Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination
The marginalization of groups based on socially constructed categories of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and other identities produces biological consequences that contribute to health disparities in a variety of diseases and conditions, including many under the purview of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). For example, substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in obesity, diabetes, and end-stage kidney disease. Racism, marginalization, and discrimination (RMD) is embedded into the structure of American society, which increases exposure to adverse social determ...

IIG Seminar - The gut-lung axis: how perturbation of the microbiome influences allergic airway inflammation
The microbiota plays an essential role in the education, development, and function of the immune system, both locally and systemically. Emerging experimental and epidemiological evidence highlights a cross-talk between the intestinal microbiota and the lungs, termed the ‘ gut – lung axis ’ . Changes in the constituents of the gut microbiome, through either diet, disease or medical interventions (such as early life antibiotics) is linked with altered immune responses and homeostasis in the airways. The importance of the gut – lung axis has become more evident following the identification of several gut microbe-deriv...

Advancing Cardiovascular Health Equity Through Culture-Centered Dietary Interventions: Research Gaps and Opportunities (Day 2)
Adherence to evidence-based dietary approaches, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and Mediterranean diet, is associated with a multitude of health benefits, including lowered blood pressure, improved lipid profiles, reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence, and decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.1-5 Also, adherence to healthy dietary patterns is associated with decrease risk for several cancers and cancer mortality. 6, 7 Yet, the strength of these associations varies by race and ethnicity, though results have been inconsistent; and there are racial and ethnic differences in adherence to t...
