The health implications of engaging in risk-taking or protective behaviors can have long-lasting effects on an individual's life. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in how religious attitudes and beliefs influence an individual's health behaviors. However, research on the role of the God Locus of Health Control (GLHC) in the religion-health literature is lacking.

Purpose: In Aotearoa New Zealand, there are inequitable outcomes for Pacific peoples who experience higher rates of preventable cancers and poorer survival compared with other ethnicities. The aim of this study was to explore Pacific peoples lived experience of cancer and its treatment in the Auckland setting.
Methods: Data were collected through semistructured interviews (talanoa) with Pacific patients under the Auckland Regional Cancer and Blood Service.
Alzheimers Dement

Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA.
Background: APOE*4 is the strongest genetic risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), but other genetic loci may counter its detrimental effect, providing therapeutic avenues. Expanding beyond non-Hispanic White subjects, we sought to additionally leverage genetic data from non-Hispanic and Hispanic subjects of admixed African ancestry to perform trans-ancestry APOE*4-stratified GWAS, anticipating that allele frequency differences across populations would boost power for gene discovery.
Method: Participants were ages 60+, of European (EU; ≥75%) or admixed African (AFR; ≥25%) ancestry, and diagnosed as cases or controls.
Alzheimers Dement
December 2024
Yale University, New Haven, CT, USA.
Background: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) affects over 15 million individuals in the United States, contributing to oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and elevating the risk of neurodegeneration. Despite this, the connection between AUD and aging conditions, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), remains unclear. AD, with a heritability of 60-80%, is genetically linked, necessitating an exploration of the molecular implications of AUD and genetic susceptibility to AD.
