A scalable climate health justice assessment model
Publication date: May 2015 Source:Social Science & Medicine, Volume 133 Author(s): Yolanda J. McDonald , Sara E. Grineski , Timothy W.

Childhood Trauma and Adult Risk Factors and Disease in Hispanics/Latinos in the US: Results From the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) Sociocultural Ancillary Study
Conclusions: Adverse childhood experiences are prevalent among US Hispanics/Latinos and are involved in disease in adulthood. The apparent higher prevalence of ACEs in US Hispanics/Latinos did not correspond with stronger associations with disease. Further studies are needed to identify factors that may moderate the associations of ACE with adult disease.

Reaction times match IQ for major causes of mortality: Evidence from a population based prospective cohort study.
Conclusion: The association between intelligence with mortality from the major causes is also seen with reaction times. That effect sizes are of similar magnitude is suggestive of a common cause. It also implies that the association of cognitive ability with mortality is unlikely to be due to any social, cultural or educational biases that are sometimes ascribed to intelligence measures.

Annual variation in Internet keyword searches: Linking dieting interest to obesity and negative health outcomes
This study investigated the annual variation in Internet searches regarding dieting. Time-series analysis was first used to examine the annual trends of Google keyword searches during the past 7 years for topics related to dieting within the United States. The results indicated that keyword searches for dieting fit a consistent 12-month linear model, peaking in January (following New Year’s Eve) and then linearly decreasing until surging again the following January. Additional state-level analyses revealed that the size of the December–January dieting-related keyword surge was predictive of both obesity and mor...

Increased depression risk among patients with chronic osteomyelitis
Inflammatory processes, which provoke alternations of neurotransmitter metabolism, neuroendocrine function, and neuroplasticity in the brain, might promote depression. In depression patients who do not exhibit risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, Parkinson's disease and dementia, particularly in young people, inflammation is a likely risk factor for depression. We explored whether chronic osteomyelitis (COM), a chronic inflammatory disease, increases depression risk.
