Greater levels of socioeconomic position (SEP) are generally associated with better health. However results from previous studies vary across race/ethnicity and health outcomes. Further, the majority of previous studies do not account for the effects of life course SEP on health nor the effects of racial discrimination, which could moderate the effects of SEP on health. Using data from the Coro...

OBJECTIVE To examine the prospective association of depressive symptoms with circulating C-reactive protein (CRP) and to determine the direction of that association. METHODS Using data from 2,544 healthy participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study (ages, 33-45 years; 55% female; 42% black), we examined the prospective association of depressive symptoms, as measu...

BACKGROUND It was hypothesized that television viewing is predictive of cardiometabolic risk. Moreover, people with hostile personality type may be more susceptible to TV-induced negative emotions and harmful health habits which increase occurrence of cardiometabolic risk. PURPOSE The prospective association of TV viewing on cardiometabolic risk was examined along with whether hostile persona...

Despite mounting evidence that sleep duration is a risk factor across diverse health and functional domains, little is known about the distribution and determinants of sleep. In 2003-2004, the authors used wrist activity monitoring and sleep logs to measure time in bed, sleep latency (time required to fall asleep), sleep duration, and sleep efficiency (percentage of time in bed spent sleeping) ...

Unlike distributed data entry, which is used in many large epidemiologic studies and multicenter clinical trials, distributed data analysis is a relatively new concept. This paper reports on the usefulness of such a system in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. CARDIA distributes the entire examination dataset to participating centers soon after completion of ea...

Numerous studies have found an association between shorter sleep duration and higher body mass index (BMI) in adults. Most previous studies have been cross-sectional and relied on self-reported sleep duration, which may not be very accurate. In the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Sleep Study (2000-2006), the authors examine whether objectively measured sleep is associa...

Unfortunately, the concern which is expressed for the welfare and the health of the elderly contradicts the actions undertaken for their health and welfare. The psychological research conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic rarely includes the people over 60 years old. Hence, the purpose of the cur...

Laboratory bioassays were carried out to evaluate the insecticidal efficacy of SilicoSec? against 7 - 14 day old adults, old and young larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) with the mean ? SE (n = 30) weight of 3.4 ? 0.1 and 0.6 ? 0.1 mg, respectively at 27?C and 55 ? 5% RH. Wheat treated with four dose rates of SilicoSec? and untreated wheat served as a control with three replications. Adult?...
