with individual smoking behavior among women. Methods. Analyses included 648 women enrolled as control patients in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (1993–1996). Smoking and covariate information was obtained from interviews. Area-level characteristics included census block-group education level, poverty, unemployment, car–home ownership, crowding, and, for 431 women…
Is neighbourhood obesogenicity associated with body mass index in women? Application of an obesogenicity index in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods
Acculturation and Post-migration Stress in Middle-aged Chinese Immigrant Women in Philadelphia
The experience of acculturation in Chinese immigrant women from the rural coastal province of Fujian has not been well studied despite of their growing numbers in American cities. This exploratory study is an attempt to examine the experience of acculturation and post-migration stress in Fujianese immigrant women as compared to those from other parts of China. The study is based on a convenience sample 240 Fujianese and 162 non-Fujianese Chinese …
Genetic admixture and gallbladder disease in Mexican Americans
Gallbladder disease is a common source of morbidity in the Mexican American population. Genetic heritage has been proposed as a possible contributor, but evidence for this is limited. Because gallbladder disease has been associated with Native American heritage, genetic admixture may serve as a useful proxy for genetic susceptibility to the disease in epidemiologic studies. The objective of our study was to examine the possibility that gallbladde…

Dietary intake and gallbladder disease
Objective Dietary intake has long been looked upon as a potentially modifiable risk factor for gallbladder disease (GBD), here defined as either having gallstones or having had surgery for gallstones. This paper reviews the epidemiological evidence for an association between dietary intake and GBD, focusing on six dietary factors that have received the most attention in studies in this area: energy intake, fatty acids, cholesterol, carbohydrates …
Food intake patterns and gallbladder disease in Mexican Americans
Objective Results of previous studies on diet and gallbladder disease (GBD), defined as having gallstones or having had surgery for gallstones, have been inconsistent. This research examined patterns of food intake in Mexican Americans and their associations with GBD. Design Cross-sectional. Subjects The study population included 4641 Mexican Americans aged 20–74 years who participated in the 1988–94 third National Health and Nutrition Examinatio…

Screening Mammography in Asian American Women
A recent article by Leung et al.,1 concluding that annual, population-based screening mammograms are not justified in Hong Kong, would seem to have implications for screening of Asian women in Western countries. In US Asian/Pacific Islander women aged 50 years or older, for example, 1996 breast cancer incidence and mortality rates were 126.4 and 32.7 per 100 000, respectively,2 similar to rates in Hong Kong. Following the calculations described b…
