Assessment of Risk Factors for Health Disparities among Latina Farm WorkersCynthia CurlLisa MeierottoRebecca Som Castellano
This study aims to bridge the gap between medical and psychosocial factors in predicting hospitalisation by identifying these factors within pre-frail and frail individuals. By highlighting disparities between hospitalised pre-frail and frail individuals, we seek to gain insights into both risk and prote...
Physical HealthBackground: Little is known about risk factors associated with poor health among employees with COPD living in Central Appalachia. Purpose: Determine variability in health distress based on risk factors, including race and income, among employees with COPD from Central Appalachian U.S....
Such disparities not only result in negative health outcomes for individuals, but may also result in multiple needs for long-term care within families, placing family caregivers at risk in terms of their own physical and emotional well-being. This article identifies a tool, the Caregiver Risk ...
Women's health conditions are influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Understanding these factors individually and their interactions is crucial for implementing preventative, personalized medicine. However, since genetics and environmental exposures, particularly social determinants of health (SDoH...
This article explores the interaction between caregiver risk, family caregiving capacity, and health disparities. Such disparities not only result in negative health outcomes for individuals, but may also result in multiple needs for long-term care within families, placing family caregivers at risk in...
This article examines the associations between education, a primary indicator of social class, and six risk factors for disease. Data are presented on a sample of 3,349 individuals ages 25–74 years who participated in one of four cross-sectional surveys conducted by the Stanford Five-City Proje...
The impact of genetic variation on overall disease burden has not been comprehensively evaluated. We introduce an approach to estimate the effect of genetic risk factors on disability-adjusted life years (DALYs; ‘lost healthy life years’). We use genet
16 Neither this study nor the referenced studies were able to adjust for socioeconomic status and structural disparities that are potential risk factors associated with overall mortality. The multivariable regression results showed that the odds of in-hospital mortality increased linearly with age, with...
The researchers recommended that clinical model development should include assessments of fairness criteria to help gain insights into how removing factors like race and ethnicity may impact health inequities. This research comes as healthcare providers grow increasingly concerned ...
