Health Disparities in Rheumatology in the United States.
Open Access Rheumatol
January 2025
Advocate Health Medical Group, Franklin, WI, USA.
Objective: Underserved populations are often at risk of experiencing systematic healthcare disparities. Existing disparities in care access, quality of care received, and treatment outcomes among patients with rheumatic disease are not well understood.
Methods: We conducted a targeted literature review to understand disparities in health outcomes, treatment patterns, and healthcare management faced by rheumatology patients in the United States, with a focus on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Racial and Ethnic Disparity in the Administration of General Anesthesia.
Anesth Crit Care
October 2024
Department of Translational Research, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific, Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona CA 91766, USA.
Healthcare disparities continue to affect communities in the United States that are racially and ethnically diverse, disabled, and economically disadvantaged, even though medical and technological advancements have made great strides in these areas. Disparities in health outcomes and difficulties obtaining care for both acute and chronic illnesses are more common among these populations when compared to the overall population. Disparities in anesthesia care delivery have been documented in multiple studies, and they are based on factors such as patients' racial/ethnic background, gender, sexual orientation, ability to communicate in English, and accessibility to health insurance.

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate potential sources of heterogeneity in the effect of calorie labeling on fast-food purchases among restaurants located in areas with different neighborhood characteristics.
Methods: In a quasi-experimental design, using transaction data from 2329 Taco Bell restaurants across the United States between 2008 and 2014, we estimated the relationships of census tract-level income, racial and ethnic composition, and urbanicity with the impacts of calorie labeling on calories purchased per transaction.
Results: Calorie labeling led to small, absolute reductions in calories purchased across all population subgroups, ranging between -9.

Chronological age is not an accurate predictor of morbidity and mortality risk, as individuals' aging processes are diverse. Phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) is a validated biological age measure incorporating chronological age and biomarkers from blood samples commonly used in clinical practice that can better reflect aging-related morbidity and mortality risk. The heterogeneity of age-related decline is not random, as environmental exposures can promote or impede healthy aging.

Background: Little is known about the population of Medicare beneficiaries with both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD).
Methods: Using data from Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) beneficiaries aged 65 and over identified through 2011-2019 Master Beneficiary Summary File (MBSF), we estimated the size, growth, and racial-ethnic characteristics of the ADRD and CKD populations. Individuals were classified as having ADRD and CKD based on CMS Chronic Conditions Data Warehouse (CCW) indicators in the MBSF Chronic Conditions file.
