BACKGROUND: Use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) among adolescents has increased since their introduction into the US market in 2007. Little is known about role e-cigarette psychosocial factors on risk or cigarette use adolescence. METHODS: Information and (use attitudes home friends) was collected from 11th- 12th-grade participants Southern California Children’s Health Study during spring 2014. RESULTS: Of 2084 participants, 499 (24.0%) had used an e-cigarette, including 200 (9.6%)...
Adolescent e-cigarette use has increased rapidly in recent years, but it is unclear whether e-cigarettes are merely substituting for cigarettes or being used by those who would not otherwise have smoked. To understand the role of overall tobacco product use, we examine prevalence rates from Southern California adolescents over 2 decades.The Children's Health Study a longitudinal study cohorts reaching 12th grade 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, and 2014. Cohorts were enrolled entire classrooms...
We investigated how childhood-to-adulthood perceived stress patterns predict adult cardiometabolic risk.
Few studies have examined the effects of long-term childhood air pollution exposure on adult respiratory health, including whether underlie this relation.
Importance Emerging evidence suggests that exposure to air pollution affects children’s glucose metabolism. However, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. Objective To investigate whether body mass index (BMI; calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height meters squared) growth trajectories mediate association between traffic-related (TRAP) and insulin resistance. Design, Setting, Participants As part of Southern California Children’s Health Study, ongoing Meta-Air2...
This study investigated the association of American Heart Association's cardiovascular health guidelines Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and Simple 7 (LS7) with carotid artery outcomes among young adults.
Background: Previous studies have shown maternal exposure to Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) during pregnancy be associated with birthweight infant body composition. Childhood obesity rates among Hispanic African American populations continue rise understanding the role of modifiable chemical exposures may reduce burden childhood obesity. Methods: Maternal blood samples collected at a mean 18.8±9.0 weeks gestation from 34 predominantly (76.5%) pregnant mothers (mean age...
