Abstract Motivation: The effort to build a whole-cell model requires the development of new modeling approaches, and in particular, integration models for different types processes, each which may be best described using representation. Flux-balance analysis (FBA) has been useful large-scale metabolic networks, methods have developed incorporate transcriptional regulation (regulatory FBA, or rFBA). Of current interest is these approaches with detailed based on ordinary differential equations...
Establishing healthy dietary and physical activity patterns among youths is an important public health strategy for improving preventing chronic diseases; however, few adolescents meet U.S. government recommendations or behaviors, disparities by sex race/ethnicity exist. CDC analyzed data from the 2019 Youth Risk Behavior Survey to update estimates of behaviors high school students overall race/ethnicity. In addition, 2-year comparisons (2017 2019) trends in prevalence these during 2009-2019...
Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate pregnant women's attitudes toward COVID-19 illness and vaccination identify factors associated with vaccine acceptability. Study Design This a cross-sectional survey among women enrolled in prospective cohort Salt Lake City, UT, Birmingham, AL, New York, NY, from August 9 December 10, 2020. Women were eligible if they 18 50 years old <28 weeks gestation. Upon enrollment, completed surveys regarding concerns about likelihood getting one...
We have performed an in-depth single-cell phenotypic characterization of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) by multiparametric mass cytometry (CyTOF). Using a CyTOF antibody panel to interrogate features HGSOC biology, combined with unsupervised computational analysis, we identified noteworthy cell types co-occurring across the tumors. In addition dominant subset, each tumor harbored rarer phenotypes. One such group co-expressed E-cadherin and vimentin (EV), suggesting their potential...
The fall of 2021 was the first school semester to begin with widespread in-person learning since COVID-19 pandemic began. Understanding dietary and physical activity behaviors adolescents during this time can provide insight into potential health equity gaps programmatic needs in schools communities. This report uses data from national Youth Risk Behavior Survey conducted among a nationally representative sample U.S. public private students grades 9-12 update estimates high overall by sex...
Physical activity (PA) provides numerous health benefits relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, concerns exist that PA levels may have decreased during pandemic thus exacerbating disparities. This study aims determine changes in and locations for reasons
ABSTRACT Objective Evaluate pregnant women’s attitudes toward COVID-19 illness and vaccination identify factors associated with vaccine acceptability. Study Design Cross-sectional survey among women enrolled in a prospective cohort study Salt Lake City, UT, Birmingham, AL, New York, NY, August 9– December 10, 2020. Women were eligible if they 18-50 years old <28 weeks of gestation. Upon enrollment, completed surveys regarding concerns about likelihood getting one available during...
Assessing awareness and knowledge of the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, 2nd edition (Guidelines), released in 2018, is important monitoring factors that contribute to increasing physical activity.We estimated prevalence adult aerobic guideline (≥150 min/wk moderate-intensity equivalent activity preferably spread out over a week) among adults (n = 3471) youth (≥60 min/d mostly moderate- vigorous-intensity activity) subset parents 744) from nationwide sample US 2019 FallStyles...
Background : Although disparities in leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) participation by race/ethnicity and income are known, the combined association of these characteristics with LTPA is less understood. This study aims to describe trends determine whether racial/ethnic differences adult level have changed over past 2 decades. Methods The authors estimated (outcomes: any aerobic activity, meeting guideline, muscle-strengthening guidelines) among adults ≥18 years across levels using...
During the past decade, guidelines for youth aerobic and muscle-strengthening physical activity remained unchanged. Active People, Healthy NationSM highlighted school strategies (eg, sports education [PE]) to increase activity. Sex, grade, race/ethnicity disparities exist. This study examines sex-specific trends differences by grade prevalence of 5 behaviors from 2009 2019.The national Youth Risk Behavior Survey assesses adolescents (grades 9-12) meeting aerobic, muscle-strengthening, both...
The COVID-19 pandemic may have disrupted people's work-life patterns and access to places be physically active. Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data were analyzed assess changes in self-reported leisure-time physical inactivity. results showed that prevalence of inactivity among US adults decreased 0.7 percentage points (95% CI: -1.2 -0.3), from 24.5% 2018 23.8% 2020, the greatest decreases observed rural-dwelling women, men, non-Hispanic White women. These findings highlight a...
Schools are in a unique position to offer opportunities for students be physically active throughout the school day and promote health well-being. However, experiences that threaten safety or perceptions of might affect students' physical activity behaviors. Using 2023 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey, six behaviors five negative violence were examined from nationally representative sample U.S. high students. This report updates estimates overall by sex, grade, race ethnicity, sexual...
Background : Healthy People 2030 includes objectives to increase meeting the aerobic physical activity guideline for ages 6–13 years (of 6–17 y, monitored by National Survey of Children’s Health [NSCH]) and grades 9 12 (mostly aged 14–18+ Youth Risk Behavior [YRBS]). This study compares methodologies, prevalence, patterns guideline, particularly overlapping 14–17 years. Methods Nationally representative surveys, 2016–2017 NSCH (adult proxy report, y) 2015 2017 YRBS (self-report, 9–12),...
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, second edition was released in 2018 and recommends adults do ≥150 minutes/week of moderate-intensity equivalent aerobic physical activity preferably spread out over a week (adult guideline). Assessing awareness knowledge the guideline is important monitoring public understanding health. PURPOSE: To describe prevalence correlates reported among US adults. METHODS: National data from 2019 FallStyles survey were analyzed. Adults (n=3471) who...
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, second edition recommends that older adults do multicomponent physical activity, which includes balance training in addition to aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities. authors estimated the prevalence of U.S. (age ≥65 years) who activities meet activity guidelines. analyzed data on 1,012 respondents 2019 FallStyles survey, a nationwide web-based panel survey. Approximately four 10 (40.7%) reported doing ≥1 day/week, 34.0% ≥2 days/week,...
Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, access to and participation leisure-time physical activity was plausibly different across sociodemographic strata of US population. Currently, Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) is only national public health surveillance system with a consistent measure pre- intra-pandemic. PURPOSE: To assess changes prevalence inactivity groups during 2020 versus 2018. METHODS: National data from BRFSS among 838,017 adults aged ≥18 years were analyzed....
Healthy People 2030 will include a new objective to increase the proportion of younger youth (6-13 years) who meet aerobic physical activity guideline (guideline). The current monitors meeting in older (grades 9-12). Monitoring these two objectives necessitates use surveillance systems: National Survey Children’s Health (NSCH) and national Youth Risk Behavior (YRBS). It is unclear how prevalence estimates compare systems. PURPOSE: To describe guideline, particularly where ages overlap (14-17...
