Abstract:

Abstract Life expectancy varies across cultural and international groups, but each culture contains long-lived individuals. To what extent survivors in different cultural groups have common or divergent characteristics is still being determined. The purpose of the symposium is to compare and contrast physical, functional, and mental health characteristics among four different cultural groups of centenarians: African American centenarians from the Health and Retirement Study, Hawaii centenarians of Japanese ancestry from the Kuakini Hawaii Centenarian Study, Japanese centenarians, and Native Am

Abstract:

Health inequalities based on race are well-documented, and the COVID-19 pandemic is no exception. Despite the advances in modern medicine, access to health care remains a primary determinant of health outcomes, especially for communities of color. African-Americans and other minorities are disproportionately at risk for infection with COVID-19, but this problem extends beyond access alone. This study sought to identify trends in race-based disparities in COVID-19 in the setting of universal access to care.

Abstract Abstract 1832 Poster Board I-858 Background Multiple myeloma is the most common hematologic malignancy in African-Americans with twice the incidence of Caucasians. Prior single center studies have reported poorer survival among African-American multiple myeloma patients. In contrast, recent data based on multiple myeloma patients who received autologous transplantation in an equal access health care system, showed comparable survival between African-Americans and Caucasians, suggesting that the reportedly poorer outcome for African-Americans may be due to inequalities in access to car

AbstractHistorians have correctly interpreted the Gilded Age and Progressive Era as periods in which African Americans faced unpreceded violence, a significant decline in franchise, and the loss of many civil rights. These years however, were far more complex when viewed from the vantage point of African American families who attempted to empower themselves through education, securing employment in white-collar occupations, such as teaching, and working to advance themselves through race betterment groups, including women’s clubs and civil rights organizations.

Abstract:

Abstract Much research has been conducted on the relationship between physical activity and breast cancer, with meta-analyses showing 10 – 21% reduction in breast cancer risk for postmenopausal women with high compared to low level of physical activity. However, few studies have explored this relationship in non-Caucasian women. We analyzed data from 74,177 post-menopausal African American, Caucasian, Japanese American, Latina, and Native Hawaiian women in the Multiethnic Cohort in Hawaii and California. Data on physical activity (hours and metabolic equivalents (METs)) was based on a self-adm

AbstractThe United States today has the highest incarceration rate, as well as the largest number of people living under correctional control more broadly (including probation and parole), than any other country on the globe. The size of the American criminal justice system is not only internationally unparalleled, but it is also historically unprecedented. This apparatus is also deeply racialized. African Americans, Latinos, and indigenous populations (Hawaiian, Puerto Rican, Native American), are all represented in U. S. jails and prisons in numbers dramatically disproportionate to their rep
