<h3>Importance</h3> The incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is increasing worldwide, with the most rapid increase among children younger than 5 years age. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine associations between perinatal and infant exposures, especially early diet, development T1DM. <h3>Design</h3> Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in Young (DAISY) a longitudinal, observational study. <h3>Setting</h3> Newborn screening for human leukocyte antigen (HLA) was done at St. Joseph's Hospital Denver,...
We examined the association between plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentration and islet autoimmunity (IA) whether vitamin gene polymorphisms modify effect of 25(OH)D on IA risk. followed 8,676 children at increased genetic risk type 1 diabetes six sites in U.S. Europe. defined as positivity for least one autoantibody (GADA, IAA, or IA-2A) two more visits. conducted a set sampled nested case-control study 376 case subjects up to 3 control per subject. was measured all samples prior...
In the U.S. and globally, dominant metrics of contraceptive access focus on use certain methods do not address self-defined need for contraception; therefore, these fail to attend person-centeredness, a key component healthcare quality. This study addresses this gap by presenting new data from preferred method use, person-centered indicator. Additionally, we examine association between aspects use. We fielded nationally representative survey in English Spanish 2022, surveying non-sterile...
Background Cow's milk intake has been inconsistently associated with islet autoimmunity (IA) and type 1 diabetes (T1D) development. Genetic environmental factors may modify the effect of cow's on IA T1D risk. Methods The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study in Young (DAISY) follows children at increased risk (presence autoantibodies to insulin, GAD65, or IA-2 twice succession) We examined 1835 DAISY data intake: 143 developed IA, 40 subsequently T1D. protein lactose were calculated from prospectively...
Meta-analyses of observational studies have shown that women with a shorter interpregnancy interval (the time from delivery to start subsequent pregnancy) are more likely experience adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm or small for gestational age birth, than who space their births further apart. However, the used inform these estimates methodological shortcomings.In this commentary, we summarise discussions an expert workgroup describing good practices design, analysis, and...
Vitamin D metabolism genes have been associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk; however, these not investigated for association the preclinical phase of T1D, islet autoimmunity (IA). Studies vitamin may elucidate role in complex diseases.The objective study was to explore between seven gene single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and risk IA progression T1D.The Diabetes Autoimmunity Study Young is a longitudinal, observational study.Newborn screening human leukocyte antigen, sibling...
The Person-Centered Contraceptive Care measure (PCCC) evaluates patient experience of contraceptive counseling, a construct not represented within United States surveillance metrics care. We explore use PCCC in national probability sample and examine predictors person-centered care.Among 2228 women from the 2017-2019 National Survey Family Growth who reported receiving care last year, we conducted univariate multivariable linear regression to identify associations between individual...
Abstract Background Previous research has found self-efficacy is associated with reproductive health behaviors and outcomes. However, few studies have quantitatively examined the relationship between barriers accessing contraception self-efficacy. In addition, existing population-level metrics of contraceptive access tend to focus on method availability, uptake, use, rather than people’s self-defined needs preferences. This study uses person-centered assess experiencing a recent challenge or...
Abstract Background The World Health Organization ( WHO ) recommends that women wait at least 24 months after a livebirth before attempting subsequent pregnancy to reduce the risk of adverse maternal, perinatal, and infant health outcomes. However, applicability recommendations for in United States is unclear, as breast feeding, nutrition, maternal age first birth, total fertility rate differs substantially between low‐ middle‐resource countries upon which most evidence based. Methods To...
Previously, we examined 20 non-HLA SNPs for association with islet autoimmunity (IA) and/or progression to type 1 diabetes (T1D). Our objective was investigate fourteen additional T1D candidate stage- and age-related heterogeneity in the etiology of T1D. Of 1634 non-Hispanic white DAISY children genotyped, 132 developed IA (positive GAD, insulin, or IA-2 autoantibodies at two more consecutive visits); 50 positive progressed Cox regression used analyze risk children. Restricted cubic splines...
To describe characteristics of U.S. contraceptive non-users to inform tailored access initiatives.We used National Survey Family Growth data from 2011 2017 identify compared other women ages 15-44 at risk for unintended pregnancy. We also examined reasons not using contraception by when expected their next birth. calculated unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios two definitions non-use: (1) non-use during the interview month, (2) a more refined definition based on use most recent month...
