Racial disparities in the use of ancillary testing to evaluate individuals with open-angle glaucoma.
OBJECTIVE To determine whether racial disparities exist in the use of ancillary testing to evaluate individuals with open-angle glaucoma. METHODS We identified all enrollees aged 40 years and older in a large US managed care network with retinal or optic nerve conditions that could warrant the use of ancillary testing. Among persons with open-angle glaucoma or glaucoma suspects, we performed ...
OBJECTIVE This report provides an updated description of trends and patterns in first premarital cohabitations among women aged 15-44 in the United States using the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG). Trends in pregnancies within first premarital cohabiting unions and differences by Hispanic origin and race, and education are also presented. METHODS Data for 2006-2010 were collected thro...
The prevalence of obesity among black women in America is higher than it is in most other subgroups. In 2005–2006, 52.9% of non-Hispanic black women aged 20 y were obese compared with 37.2% of non-Hispanic black men and 32.9% of nonHispanic white women. Moreover, the highest prevalence of extreme obesity, 13.7%, was found among non-Hispanic black women. This compares with 5.9% among black men a...
BACKGROUND Prior national surveys capture smoking behaviors of the aggregated U.S. Hispanic/Latino population, possibly obscuring subgroup variation. PURPOSE To describe cigarette use among Hispanic/Latino adults across subgroups of age, gender, national background, SES, birthplace, and degree of acculturation to the dominant U.S. culture. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of 16,322 particip...
To assess differences in the receipt of preventive health services by race/ethnicity among older women with endometrial cancer enrolled in Medicare, we conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study of women diagnosed with endometrial cancer from 2001 to 2011 in the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database. Women with stage I or II endometrial cancer of epithe...

METHODS The National Survey of Family Growth provides detailed data on the cohabitation and fertility histories of American women. Life-table techniques, event-histor...
OBJECTIVE To evaluate racial and ethnic differences in the association between a dietary diabetes risk reduction score and incidence of type 2 diabetes in U.S. white and minority women. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We followed 156,030 non-Hispanic white (NHW), 2,026 Asian, 2,053 Hispanic, and 2,307 black women in the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (1980-2008) and NHS II (1991-2009). A time-updated...

We examined whether the increasing incidence and mortality from endometrial cancer are equally distributed by race/ethnicity and tumor histologic subtype. METHODS Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) endometrial cancer incidence and mortality d...
PURPOSE Popular generalized equations for estimating percent body fat (BF%) developed with cross-sectional data are biased when applied to racially/ethnically diverse populations. We developed accurate anthropometric models to estimate dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry BF% (DXA-BF%) that can be generalized to ethnically diverse young adults in both cross-sectional and longitudinal field settings...
BACKGROUND/INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to examine the race/ethnicity bias of using waist circumference (WC) to estimate abdominal fat. METHODS A total of 771 females and 484 males (17-35 yr) were tested one to three times during a prescribed 30-wk aerobic exercise program.
