Obesity in Pregnancy
2009, Primary Care - Clinics in Office PracticeCitation Excerpt :The relationship of increasing pregnancy weight gain and pregnancy-induced hypertension has been fairly well established.61 Pregnancy-induced hypertension disorders, in particular pre-eclampsia, occur most often in obese women.70,82–84 Obese women with BMI greater than or equal to 29 prepregnancy are 2.2 times and 2.1 times more likely to develop gestational hypertension and pre-eclampsia, respectively, compared with normal-weight women.85
Nondisease factors affected trajectories of disability in a prospective study
2005, Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :Next to reducing premature mortality, reducing disability has therefore become an opportunity and major aim of public health research and policy. Alongside disease prevention, the focus of public health research and policy should be on the so-called nondisease factors that affect disability [3,7–14]. To date, most research on determinants of disability change has been based on the measurement of disability at two points in time.
Differences between African Americans and whites in the outcome of heart failure: Evidence for a greater functional decline in African Americans
2002, American Heart JournalCitation Excerpt :We also hypothesized that disparities in quality of care would explain further outcome differences, but this hypothesis was also not met because of the fact that quality of care did not differ substantially by race. In community samples, African Americans have higher rates of functional disability and age-related functional decline compared with whites.59-63 Therefore, the greater functional decline observed in our study could be a reflection of a more general risk for African Americans of becoming disabled in the presence of other health problems.
