“…But these results further demonstrate how women with diabetes drink less than women in the general population. In our study only 5% of white female diabetics drank five or more drinks in a day versus 17% of women in the U.S. general population (27). …”

Purpose: The drinking practices of a nationally representative sample of White, Black, Mexican American, and other Hispanic adult diabetics are described and compared. Methods: Combined years (2005/2006-2011/2012) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey provided home interview data from 2,220 adults with self-reported diabetes of White (n=875), Black (n=720), Mexican American (n=402), and other Hispanic (n=223) ethnicity. Current drinking status, the number of drinks consumed per week, and binge drinking were compared across ethnicity. Results: The multivariate findings for both diabetic men and women showed no statistically significant ethnic differences in current drinking status and among women, there were no statistically significant ethnic differences in binge drinking. Among male diabetics, Mexican Americans consumed more drinks per week than Whites (b=0.35, 95% CI=0.13-0.58, p=.002) and were at increased risk for binge drinking (OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.30-3.21, p=.002). Conclusions: Binge drinking is prevalent among Mexican American male diabetics. This pattern of drinking may put them at risk for poor diabetes management and control. It is important that health care providers routinely assess their patients’ drinking practices and address the health risks associated with alcohol consumption.

Objective People with serious mental illness (SMI) die at least 11 years earlier than the general U.S. population, on average, due largely to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Disparities in CVD morbidity and mortality also occur among some U.S. racial and ethnic minorities. The combined effect of race/ethnicity and SMI on CVD-related risk factors, however, remains unclear. To address this gap, we conducted a critical literature review of studies assessing the prevalence of CVD risk factors (overweight/obesity, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, cigarette smoking, and physical inactivity) among U.S. racial/ethnic groups with schizophrenia-spectrum and bipolar disorders. Methods and Results We searched MEDLINE and PsycINFO for articles published between 1986 and 2013. The search ultimately yielded 40 articles. There was great variation in sampling, methodology, and study populations. Results were mixed, though there was some evidence for increased risk for obesity and diabetes mellitus among African Americans, and to a lesser degree for Hispanics, compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Sex emerged as an important possible effect modifier of risk, as women had higher CVD risk among all racial/ethnic subgroups where stratified analyses were reported. Conclusions Compared to general population estimates, there was some evidence for an additive risk for CVD risk factors among racial/ethnic minorities with SMI. Future studies should include longitudinal assessment, stratification by sex, subgroup analyses to clarify the mechanisms leading to potentially elevated risk, and the evaluation of culturally appropriate interventions to eliminate the extra burden of disease in this population.

“…The usual ethanol intake (g/wk) was calculated as the sum of the product of the daily frequency of each type of beverage and the typical ethanol content of each type of beverage (4-oz glass of wine: 10.8 g, 12-oz bottle or can of beer: 13.2 g, 1.5-oz shot of hard liquor: 15.1 g 5 . The participants’ drinking status was classified as never or rare, former, current light (0-30 g/wk), current moderate (30-70 g/wk in women and 30-140 g/wk in men) and current heavy (>70 g/wk in women and >140 g/wk in men) 6 . Physical activity was assessed using the Baecke questionnaire 7 and the participants were categorized according to tertiles of the sport index during leisure time.…”

Body mass index at early adulthood, subsequent weight change and cancer incidence and mortality

et al. 2014

Obesity later in adulthood is associated with increased risks of many cancers. However, the effect of body fatness in early adulthood, and change in weight from early to later adulthood on cancer risk later in life is less clear. We used data from 13,901 people aged 45-64 in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort who at baseline (1987-1989) self-reported their weight at the age of 25 and had weight and height measured. Incident cancers were identified through 2006 and cancer deaths were ascertained through 2009. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to relate body mass index (BMI) at age 25 and percent weight change from age 25 to baseline to cancer incidence and mortality. After adjusting for weight change from age 25 until baseline, a 5 kg/m2 increment in BMI at age 25 was associated with a greater risk of incidence of all cancers in women [hazard ratio (95% confidence interval): 1.10 (1.02-1.20)], but not in men. Associations with incident endometrial cancer were strong [1.83 (1.47-2.26)]. After adjusting for BMI at age 25, a 5% increment in weight from age 25 to baseline was associated with a greater risk of incident post-menopausal breast cancer [1.05 (1.02-1.07)] and endometrial cancer [1.09 (1.04-1.14)] in women and incident colorectal cancer [1.05 (1.00-1.10)] in men. Excess weight during young adulthood and weight gain from young to older adulthood may be independently associated with subsequent cancer risk. Excess weight and weight gain in early adulthood should be avoided.
