Objective: To identify and characterize how race and ethnicity influence the relationship between autism and weight status, across all categories of weight from underweight to severe obesity.
Study Design: We developed a propensity score-matched cross-sectional dataset of children with and without parent-reported autism in the National Survey of Children Health (NSCH, 2016-2022) and Adolescent Brain and Cognition Development Study (ABCD, 2016-2018). We included non-Hispanic Asian, non-Hispanic Black, non-Hispanic White, and Hispanic children aged 6 to 17 years.

Slavery, legal segregation, and ongoing discrimination have exacted an unfathomable toll on the black population in the United States, particularly with respect to the impact on health outcomes. In recent years, various researchers and activists have suggested that racial disparities in the modern era can be attributed directly to the trauma of slavery, postulating that these unspeakable traumas led to epigenetic changes in slaves-changes that have since been passed down to subsequent generations. Investigating those claims in this paper, we comprise a review of previous literature that considers the potential for transgenerational epigenetic transmission of trauma in humans.

Persistent racial disparities in low birth weight (LBW) in the United States may be better understood through the adoption of a life course perspective that considers differential exposure and vulnerability of Black and White women to socioeconomic position across generations. Using a multigenerational dataset of singleton birth certificates from South Carolina from 1989 to 2020 linked along the maternal line, we constructed intergenerational social mobility trajectories of grandmaternal and maternal education and compared unadjusted and adjusted associations between trajectories and LBW among Black and White women. We found that White women were more likely to be upwardly mobile, and Black women to be downwardly mobile.
