Influenza is the most common vaccine-preventable disease in United States; however, little known about burden of critical illness due to influenza virus infection. Our primary objective was estimate proportion all hospitalizations that are attributable seasonal influenza.
Background: Limited evidence links air pollution exposure to chronic cough and sputum production. Few reports have investigated the association between long-term classically defined bronchitis. Objectives: Our objective was estimate particulate matter (diameter <10 μm, PM10; <2.5μm, PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), both incident prevalent Methods: We estimated annual average PM2.5, PM10, NO2 concentrations using a national land-use regression model with spatial smoothing at home...
The impact of a broad range occupational exposures on subclinical interstitial lung disease (ILD) has not been studied.To determine whether to vapors, gas, dust, and fumes (VGDF) are associated with high-attenuation areas (HAA) abnormalities (ILA), which quantitative qualitative computed tomography (CT)-based measurements ILD, respectively.We performed analyses participants enrolled in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis), population-based cohort aged 45-84 years at recruitment. HAA was...
Epidemiologic research has identified numerous interpersonal and individual risk factors for warning signs of emerging eating disorders in adolescents. These findings have informed public health prevention treatment strategies, including translation to clinical recommendations primary care providers (PCPs). A next step this translational work could include a comprehensive approach where PCPs are seen as partners efforts improve population outcomes. great potential implement high-yield...

Adolescents self-reported unhealthy control behaviours, binge eating meal frequency; was measured. Household assessed by asking parents respond the validated six-item US Food Security Survey Module. Setting: surveyed within Minneapolis/St. Paul public middle high schools completed surveys at school, their parents/guardians...
This study assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between weight teasing disordered eating in an ethnically/racially socioeconomically diverse sample of young people examined these across sociodemographic characteristics.The EAT 2010-2018 surveyed adolescents (n = 1,534) the Minneapolis/St. Paul public schools (mean age 14.4 years) 8 years later 22.2 years).Weight was prevalent adolescence (34.1%) adulthood (41.5%). In analyses adjusted for characteristics body mass index,...
Online exercise videos can reach adolescents who lack access to in-person physical activity (PA). Yet, health professionals are wary of recommending online resources because most free fail represent diverse teens and perpetuate harmful norms. Our study had two purposes. First, we examined adolescents’ perceptions standard videos. Second, sought their responses Move + Thrive, a novel, free, video library designed meet developmental needs adolescents, be inclusive, promote behavior. We created...

Nearly half the world's population burns solid fuel for cooking, heating, and lighting. The incomplete combustion of these fuels is associated with detrimental health environmental effects. design distribution improved cookstoves that increase efficiency reduce indoor air pollution are a global priority.

Abstract Background Weight stigma is prevalent among young people and harmful to health. The current study used a health equity lens examine cross-sectional longitudinal associations between experiencing weight teasing (a form of stigma) with range weight-related behaviors status in an ethnically/racially socioeconomically diverse sample people. We also assessed whether ethnicity/race adolescent socioeconomic (SES) operated as effect modifiers these relationships. Methods Adolescents ( n =...

Abstract: Background: Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) research often overrepresents White, affluent groups. Of additional concern, standard CRF testing can be inaccessible given the specialized equipment heightened participant burden required for maximal effort assessments. To address these barriers, we partnered with community-based professionals conducted field-based, submaximal assessments among a sample of young adults enrolled in Project EAT (Eating Activity over...
