Background: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, telemedicine has been widely integrated into primary care pediatrics. While initial studies showed some concern for disparities in telemedicine use, telemedicine uptake for pediatric patients in a low-income, primarily Latino community over a sustained period has yet to be described.
Objective: We aimed to assess the relationship between demographics, patient portal activation, and telemedicine visits, as well as characterize diagnoses addressed in telemedicine, in a low-income, primarily Latino population over time.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of digital health technology, but it could also impact age-based disparities as existing studies have pointed out. Compared with the pre-pandemic period, whether the rapid digitalization of the health care system during the pandemic widened the age-based disparities over a long period remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to analyze the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the multifaceted landscape of digital health technology used across diverse age groups among US citizens.
Background: Although cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among US adults of color, there is a limited understanding of cardiovascular health status, including health behaviors (sleep health, diet, physical activity, and nicotine exposure) and health factors (body mass index, blood lipids, blood glucose, and blood pressure).
Purpose/methods: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize original research on racial and ethnic disparities in CVH among US adults aged 18 to 50 years using Life's Simple 7 and Life's Essential 8 metrics. Multiple electronic databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) were searched for relevant original studies published in English until March 28, 2023.
