Metabolomic signatures of incident diabetes remain largely unclear for the U.S. Hispanic/Latino population, a group with high burden. We evaluated associations 624 known serum metabolites (measured by global, untargeted approach) in subsample (n = 2,010) Hispanic Community Health Study/Study Latinos without and cardiovascular disease at baseline (2008–2011). Based on significant associated diabetes, metabolite modules were detected using topological network analysis, their longitudinal...
Abstract Objective: Hispanics/Latinos in the United States are less aware of their cholesterol levels and have a higher burden associated adverse cardiovascular cerebrovascular outcomes than non-Latino whites.

In the present study, we looked at sex differences in negative affectivity and contingencies of self-worth as predictors eating disturbances (viz., drive for thinness, bulimic symptoms, body dissatisfaction) a South Asian American sample 97 females 83 males. Females, compared with males, were found to report greater involving others’ approval, appearance, academic competition, thinness dissatisfaction. Results conducting hierarchical regression analyses indicated that females, accounted...

All eligible survey as part four-stage mailing that asked questions about device addition to demographic injury-related characteristics.Results:...
Neuropsychological instruments are often developed in English and translated to other languages facilitate the clinical evaluation of diverse populations or utilize research environments. However, psychometric equivalence these assessments across language must be demonstrated before can validly compared.To test this equivalence, we applied measurement invariance procedures a subsample (N = 1,708) Hispanic Community Health Survey/Study Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Spanish versions neurocognitive...
The present study examined the relationship between future orientation and fibromyalgia-related pain severity in a sample of 287 adults with fibromyalgia. Specifically, authors dimensions self-compassion (for example, self-kindness, isolation, mindfulness) as possible mechanisms through which might be associated severity. Results conducting multiple mediator test 10,000 bootstraps indicated that significant negative association was mediated one specific dimension, namely, isolation. article...
