Difficult Family Relationships, Residential Greenspace, and Childhood Asthma.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Both the social environment and the physical environment are increasingly recognized as important to childhood diseases such as asthma. This study tested a novel hypothesis: that living in areas high in greenspace may help buffer the effects of difficult family relationships for children with asthma. METHODS A total of 150 children (ages 9-17), physician-diagnosed wi...
متن کاملVentricular arterial stiffening: integrating the pathophysiology.
Vascular stiffening of the large arteries is a common feature of aging and is exacerbated by many common disorders such as hypertension, diabetes, and renal disease. This change influences the phasic mechanical stresses imposed on the blood vessels that in turn is important to regulating smooth muscle tone, endothelial function, and vascular health. In addition, the heart typically adapts to co...
متن کاملUsing Residential Sorting Behavior to Better Understand the Relationship Between Urban Greenspace and Health
A recent wave of research in public health finds associations between the proximity of an individual to greenspace and various health outcomes, including obesity, cardiovascular disease rates, depression, and anxiety. Based on these associations, it is sometimes assumed that better access to parks will lead to improved health outcomes. My project addresses this assumption by focusing on an issu...
متن کاملContinuous smoking and progression of arterial stiffening: a prospective study.
OBJECTIVES We prospectively and longitudinally determined the effects of smoking on the progression of arterial stiffening as well as the involvement of inflammation in this process. BACKGROUND Smoking is an important avoidable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and arterial stiffness might be involved in the pathophysiology. No prospective study has examined the effect of continuous smo...
متن کاملArterial Stiffening and Clinical Outcomes in Dialysis Patients.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is more efficient to handily assess arteriosclerosis than aortic PWV. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is also a novel blood pressure-independent arterial stiffness parameter. In dialysis patients, both baPWV and CAVI are increased compared to gene...
