Limited research has examined the association of life-course socioeconomic status (SES) with hypertension prevalence and incidence in a large cohort African Americans.
Background Goal-striving stress (GSS), the from striving for goals, is associated with poor health. Less known about its association cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods and Results We used data JHS (Jackson Heart Study), a study of CVD among blacks (21-95 years old) 2000 to 2015. Participants free at baseline (2000-2004) were included in this analysis (n=4648). GSS was examined categories (low, moderate, high) SD units. Incident defined as fatal or nonfatal stroke, coronary heart (CHD),...
African Americans (AAs) are disproportionately affected by kidney disease and also report higher psychosocial stressors than other racial groups. Goal-striving stress (GSS) is an understudied stressor related to attempting accomplish one's life goals. Given the numerous social determinants that contribute health inequities among AAs, from goal striving may affect of AAs in particular outcomes. The objective this study was explore association between GSS rapid function decline (RKFD) AA...
Eclampsia is diagnosed in pregnant women who develop novel seizures. Our laboratory showed that the reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) rat model of preeclampsia displays latency to drug-induced While acid sensing ion channels (ASIC1a and 3) are important for reducing seizure longevity severity, role ASIC2a mediating sensitivity pregnancy has not been investigated. We hypothesized 1) RUPP reduces hippocampal ASIC2a, 2) mice with (ASIC2a+/−) have increased sensitivity. On gestational...
Abstract Background Multiple longitudinal responses together with time-to-event outcome are common in biomedical studies. There several instances where the correlated each other and at same time response is associated survival outcome. The main purpose of this study to present explore a joint modeling approach for multiple method will be illustrated using Jackson Heart Study (JHS), which one largest cardiovascular studies among African Americans. Methods Four responses, i.e., total...
ABSTRACT Objective The purposes of this study were to assess the association between changes in goal-striving stress (GSS) and sleep duration African Americans (AAs) determine if varies by sex, age, and/or educational attainment. Methods We completed a longitudinal analysis using examination 1 (2000–2004, n = 5306) 3 (2009–2013, 3819) data from Jackson Heart Study, with final sample 3500. Changes GSS calculated subtracting GSS. Mean differences ( β [standard error]) assessed linear...
Introduction. Addressing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors is essential to reducing CVD burden in African Americans (AAs). Goal-striving stress (GSS), the associated with fears of failure, particularly relevant AAa a society where their upward mobility often blocked. Therefore, purpose this study was assess association between GSS and incident hypertension, diabetes, obesity among AAs. Methods. Hazard regression models were used relationship 4,485 participants Jackson Heart Study....
Abstract Psychosocial stressors are determinants of increases in adiposity. Both psychosocial and adiposity higher among African Americans (AAs). Therefore, clarifying the stress‐obesity link AAs is important. The stress associated with goal striving particularly relevant to because opportunity for upward mobility not always equal. Goal‐striving (GSS) has been assessed adiposity, a potential result GSS. objective this study was determine whether GSS would be repeated measures [body mass...
