INTRODUCTION: Considerable research has linked many risk factors to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). Without a clear etiology of ADRD, it is advantageous to rank the known risk factors by their importance and determine if disparities exist. Statistical based ranking can provide insight into which risk factors should be further evaluated. METHODS: This observational, population-based study assessed 50 county-level measures and estimates related to ADRD in 3,155 counties in the United States using data from 2010-2021...

INTRODUCTION: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) veterans face numerous challenges due to stigma and marginalization, which have a significant impact on their health and well-being. However, there is insufficient data on cause-specific mortality in TGD veteran populations in the United States. The purpose of this study was to describe the leading causes of death in a sample of TGD veterans who received care from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). METHODS: A secondary data analysis was conducted using VHA electronic health record (EHR) data matched with death certificate records from the National Death Index (NDI) from October 1, 1999 to December 31, 2019...

INTRODUCTION: There are meager individual-level data on long-term predictors of firearm suicide. METHODS: This was an analysis of males (n=189,558) in the Project Talent (PT) cohort, a national probability sample of high school schools in 1960 when students completed a baseline PT self-report inventory. Mortality follow-up was contingent on survival until 1979, the onset of the National Death Index, when the cohort was mean age 35.7. Mortality follow-up continued until death or age 75, reached by all surviving members by 2018...

INTRODUCTION: Investments in historically oppressed neighborhoods through food retail, housing, and commercial development are hypothesized to improve residents' health, nutrition, and perceptions of their neighborhood as a place to live. Although place-based development (e.g., housing, retail, business assistance) is happening in many communities, there is little evidence on the long-term correlates of multiple investments such as health and nutrition among residents. METHODS: We conducted a quasi-experimental longitudinal study using a cohort of randomly sampled households in two low-income, predominantly African American neighborhoods in Pittsburgh, PA, with surveys assessing residents' food insecurity, perception of their neighborhood as a place to live, perception of access to healthy foods, and dietary outcomes in 2011 and seven years later (2018), with an interim assessment in 2014...
