Objective: To describe the prevalence, distribution, current status awareness, and control of hypertension among rural adult residents in Ningxia.
Methods: Stratified cluster sampling methods was used and the participants were interviewed by trained health workers under a structured questionnaire. The number of research subjects was 3324. Body mass index (BMI) and Blood pressure (BP) of all samples (3324 subjects) were measured. and the data was analyses by the Chinese hypertension prevention and care guideline, 2004.
Results: A total of 3324 adults (age 25-74 years) participated. The age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension was 15.8% in all participant, 15.7% in male subjects and 16.1% in female subjects. Only 31.5% of all hypertensive patients were aware of their status, 13.6% were taking antihypertensive medication and 2.7% were controlled (blood pressure < 140/90 mmHg under antihypertensive medication). More Han ethnic group (36.4%) were aware of their hypertension than were Hui ethnic group (26.8%) (P = 0.019), treatment and control had no statistically significant between Hui ethnic group and Han ethnic group (15.4%, 3.2% vs 11.9%, 2.1%, P = 0.097 P = 0.209).
Conclusion: Our results indicate that hypertension is highly prevalent among rural residents in Ningxia. The percentages of those with hypertension who are aware, treated, and controlled are unacceptably low. These results underscore the urgent need to develop national strategies to improve prevention, detection, and treatment of hypertension in the population.

Refinement of a Published Gene-Physical Activity Interaction Impacting HDL-Cholesterol: Role of Sex and Lipoprotein Subfractions.

Large-scale gene-environment interaction (GxE) discovery efforts often involve analytical compromises for the sake of data harmonization and statistical power. Refinement of exposures, covariates, outcomes, and population subsets may be helpful to establish often-elusive replication and evaluate potential clinical utility. Here, we used additional datasets, an expanded set of statistical models, and interrogation of lipoprotein metabolism via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based lipoprotein subfractions to refine a previously discovered GxE modifying the relationship between physical activity (PA) and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C).

The impact of Covid-19 pandemic has dramatically shifted the education landscape between recent college and university graduates and pathways to graduate degrees. In my perspective article, I wish to share the challenges, reflections, and a call-to-action framework in ways we can support and advocate for postbaccalaureate persons excluded because of their ethnicity of race, or from a structurally marginalized community or PEERS through the lens of mindfulness, humility, reflection, and deep listening. Through cross-institutional community network support, culturally responsive mentoring of postbaccalaureate PEERS is one of the key dimensions in empowering communities toward health, environmental, and social justice.

Background: Studies examining racial and ethnic disparities in-hospital mortality for patients hospitalized with COVID-19 had mixed results. Findings from patients within academic medical centers (AMCs) are lacking, but important given the role of AMCs in improving health equity.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess whether minority patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) institutions, which consist predominantly of AMCs, have higher mortality rates relative to White patients.
Marriage promotes breastfeeding duration through economic and social supports. The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affected marginalized communities and impacted women's employment and interpersonal dynamics. This study examined how marital status affects breastfeeding duration across socioeconomic and racially minoritized groups during COVID-19, aiming to inform social support strategies for vulnerable families in public health crises.
