Abstract BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness measures are emerging tools for risk assessment and stratification hypertension cardiovascular disease (CVD). Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is an established measure of central arterial stiffness. Other PWV include femoral-ankle (faPWV), a peripheral stiffness, brachial-ankle (baPWV), composite Repeatability central, peripheral, has not been adequately examined or compared. METHODS Participants ( n = 79; mean age 75.7 years; USA) from...
Objectives. To estimate the association between race/ethnicity and drug- alcohol-related arrest outcomes. Methods. We used multinomial logistic regression general estimating equations to outcomes in 36 073 arrests obtained from administrative records a Southwest US county 2009 2018. Results were stratified by charge type. Results. Among misdemeanor arrests, American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN; adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 3.60; 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.32, 3.90), Latino (AOR 1.53; CI...
The environmental health status of jail populations in the United States constitutes a significant public threat for prisoners and general population. ecology jails creates dynamic condition relation to population due concentrated potential exposure infectious diseases, difficult access treatment chronic conditions, interruption continuity care serious behavioral as well on-going issues prevention substance abuse disorders. This paper reports on elements cross-sectional survey embedded...
Though smoking is strongly associated with peripheral vascular disease and arteriosclerosis, smoking's association arterial stiffness has been inconsistent mostly limited to a single segment. We examined the relationship between behaviors in multiple segments among community dwelling older adults.The cross-sectional behavior carotid-femoral (cfPWV) femoral-ankle pulse wave velocity (faPWV) was 5,002 men women, separately, of Atherosclerosis Risk Communities (ARIC) cohort study....
Each year, 9 million individuals cycle in and out of jails. The under-characterization incarceration as an exposure poses substantial challenges to understanding how varying levels jail may affect health. Thus, we characterized including recidivism, number incarcerations, total average days incarcerated, time reincarceration.We created a cohort 75,203 incarcerated at the Coconino County Detention Facility Flagstaff, Arizona, from 2001 2018 intake release records.The median incarcerations...
The adoption of US culture among immigrants has been associated with higher leisure-time physical activity and sedentary behavior. However, most research to date assesses this association using single measures acculturation activity. Our objective was describe the cross-sectional between both behavior Hispanic/Latino adults. Participants included Hispanic/Latinos 18-74 years living in four locations enrolled Hispanic Community Health Study/Study Latinos from 2008 2011. Acculturation measured...
Introduction: Face masks are widely recommended as a COVID-19 prevention strategy. State mask mandates have generally reduced the spread of disease, but decisions to wear depend on many factors. Recent increases in case rates rural areas following initial outbreaks more densely populated highlight need focus and education. Messaging about disease risk has faced challenges past. While surges cases within some communities likely an impetus for behavior change, rising explain only part...
Incarcerated populations have increased in the last 20 years and >12 million individuals cycle out of jails each year. Previous research has predominately focused on prison population. However, a substantial gap exists understanding health, well-being, health care utilization patterns jail populations.This pilot study 5 main objectives: (1) define recidivists system, characterized by high incarceration rates; (2) describe compare demographic clinical characteristics incarcerated individuals;...
Purpose The aim of this study was to quantify the influence length look-back period on misclassification heart failure (HF) incidence in Medicare claims available for participants a population-based cohort. Methods Atherosclerosis Risk Communities with ≥3 years continuous fee-for-service enrollment from 2000 2012 assigned an index date 36 months after separating time-in-observation into and periods. Incident HF events were identified using ICD-9-CM code algorithms as first observed...
Abstract This paper reports on a research project that explored ethical, cultural, and/or spiritual conflicts and the various strategies used to navigate among over 400 Indigenous students professionals in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, medicine [Our initial was conceptualized as including STEM fields (not final M for medicine/health-related fields). However, our work included survey respondents interviewees fields, so subsequent analysis discussion uses more inclusive...
Over 500 abandoned uranium mines are located on the Navajo Reservation. Different pathways of environmental exposure have been studied with respect to people including water, soil, and plants; however, from traditional food, specifically mutton (sheep), has not reported. This study focuses consumption in small community Cameron, Arizona, southwestern region Nation initiated after members expressed concern their sheep. Preliminary investigation into presence sheep raised near Cameron showed...
From 1995-2013, an 8-day Physical Activity and Public Health Course for Researchers has been offered yearly in the United States.In 2013, evaluation quantified time that fellows spent different course offerings, surveyed on impact, documented grant funding, identified fellow participation leading physical activity-related journals.The number of attended ranged from 20 per year to 35 year. Fellows who participated web survey (n = 322) agreed course: met their expectations (99%), had a...
The physical and mental health benefits of activity in all populations are well established. In 2019, incarcerated women at a Southwest county jail were observed during "recreation time," time when is encouraged, to identify the proportion who participated recreation their levels. During times, 28% attended; 56% sedentary, 4% engaged vigorous activity, approximately 40% walked or performed similarly moderate activity. Future research should barriers being physically active while...
Intersectionality conceptualises how different parts of our identity compound, creating unique and multifaceted experiences oppression. Our objective was to explore compare several quantitative analytical approaches measure interactions among four sociodemographic variables interpret the relative impact axes marginalisation on self-reported health, visualise potential elevated intersectionality health outcomes.
Using a seven-day cycle menu and commissary items at rural county jail, this study aims to describe provisions of micronutrients known be associated with mental health disorders if they meet dietary guidelines.
