Acculturating to multiculturalism: a new dimension of dietary acculturation among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women in the San Francisco Bay Area, USA | BMC Public Health
Abstract Dietary acculturation is the process by which diet and dietary practises from the environment of origin are retained or changed and/or those prevalent in a new environment are adopted. Despite rapid population growth the U.S., knowledge gaps exist on characterising dietary acculturation among Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander communities (AANHPI). This study characterise dietary patterns in a sample representative of AANHPI on key demographic characteristics.

As part of the Asian American Community Health Initiative, we conducted a case-control study of breast cancer in the San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose Bay Area. The control group (i.e., women without breast cancer) from that study, which was recruited between March 2013 and October 2014, comprises the sample for the present analysis. Women were frequency-matched to cases on age- (five-year intervals) and ethnicity (Chinese, Filipinx, and other Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander).
Association between Neighborhood Stressors and Allostatic Load in Breast Cancer Survivors: The Pathways Study
Allostatic load (AL) is an intermediary outcome through which neighborhood drivers of health may impact cancer survivorship outcomes. We examined associations of neighborhood stressors and AL in 2,553 women with breast cancer recruited into the Pathways Study in 2006-2013. AL score was derived from biomarkers in the cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune domains of physiological stress measured within 3 years after baseline.
Cancer among Immigrants: Diverse Histories, Diverse Disparities, Diverse Opportunities to Promote Equity
Immigrants–people who live in a country different from their country of birth–constitute approximately 250 million people globally. Migrants are diverse in their reasons for immigration, ranging from those who are forced to flee their home country for survival, to those seeking a better life. Migrants face diverse barriers in access to care.
School Racial Segregation and the Health of Black Children
In this study, we found that recent school resegregation resulting from school districts being released from Brown v Board of Education desegregation orders is associated with increased behavioral problems among Black school-aged children and alcohol drinking behaviors, especially among girls.
Neighborhood Obesogenic Environment and Risk of Prostate Cancer: The Multiethnic Cohort
Obesity is associated with risk of aggressive prostate cancer. It is not known whether neighborhood obesogenic factors are independently associated with prostate cancer risk.
Cancer Epidemiology in Hispanic Populations: What Have We Learned and Where Do We Need to Make Progress?
The Hispanic/Latino(x) population (H/L) in the United States of America is heterogeneous and fast growing. Cancer is the number one cause of death among H/Ls, accounting for 21% of deaths. Whereas for the most common cancers, incidence rates are lower in H/Ls compared with non-H/L White (NHW) individuals, H/Ls have a higher incidence of liver, stomach, cervical, penile, and gallbladder cancers.
