The Science of Precision Prevention: Research Opportunities and Clinical Applications to Reduce Cardiovascular Health Disparities
Precision prevention embraces personalized prevention but includes broader factors such as social determinants of health to improve cardiovascular health. The quality, quantity, precision, and diversity of data relatable to individuals and communities continue to expand. New analytical methods can be applied to these data to create tools to attribute risk, which may allow a better understanding of cardiovascular health disparities. Interventions using these analytic tools should be evaluated to establish feasibility and efficacy for addressing cardiovascular disease disparities in diverse individuals and communities. Training in these approaches is important to create the next generation of scientists and practitioners in precision prevention. This state-of-the-art review is based on a workshop convened to identify current gaps in knowledge and methods used in precision prevention intervention research, discuss …

Cohort profile: Life-course experiences and pregnancy (LEAP)–A retrospective pregnancy cohort for life-course reproductive health research
Background Life course factors may be associated with pre-pregnancy body mass index and gestational weight gain; however, collecting information on pre-pregnancy exposures and pregnancy health in the same cohort is challenging. Objectives The Life-course Experiences And Pregnancy (LEAP) study aims to identify adolescent and young adult risk factors for pre-pregnancy weight and gestational weight gain (GWG). We built upon an existing cohort study to overcome challenges inherent to studying life course determinants of pregnancy health. Population Participants in an ongoing prospective cohort study of weight-related health who identified as women. Design Retrospective cohort study. Methods In 2019–2020, 1,252 women participating since adolescence in a cohort study of weight-related health were invited to complete an online reproductive history survey. Participants who reported a live birth were invited to release their prenatal, delivery, and postpartum medical records for validation of survey reports. Descriptive analyses were conducted to assess the characteristics of the overall cohort and the medical record validation subsample, and to describe adolescent and young adult characteristics of those with high (>80th percentile), moderate (20th-80th percentile), and low (<20th percentile) GWG z-score for gestational age and pre-pregnancy weight status. Preliminary results Nine hundred seventy-seven women (78%) completed the LEAP survey and 656 reported a live birth. Of these, 379 (58%) agreed to release medical records, and 250 records were abstracted (66% of the 379). Of the 977 survey respondents 769 (79 …

Associations of regular consumption of breakfast, lunch, and dinner with BMI during adolescence: Longitudinal findings by weight status among the EAT 2010-2018 cohort
ObjectiveTo examine how the associations between meal consumption and body mass index (BMI) over 8 years differ by weight status in a sample of adolescents.DesignLongitudinal, population-based study. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner consumption and BMI were self-reported. Linear regressions were used to examine how the associations between meal consumption and BMI differed by weight status.SettingAdolescents in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area.ParticipantsAdolescents (N=1,471) were surveyed as part of the EAT 2010-2018 in 2009-2010 (Mage=14.3 years) and 2017-2018 (Mage=22.0 years).ResultsThe prevalence of regular breakfast, lunch, and dinner consumption (≥ 5 times/week) ranged from 45-65%, 75-89%, and 76-94%, respectively, depending on weight status category. Among adolescents with a sex and age-specific BMI <15th percentile, regular consumptions of breakfast, lunch …

Changes in diet quality across life transitions from adolescence to early adulthood: a latent growth analysis
Background Adolescence to early adulthood is a period of multiple education-, employment- and family-related life transitions. Changing resources and food environments within the context of these transitions could contribute to significant changes in diet, which persist into later adulthood. This study investigated diet quality trajectories from age 15 to 31 years and changes in diet quality associated with life transitions, by sex. Methods Data from the Project EAT (Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults) study were used to examine diet quality among a longitudinal cohort (n=2,524) across four waves (mean ages of 15, 19, 25 and 31 years). Diet quality was evaluated using the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) index. Life transitions were assessed by changes in life circumstances between pairs of waves, including leaving the parental home, leaving full-time education, beginning full-time employment, cohabitating with a partner, and becoming a parent. Average within-person changes in DASH scores were analysed by sex-specific latent growth models, incorporating underlying growth trajectories, five life transitions and baseline socio-demographic characteristics. Results Both sexes followed a quadratic trajectory of DASH scores, showing decreases in diet quality from waves 1 to 2 followed by increases until wave 4. Compared to females, males had worse diet quality at wave 1, and this sex difference widened at wave 4. Leaving the parental home between waves 1 and 2 was associated with transient decreases in diet quality at wave 2 only for males. For females, cohabitating with a partner and becoming a parent between …

A three-arm randomized controlled trial using ecological momentary intervention, community health workers, and video feedback at family meals to improve child cardiovascular …
BackgroundNumerous observational studies show associations between family meal frequency and markers of child cardiovascular health including healthful diet quality and lower weight status. Some studies also show the “quality” of family meals, including dietary quality of the food served and the interpersonal atmosphere during meals, is associated with markers of child cardiovascular health. Additionally, prior intervention research indicates that immediate feedback on health behaviors (e.g., ecological momentary intervention (EMI), video feedback) increases the likelihood of behavior change. However, limited studies have tested the combination of these components in a rigorous clinical trial. The main aim of this paper is to describe the Family Matters study design, data collection protocols, measures, intervention components, process evaluation, and analysis plan.Methods/designThe Family Matters …

Personal, behavioural and socio-environmental correlates of emerging adults’ sustainable food consumption in a cross-sectional analysis
Objective Describe how dietary intake patterns of US young adults align with the EAT-Lancet Planetary Health Diet (PHD) sustainable diet goals and identify personal, behavioural, and socio-environmental correlates of sustainable intake. Design Data on past-year dietary intake were captured using a FFQ. The PHD was applied to specific food groups, and a total PHD score was calculated. Linear regression models were used to identify associations between personal, behavioural and socio-environmental factors and PHD scores. Setting This cross-sectional analysis uses data from the second wave of EAT 2010–2018 (Eating and Activity over Time), a population-based longitudinal study recruited in Minnesota. Participants Ethnically/racially diverse group of participants (n 1308) with a mean age of 22·1 (sd 2·0) years. Results The mean PHD score was 4·1 (sd 1·4) on a scale of 0–14, with 14 …

Leveraging ecological momentary assessment to understand variability in food parenting practices within a low-income racially/ethnically diverse sample of parents of preschoolers
Children's eating behaviors are shaped significantly by their home food environment, including exposure to food parenting practices. The current study leveraged ecological momentary assessment (EMA) to describe how food parenting practices used to feed preschoolers (n = 116) differed across contextual factors around eating, including type of eating occasion (i.e., meals vs. snacks), day of the week (i.e., weekend vs. weekday), who initiated the meal (parent vs. child), emotional climate of the eating occasion. Parent perceptions of how well the eating occasion went, including how well the child ate and whether the food parenting practices worked as intended were also explored. Parent use of specific food parenting practices, situated within four higher-order domains (i.e., structure, autonomy support, coercive control, indulgent), was found to differ by type of eating occasion; parents engaged in a higher …

More than identity: an intersectional approach to understanding mental-emotional well-being of emerging adults by centering lived experiences of marginalization
Understanding social determinants that shape pertinent developmental shifts during emerging adulthood (i.e., ages 18–25 years) and their associations with psychological health requires a nuanced approach. In our exploratory study, we investigated how multiple social identities and lived experiences generated by systems of marginalization and power (e.g., racism, classism, sexism) intersect in connection to the mental-emotional well-being of emerging adults (EAs). Eating and Activity Over Time (EAT, 2010–2018) data were collected from 1,568 EAs (mean age = 22.2 (standard deviation, 2.0) years) recruited initially in 2010 from Minneapolis/St. Paul schools. Conditional inference tree analyses were employed to treat “social location” and systems of marginalization and power as interdependent social factors influencing EAs’ mental-emotional well-being outcomes: depressive symptoms, stress, self-esteem …
