Criminal behavior exacts a large toll on society and is resistant to intervention. Some evidence suggests classic psychedelics may inhibit criminal behavior, but the extent of these effects has not been comprehensively explored. In this study, we tested relationships psychedelic use psilocybin per se with among over 480,000 United States adult respondents pooled from last 13 available years National Survey Drug Use Health (2002 through 2014) while controlling for numerous covariates....
Objectives:This research tests whether childhood conditions are associated with trajectories of chronic among older adults.
Objective: The ketone diester, R,S-1,3-butanediol diacetoacetate (BD-AcAc 2 ), attenuates the accretion of adiposity and reduces hepatic steatosis in high-fat diet-induced obese mice when carbohydrate energy is removed from diet to accommodate ester. Reducing a potential confounder due well-known effects restriction on components balance metabolism. Therefore, current investigation was designed determine whether addition BD-AcAc high-fat, high-sugar (with no reduction energy) would attenuate...
Oversampling of Asian American individuals in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provides a unique opportunity to assess population-level cardiovascular health (CVH) fastest-growing racial group US. The Life's Essential 8 (LE8) score its components were calculated self-reported ≥20 years age free disease NHANES cycles from 2011-March 2020. Multivariable adjusted linear logistic regression models used for analysis. Among 2,059 individuals, weighted mean LE8 was 69.1...
This article tests whether functional status is associated with likelihood of social contact among older adults. Data come from the Second Longitudinal Study on Aging, a longitudinal nationally representative sample 9,447 noninstitutionalized individuals aged 70 and over at baseline in 1995. Functional measured using an index activities daily living (ADL) instrumental (IADL). Social by asking respondents they had gotten together socially or talked phone friends/neighbors family past 2 weeks....
To report the psychometric properties of COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST) patient-reported outcome measure (PROM), an 11-item scale previously validated among patients diagnosed with cancer and receiving chemotherapy.Data come from a cross-sectional survey (n = 2755 response rate 87%) participants in remote digital health coaching intervention collected between January 2017 February 2019.COST demonstrated very good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha .89) convergent...
Obesity and loneliness are associated with C-reactive protein (CRP), a predictor of cardiovascular disease. It is unknown whether the co-presence obesity additional risk for clinically elevated CRP. The present study thus examines their independent combined effects on CRP in older adults. Data come from 10,912 respondents who completed 2008 2010 waves Health Retirement Study. Loneliness was measured using an 11-item Scale body mass index calculated technician height weight. Our primary...
Socioecological factors are associated with key health behaviors that critical for weight management, and major life events may disrupt engagement in these behaviors. However, the influence of socioecological on midst is not clear difficult to study due random sporadic nature their occurrence. The COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity event its impacts diet, physical activity, body weight.
Childhood socioeconomic status (SES) is inversely associated with adult weight in high income countries. Whether the influence of childhood SES on best described using a critical period model or an accumulation risk not yet settled. This research tests whether BMI and likelihood obesity independent neighborhood characteristics. Data individual characteristics come from Health Retirement Study (N = 13,545). 2000 Decennial Census American Community Survey (2005-2009). In fully adjusted models,...
The mammalian body is a complex physiologic 'ecosystem' in which cells compete for calories (i.e., nutrient-energy). Axiomatically, cell-types with competitive advantages acquire greater number of consumed calories, and when possible, increase size and/or number. Thus, it logical parsimonious to posit that obesity the fat-cells (adipocytes) driving disproportionate acquisition storage nutrient-energy. Accordingly, we introduce two conceptual frameworks. Asymmetric Nutrient-Energy...
Background: Asthma is associated with a greater likelihood of e-cigarette use among young adults, which may increase the risk pulmonary complications. Because substance trajectories emerge in early adulthood, it important to identify factors that be addressing this new public health threat. One such factor poor mental health. Methods: Data were extracted from 2018 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS). Current and former asthma status was measured by self-reported lifetime...
Objective Subjective social status (SSS), or perceived status, may explain, in part, the relationship between socioeconomic (SES) and obesity. The objective of this study was to test whether SSS mediates two indicators SES (income education) body mass index (BMI). Methods A cross‐sectional, structural equation path analysis applied Coronary Artery Risk Development Young Adults (CARDIA) ( n = 2,624). tested (MacArthur scale), education, income were associated with BMI at year 20 examination...
Summary While the inverse association between socioeconomic status ( SES ) and obesity in high gross domestic product countries is well established using observational data, extent to which due a true causal effect of and, if so, mechanisms this remain incompletely known. To assess influence social on via energy intake, we randomized individuals higher or lower observed subsequent intake. College students ages 18 25 were operationalized as being leader follower partner activity purportedly...
