What Sub-Saharan African Nations Can Teach the U.S. About Black Maternal Health
While poor maternal outcomes among Black women in the U.S. is not new, improving it is imperative. U.S. policymakers can look to sub-Saharan Africa for guidance on reversing this trend. Credit: Ernest Ankomah/IPSBy Ifeanyi NsoforABUJA, Jun 2 2023 (IPS) New research shows that Black mothers in the United States disproportionately live in counties with higher maternal vulnerability and face greater risk of preterm death for the fetus, greater risk of low birth weight for a baby, and a higher number of maternal deaths. While poor maternal outcomes among Black women in the U.S. is not new, improving it is imperative. U.S. poli...

Association between hysterectomy status and stroke risk and cause-specific and all-cause mortality: evidence from the 2005 –2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
ConclusionOur study found a significant association between hysterectomy and stroke, even after adjusting for other factors that could impact risk, such as the American Heart Association (AHA)'s Life's Simple 7 cardiovascular health score and variables of age, ethnicity, marital status, income, education, and depression severity.

Prevalence and risk factors of retinal vein occlusion in the United States: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2005 to 2008
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2023 Feb 14;36(3):335-340. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2023.2173938. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTRetinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a rare, vision-threatening vascular disorder. Due to limited recovery associated with RVO, prevention is essential. There is a significant discrepancy in previously reported epidemiological studies in the United States on the prevalence and risk factors of RVO. The purpose of this retrospective, cross-sectional study was to determine the prevalence and risk factors of RVO in adults ≥40 years of age in the US using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2...

Recommended and Observed Statin Use among U.S. Adults – National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2018
Heart disease and stroke are the first and fifth leading causes of death in the United States.1 A leading risk factor for both conditions, high blood cholesterol levels are positively associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).2-5 The 2013 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) Guideline on the Treatment of Blood Cholesterol to Reduce Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Risk in Adults (2013 Cholesterol Guideline) eliminated specific LDL-c treatment targets, shifted treatment focus to use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins), identified four patient groups most likely to bene...

Association of an evolutionary-concordance lifestyle pattern score with cardiovascular disease incidence among Black and White men and women
Br J Nutr. 2022 Aug 9:1-28. doi: 10.1017/S0007114522002549. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDietary and lifestyle evolutionary discordance is hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke. We aimed to investigate associations of a previously-reported, total (dietary plus lifestyle) evolutionary-concordance (EC) pattern score with incident CVD, CHD, and stroke. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression to investigate associations of the EC score with CVD, CHD, and stroke incidence among United States Black and White men and women...

Association Between Sleep Duration and Sleep Disorder Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and Stroke Among Adults in the United States
CONCLUSIONS Short sleep duration and sleep disorder were associated with an increased risk of stroke, suggesting healthy sleep behaviors may reduce the risk of stroke. However, further studies are needed to confirm the causality and underlying mechanism.PMID:35780293 | DOI:10.12659/MSM.936384
