Filter by:To conduct focused studies of lipoprotein physiology and pathophysiology in genetically characterized patients with the objectives of understanding disease mechanisms, developing better treatments, and identifying and preventing early vascular disease.
To continue the work of the Collaborative Studies Coordinating Center (CSCC) on international studies in cardiopulmonary disease epidemiology. The work was being performed under bilateral agreements that the NHLBI had entered into with Russia, The People's Republic of China and Pakistan. The contract provided nutritional, epidemiologic and biostatistical services in support of these studies.
To develop a comprehensive database publication (databook) utilizing available published and unpublished data on the prevalence of hypertension and its treatment and control in selected minority populations in the United States -- Hispanic, Asian and American Indian.
To determine the prevalence and longitudinal course of sleep apnea among men and women and to examine the associations of apnea, oxygen desaturation, snoring, high blood pressure, and other biomedical correlates.
To test whether sleep-disordered breathing is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, all-cause mortality, and hypertension. The multicenter, longitudinal study draws on existing, well-characterized, and established epidemiologic cohorts.
To determine the prevalence and natural history of pulmonary and cardiac complications associated with HIV infection in utero, in infancy, and during early childhood.
To evaluate the relationships between smoking rate, gender, and body weight in the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination I Survey (HHANES) I. Also, to evaluate the independent and additive contribution of smoking rate and fasting glucose on body weight in HHANES I and NHANES II.
To investigate the relationship between dietary factors, especially macronutrients, and blood pressure in an international, multicenter observational study. A particular focus is to help elucidate the role of these dietary factors in accounting for the even more adverse blood pressure patterns of less educated population strata, especially in the United States, in both less educated Blacks and whites.
To map the major genetic loci underlying hypertension in approximately 1700 sibling pairs of Asian-Pacific Chinese and Japanese origin. The study consists of a two grant network, which in turn is part of an NHLBI initiative, the Family Blood Pressure Program (FBPP) consisting of four networks.
To localize, identify, and evaluate common polymorphic variation in genes involved in determining interindividual differences in blood pressure (BP) levels and essential hypertension status in three racial groups: African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Non-Hispanic Whites. The study consists of a six grant network, which in turn is part of an NHLBI initiative, the Family Blood Pressure Program (FBPP) consisting of four networks.
