Investigating the relationship between participation in the building infrastructure leading to diversity (BUILD) initiative and intent to pursue a science career: A cross …
This paper presents an analysis of survey data to examine the association between supervised structured mentoring and students’ intent to pursue a career in science. Data were collected from students in the 10 Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity (BUILD) research training programs, developed through grants from the National Institutes of Health. Propensity score matching and multinomial logistic regression demonstrated that exposure to BUILD programs—meaning participation in undergraduate research, receipt of mentoring from a primary mentor, and/or participation as a funded scholar and/or associate of each BUILD site’s training program—was associated with increased intent to pursue a science career. These findings have implications for STEM program evaluation and practice in higher education.

Understanding the implementation and sustainability needs of evidence-based programs for racial and ethnic minoritized older adults in under-resourced communities with limited …
BackgroundEvidence-based programs (EBPs) for older adults effectively improve health outcomes. However, there is a limited understanding of the unique needs of service providers as they consider adopting, implementing, and maintaining programs for older minority adults in low-income communities with limited aging services.MethodsWe conducted semi-structured interviews with key informants of community-based organizations (CBOs) to understand implementation and sustainability needs of CBOs within four racial and ethnically diverse Los Angeles County geographic areas. We performed thematic analysis of interview transcripts.ResultsInterviews were conducted with representatives from 25 senior-serving agencies providing aging-related EBPs. CBO representatives reported implementing EBPs in 8 domains: Falls Prevention (68%), Mental Health (64%), Caregiver Health (48%), Chronic Disease …

Evidence for the association between adverse childhood family environment, child abuse, and caregiver warmth and cardiovascular health across the lifespan: the Coronary Artery …
BACKGROUND This study aimed to quantify the association between childhood family environment and longitudinal cardiovascular health (CVH) in adult CARDIA (Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults) Study participants. We further investigated whether the association differs by adult income. METHODS We applied the CVH framework from the American Heart Association including metrics for smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose, body mass index, physical activity, and diet. CVH scores (range, 0–14) were calculated at years 0, 7, and 20 of the study. Risky Family environment (range, 7–28) was assessed at year 15 retrospectively, for childhood experiences of abuse, caregiver warmth, and family or household challenges. Complete case ordinal logistic regression and mixed models associated risky family (exposure) with CVH (outcome), adjusting for age, sex, race, and alcohol use …

Personal Health Literacy and Life Simple 7: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
BackgroundPersonal Health literacy (PHL) is essential in cardiovascular risk management. Hindrances in PHL can lead to poor cardiovascular outcomes.PurposeTo investigate whether limited PHL is associated with lower likelihoods of i) overall cardiovascular health and ii) individual cardiovascular health components as defined by the American Heart Association’s Life Simple (LS7).MethodsMulti-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis participants (N = 3719; median age[range]: 59[45–84]) completed a PHL questionnaire in 2016–2018. PHL was classified as limited (score ≥10) or adequate (score <10). LS7 components were measured in 2000–2002. Robust Poisson regression was employed to compute prevalence ratios and 95% confidence intervals (PR[95%CI]) of LS7 measures.Results14.7% of participants had limited PHL. Limited PHL was associated with lower likelihoods of optimal LS7 (0.69[0.50, 0.95], p …

The Relationship of Duffy Gene Polymorphism, High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, and Long-term Outcomes
Black adults have higher incidence of all-cause death and worse cardiovascular outcomes when compared to other populations. The Duffy chemokine receptor is not expressed in a large majority of Black adults and the clinical implications of this are unclear. Here, we investigated the relationship of Duffy receptor status, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), and long-term cardiovascular outcomes in Black members of two contemporary, longitudinal cohort studies (the Jackson Heart Study and Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis). Data on 4,307 Black participants (2,942 Duffy null and 1,365 Duffy receptor positive, as defined using Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) rs2814778) were included in this analysis. Duffy null was not independently associated with elevated levels of serum hs-CRP levels once conditioning for known CRP locus alleles in linkage disequilibrium with the Duffy gene. Duffy null status was not found to be independently associated with higher incidence of all-cause mortality or secondary outcomes after adjusting for possible confounders in Black participants. In conclusion, these findings suggest that increased levels of hs-CRP found in Duffy null individuals is due to co-inheritance of CRP alleles known to influence circulating levels hs-CRP and that Duffy null status was not associated with worse adverse outcomes over the follow-up period in this cohort of well-balanced Black participants.

Towards a consensus definition of allostatic load: a multi-cohort, multi-system, multi-biomarker individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis
BackgroundAllostatic load (AL) is a multi-system composite index for quantifying physiological dysregulation caused by life course stressors. For over 30 years, an extensive body of research has drawn on the AL framework but has been hampered by the lack of a consistent definition.MethodsThis study analyses data for 67,126 individuals aged 40–111 years participating in 13 different cohort studies and 40 biomarkers across 12 physiological systems: hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, sympathetic-adrenal-medullary (SAM) axis, parasympathetic nervous system functioning, oxidative stress, immunological/inflammatory, cardiovascular, respiratory, lipidemia, anthropometric, glucose metabolism, kidney, and liver. We use individual-participant-data meta-analysis and exploit natural heterogeneity in the number and type of biomarkers that have been used across studies, but a common set of health outcomes …

Social relationships and epigenetic aging in older adulthood: Results from the Health and Retirement Study
Growing evidence suggests that social relationship quality can influence age-related health outcomes, although how the quality of one’s relationships directly relates to the underlying aging process is less clear. We hypothesized that the absence of close relationships as well as lower support and higher strain within existing relationships would be associated with an accelerated epigenetic aging profile among older adults in the Health and Retirement Study. Adults (N = 3,647) aged 50–100 years completed ratings of support and strain in relationships with their spouse, children, other family members, and friends. They also provided a blood sample that was used for DNA methylation profiling to calculate a priori-specified epigenetic aging measures: Horvath, Hannum, PhenoAge, GrimAge, and Dunedin Pace of Aging methylation (DunedinPoAm38). Generalized linear models that adjusted for chronological age, sex …

Social genomics, cognition, and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic
METHODS:We studied 171 community-dwelling older adults from the Wake Forest Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center who answered questions via a telephone questionnaire battery about their perceived stress, loneliness, well-being, and impact of COVID-19 on their life, and who provided a self-collected dried blood spot sample. Of those, 148 had adequate samples for mRNA analysis, and 143 were included in the final analysis, which including participants adjudicated as having normal cognition (NC, n= 91) or mild cognitive impairment (MCI, n= 52) were included in the analysis. Mixed effect linear models were used to quantify associations between psychosocial variables and CTRA gene expression.RESULTS:In both NC and MCI groups, eudaimonic well-being (typically associated with a sense of purpose) was inversely associated with CTRA gene expression whereas hedonic well-being (typically …
