Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Our methodological approach will involve a random digit-dialing cross-sectional survey of 4000 Metro Atlanta area AA and white residents (ages 30-65 years). This aim will focus on using well-validated survey instruments to examine self-reported perceptions of psychosocial stress, neighborhood segregation factors and health beliefs related to weight/weight control. These parameters will be assessed in relation to the differential prevalence of three major outcomes: (1) self-reported maladaptive cardiovascular behaviors that predispose to obesity-related CVD (ie high fat/sodium and low fruit/vegetables dietary intake and physical inactivity); (2) obesity; and (3) hypertension.
- This study will address the following research questions: Are the observed racial differences in maladaptive health behaviors (diet/inactivity) and MetS components (obesity, hypertension) associated with: a) perceived psychosocial stress, and if so, does depression, neighborhood factors or health beliefs around weight and weight control modify this relationship?
