Objective We examined associations between neighborhood socioeconomic disadvantage, perceived safety and cardiometabolic risk factors, adjusting for health behaviors status (SES) among African Americans. Methods Study participants were non-diabetic Americans (n = 3,909) in the baseline examination (2000–2004) of Jackson Heart Study. measured eight factors: metabolic syndrome, its five components, insulin resistance cardiovascular inflammation. assessed disadvantage with US Census 2000 data....
<h3>Importance</h3> Health care organizations are increasingly incorporating social risk screening into patient care. Studies have reported wide variations in patients' interest receiving health care–based assistance for identified risks. However, no study to date has examined the factors associated with assistance, including whether varies based on specific demographic characteristics. Targeted research this topic could improve success of programs that offer services. <h3>Objective</h3> To...
PurposeTo (1) use All of Us (AoU) data to validate a previously published single-center model predicting the need for surgery among individuals with glaucoma, (2) train new models using AoU data, and (3) share insights regarding this novel source ophthalmic research.DesignDevelopment evaluation machine learning models.MethodsElectronic health record were extracted from 1,231 adults diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma. The was applied external validation. then used glaucoma multivariable...
We investigated whether lack of perceived neighborhood safety due to crime, or living in high crime neighborhoods was associated with incident mobility disability elderly populations. hypothesized that low-income elders and at retirement age (65 – 74) would be greatest risk onset the face measured crime-related hazards. conducted study New Haven Established Populations for Epidemiologic Studies Elderly (EPESE), a longitudinal cohort community-dwelling aged 65 older who were residents Haven,...
Differences in obesity and body fat distribution across gender race/ethnicity have been extensively described. We sought to replicate these differences evaluate newly emerging data from the All of Us Research Program (AoU). compared mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio baseline physical examination, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) electronic health record up 88,195 Non-Hispanic White (NHW), 40,770 Black (NHB), 35,640 Hispanic, 5,648 Asian participants.

Importance As US health care systems shift to human papillomavirus (HPV)–based cervical cancer screening, more patients are receiving positive high-risk non–16/18 genotype HPV results and negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy (NILM) cytological findings. Risk-based management guidelines recommend 2 consecutive annual return routine screening. Objective To quantify patterns of surveillance testing associated outcomes after an HPV-positive NILM cytologic Design, Setting,...
<h3>Importance</h3> National patterns of low-value and high-value care delivered to patients without insurance or with Medicaid could inform public policy but have not been previously examined. <h3>Objective</h3> To measure rates received by Medicaid, compared privately insured patients, provided safety-net physicians vs non–safety-net physicians. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This multiyear cross-sectional observational study included all ages 18 64 years from the Ambulatory...
