Filter by:Though the Mississippi Delta has a rich agricultural history and some of the nation's most fertile soil, residents have experienced the legacy of slavery and economic exploitation through food insecurity and poverty for generations. This project focuses on Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower, contiguous counties in the Delta that are designated as health disparity populations. Over 65% of the 100,000 residents are Black/African American and ~30% live at or below the poverty level. Obesity rates are high and the rate of diabetes is almost double the national average. Tufts University received a grant from the National Institute of Minority Health and Health Disparities to develop, test, and evaluate a Food is Medicine program in Mississippi. The Delta Growing a Resilient, Enriching, Equitable, Nourishing food System (GREENS) Food is Medicine (FIM) Project, is a collaborative project in Bolivar, Washington, and Sunflower counties in Mississippi. The intervention involves regularly distributed fruit and vegetable produce boxes as well as nutrition education materials to the intervention group. The control group will receive produce boxes later, after they complete study activities. The project's primary goal is to improve health outcomes by creating a FIM intervention. The Delta GREENS FIM Project aims to become a model for promoting nutrition security and management of chronic conditions in varied communities nationwide.
The main objective is to implement of a community-based primary care intervention against high blood pressure. We want to show that this intervention decreases the incidence of stroke in the community of agglomerations of the central coast of French Guiana, with a rapid effectiveness of about -30% at 2 years.
The DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) have been proven to lower risk of cardiovascular diseases. But the DASH diet is inconsistent with Chinese dietary pattern. In this study, based on the typical Cantonese diet, the healthy Cantonese diet is developed according to the DASH diet and the balanced dietary pattern of the Chinese Dietary Guidelines 2016. The randomized control trial is designed to investigate whether the healthy Cantonese diet has benefit to blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose and other cardiometabolic biomarkers among adults with cardiometabolic syndrome in Guangdong, China.
Evaluation of safety, tolerability and superiority of RK-01, a valsartan plus celecoxib dual add-on to metformin-HCL XR over metformin in newly diagnosed and obese adult type 2 diabetes patients with high blood pressure, arthritis and inadequate glycemic control with metformin monotherapy, diet and exercise over 26 weeks of treatment. Objective: To assess effect of RK-01 on HbA1c levels, beta cell function and insulin resistance with co-administration of valsartan, celecoxib and metformin-HCl XR relative to metformin monotherapy. Hypothesis: After 26 weeks of treatment with valsartan, celecoxib and metformin-HCl XR provides greater improvements in glycemic, inflammatory and atherogenic parameters compared to metformin monotherapy.
Social deprivation during pregnancy is associated to adverse perinatal outcomes. However, prenatal screening of social deprivation by reliable measurement is not performed. Prevalence of social deprivation is yet underestimated during pregnancy and vulnerable women are not being provided optimal prenatal care. Our aim is to validate EPICES score during pregnancy.
