OBJECTIVE—We examined the relationship among iron stores, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We conducted a cross-sectional study of 6,044 adults >20 years age who participated in Third National Health Nutrition Examination Survey. Metabolic syndrome was defined as presence at least three following: elevated blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, serum triglycerides, plasma glucose, abdominal obesity. Insulin resistance estimated using homeostasis...
Clinical presentation, outcomes, and duration of COVID-19 has ranged dramatically. While some individuals recover quickly, others suffer from persistent symptoms, collectively known as long COVID, or post - acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 (PASC). Most PASC research focused on hospitalized patients with moderate to severe disease. We used data a diverse population-based cohort Arizonans estimate prevalence PASC, defined experiencing at least one symptom 30 days longer, individual symptoms. There...
National guidelines for the prevention and treatment of hypertension recommend sodium reduction, weight loss, Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, regular aerobic exercise. However, no trial has assessed efficacy simultaneously implementing all these recommendations. The objective this study was determine effects on blood pressure other cardiovascular disease risk factors a comprehensive lifestyle intervention. We conducted randomized controlled 44 hypertensive, overweight...
CDC recommends universal indoor masking by students, staff members, faculty, and visitors in kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools, regardless of vaccination status, to reduce transmission SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 (1). Schools Maricopa Pima Counties, which account for >75% Arizona's population (2), resumed in-person learning 2021-22 academic year during late July early August 2021. In mid-July, county-wide 7-day case rates were 161 105 per 100,000 persons...
The authors performed a case-cohort study nested within the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study to determine association between plasma ferritin level and risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Persons with incident cases diagnosed over an average follow-up period 7.9 years (n = 599) were compared random sample cohort 690). After adjustment for age, gender, menopausal status, ethnicity, center, smoking, alcohol intake, hazard ratio diabetes, comparing fifth quintile first quintile,...
This study examines the public perception of 2009 H1N1 influenza risk and its association with flu-related knowledge, social contexts, preventive behaviors during second wave outbreak in Arizona.Statistical analyses were conducted on survey data, which collected from a random-digit telephone general Arizona October 2009.The perceived different levels regarding likelihood their concern about contracting flu. These measures primarily correlated people Hispanic ethnicity, having children...
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Early epidemiological estimates show that is highly transmissible, infecting populations across globe in short amount of time. WHO has recommended widespread clinical testing order to contain COVID-19. However, mass emergency department (ED) settings may result crowded EDs and increase transmission risk for healthcare staff other ED patients. Drive-through sites are an effective solution quickly collect...
The effect of ambient temperature on cardiovascular disease has previously been studied. Less known are the effects climate blood pressure (BP) regulation, specifically, role BP variability. We investigated and barometric ambulatory variability in 333 men women with above-optimal or stage 1 hypertension participating Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) multicenter feeding trial. Each subject consumed same diet for 3 weeks. Daytime, nighttime, 24-h were recorded by monitoring...
Objective. We assessed the impact of school closures as a viable intervention in event an influenza pandemic. Methods. evaluated effect scheduled, two-week winter break during 2004–2008 years on occurrence among children aged 5–17 Arizona. Results. found consistent pattern benefit to school-age when non-school-age and adults experienced significant increases incidence, increase not seen children. Quantitative analysis showed that may prevent or delay much 42% potential cases In addition,...
To examine public knowledge, perceptions, and preparedness for the 2009 influenza A/H1N1 pandemic.We conducted a telephone survey of selected households in Arizona during month October 2009.Among 727 interviewed, one-third (34%) were not aware that terms swine flu H1N1 refer to same virus. Many believed it is more difficult contract (27%) than seasonal (14%). About three-quarters respondents perceived situation as urgent (76%), but only about those surveyed family member would get sick with...

Street food stands (SFS) are an understudied element of the environment. Previous SFS studies have not used a rigorous approach to document availability, density, and distribution across neighborhood income levels points access in Mexico City. A random sample (n = 761) street segments representing 20 low-, middle-, high-income neighborhoods were assessed using geographic information system (GIS) ground-truthing methods. All three contained SFS. However, availability density higher...
<h3>Background</h3> Several studies have suggested that blacks, on average, a blunted decline in nocturnal blood pressure (BP) as compared with nonblacks. It is unknown whether differences traditional determinants of BP, specifically diet and obesity, account for observed diurnal patterns. <h3>Methods</h3> We conducted an analysis the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) trial enrolled adults prehypertension or stage 1 hypertension. At end 3-week run-in period, ambulatory BP...
Abstract After an initial delay, Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) is being hit by the pandemic. Demand for exports falling and caseloads are rising. Governments have approached this crisis with a range of policy options. Optimal balances reduced infection rates lost economic output. This paper discusses how economic‐epidemiological model used to analyze in high‐income countries could be adapted context where poverty considerations paramount. Differences country characteristics across continent...
This study is a prospective, population-based cohort of individuals with history SARS-CoV-2 infection and those without past through multiple recruitment sources. The main goal to track health status over time, within the diverse populations Arizona identify long-term consequences COVID-19 on well-being. A total 2,881 participants (16.2% confirmed infection) have been enrolled as December 22, 2020, target enrollment 10,000 planned follow-up at least 2 years. manuscript describes scalable...
