  • Mapping food access

    Open Access•May A Beydoun, Michael F Georgescu et al.•ARTICLE•BMC Public Health•2026

    Limited access to affordable, nutritious food is a key structural determinant of health inequality. In the United Kingdom, food desert risk is often assumed to mirror socioeconomic deprivation, yet their alignment across small-area geographies remains unclear. To characterize the spatial distribution of food desert risk across England, Wales, and Scotland; quantify its association and concordance with area-level deprivation; and identify deprivat…

  • Does time heal all wounds? Examining the lasting impact of historic redlining on contemporary racial disparities in allostatic load in Baltimore, Maryland

    Open Access•Marcus R Andrews, Linda Chatters et al.•ARTICLE•Ethnicity and Health•2026•Referências: 7

    Contemporary residents of historically yellowlined, but not redlined, neighborhoods experienced heightened physiological deterioration. The strength of this association differed by race, and was substantially explained by the contemporary neighborhood deprivation index only for African Americans in yellowlined areas. Addressing health disparities requires attention to the long-lasting impacts of historical practices of institutional racism on con…

  • Evaluating replicability of factors in the Revised NEO Personality Inventory

    Robert R Mccrae, Alan B Zonderman et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•1996•Citada por: 78

    Despite the empirical robustness of the 5-factor model of personality, recent confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) of NEO Personality Inventory (NEO-PI) data suggest they do not fit the hypothesized model. In a replication study of 229 adults, a series ofCFAs showed that Revised NEO-PI scales are not simple-structured but do approximate the normative 5-factor structure. CFA goodness-of-fit indices, however, were not high. Comparability analyses sh…

  • Age Stereotypes Held Earlier in Life Predict Cardiovascular Events in Later Life

    Open Access•Benjamin R Levy, Becca R Levy et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Science•2009

    When older individuals apply negative age stereotypes to themselves, they can adversely influence a wide range of outcomes (Levy, Slade, Kunkel, & Kasl, 2002). These outcomes include a greater cardiovascular response to stress and worse health behaviors, such as higher tobacco use (Levy, Hausdorff, Hencke, & Wei, 2000; Levy & Myers, 2004), both of which have been linked to the risk of cardiovascular events (Jiang et al., 1996).
