Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk of at least 13 different types cancer.Data from the United States Cancer Statistics for 2014 were used to assess incidence rates, data 2005 trends cancers overweight (adenocarcinoma esophagus; breast [in postmenopausal women], colon rectum, endometrium, gallbladder, gastric cardia, kidney, liver, ovary, pancreas, thyroid; meningioma; multiple myeloma) by sex, age, race/ethnicity, state, geographic region, cancer site. Because...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate a weight loss and exercise program designed to improve diabetes management in older African-Americans. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Overweight African-Americans (n = 64) ages 55–79 years with NIDDM were randomized either an intervention (12 weekly group sessions, 1 individual session, 6 biweekly sessions) or usual care (1 class 2 informational mailings). Clinical behavioral variables assessed at 0, 3, months of treatment. RESULTS Significant net differences the versus...
Background Individual variability in response to multiple modalities of obesity treatment is well documented, yet our understanding why some individuals respond while others do not limited. The etiology this multifactorial; however, at present, we lack a comprehensive evidence base identify which factors or combination influence response. Objectives This paper provides an overview and rationale the Accumulating Data Optimally Predict Treatment (ADOPT) Core Measures Project, aims advance...
Multilevel interventions can be uniquely effective at addressing minority health and disparities, but they pose substantial methodological, data analytic, assessment challenges that must considered when designing applying assessment. To facilitate the adoption of multilevel to reduce we outline areas need in filling existing operational design interventions. We discuss development address overarching constructs inherent interventions, with a particular focus on their application disparities....
Up to 85% of adult cancer survivors and 99% childhood live with an accumulation chronic conditions, frailty, and/or cognitive impairments resulting from its treatment. Thus, often show accelerated development multiple geriatric syndromes need therapeutic interventions. To advance progress in this area, the National Cancer Institute convened second 2 think tanks under auspices Accelerated Aging: Advancing Research for Healthy Survivors initiative. Experts assembled share evidence promising...
Food insecurity and the lack of access to affordable, nutritious food are associated with poor dietary quality an increased risk diet-related diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain types cancer. Those lower socioeconomic status racial ethnic minority groups experience higher rates insecurity, more likely live in under-resourced environments, continue bear greatest burden chronic diseases United States. Despite growing body literature this area, there still significant...
Importance The mechanisms through which chronic stressors may be associated with tumor biologic characteristics, immune response, and health disparities remain insufficiently understood. Objective To investigate the proteomic, transcriptomic, genomic effects multilevel (perceived stress, perceived inadequate social support, racial ethnic discrimination, neighborhood deprivation) in Black White women breast cancer. Design, Setting, Participants This cross-sectional study was conducted from...
Abstract Although it is recognized that many common complex diseases are a result of multiple genetic and environmental risk factors, studies gene‐environment interaction remain challenge have had limited success to date. Given the current state‐of‐the‐science, NIH sought input on ways accelerate investigations interplay in health disease by inviting experts from variety disciplines give advice about future direction studies. Participants Gene‐Environment Interplay Workshop agreed there need...
Abstract Objective The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern has been shown reduce cardiometabolic risk. Little is understood about the relationship between objective diet quality and perceived (PDQ), a potential psychosocial barrier appropriate intake. We compared PDQ measured by nutrient-based DASH index score in USA. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants 2005–2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) rated on 5-point Likert scale scores were...
This study addressed the hypothesis that variation in genes associated with dopamine function (SLC6A3, DRD2, DRD4), serotonin (SLC6A4, and regulation of monoamine levels (MAOA) may be predictive BMI categories (obese overweight + obese) young adulthood changes as adolescents transition into adulthood. Interactions gender race/ethnicity were also examined.Participants a subsample individuals from National Longitudinal Study Adolescent Health (Add Health), nationally representative sample...
African American men have higher incidence rates of aggressive prostate cancer, where high levels calcium and serum vitamin D deficient play a role in the racial differences incidence. In this study, we examined associations with cancer to improve our understanding susceptibility disease cohort. From Howard University Hospital, 155 clinically-identified were identified; 46 cases, 58 non-aggressive cases. Serum was assessed from fasting blood samples, total intake using Block Food Frequency...
Federal child nutrition programs are a key part of the safety net, but cost serves as participation barrier for students. This can also lead to meal debt schools when students unable pay meals they take. The US Department Agriculture Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) seeks address these challenges by providing free all within lower-income or school districts. Whereas pandemic-related waivers provided universal nationwide, once expired, states were again confronted with barriers. To...
We examined whether public schools in states with specific and stringent physical education (PE) laws, as assessed by the Physical Education-Related State Policy Classification System (PERSPCS), available on of Laws Associated School Students (C.L.A.S.S.) Web site, reported more weekly PE time most recent Health Policies Programs Survey (SHPPS).Schools (n=410) were grouped their state's PERSPCS requirement scores (none, nonspecific requirement, or requirement). Average school-level was...
There is considerable evidence that a healthy lifestyle consisting of physical activity, diet, and weight control associated with reduced risk morbidity mortality after cancer. However, these behavioral interventions are not widely adopted in practice or community settings. Integrating heath behavior change into standard survivorship care for the growing number cancer survivors requires an understanding current state science coordinated scientific agenda future focused attention several...
