Randomized controlled trial of a multiple technology-based physical activity intervention for Latina adolescents: Recruitment strategies and baseline data from the Chicas Fuertes trial
Naqvi J, Olesen B, Greenstadt E, Carson J, Marcus B, Godino J, et al.
Contemp Clin Trials . 2024 Oct; 147:107716. PMID: 39413991
Background: Latina adolescents report low levels of physical activity (PA) and high lifetime risk of lifestyle-related diseases. They also have high rates of using technology, suggesting interventions delivered through mobile...

A multiple technology-based and individually-tailored Sit Less program for people with cardiovascular disease: A randomized controlled trial study protocol
Park C, Larsen B, Mogos M, Muchira J, Dietrich M, LaNoue M, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 May; 19(5):e0302582. PMID: 38722831
Sedentary behavior, a key modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is prevalent among cardiovascular disease patients. However, few interventions target sedentary behavior in this group. This paper describes the protocol...

Associations of Abdominal Muscle Density and Area and Incident Cardiovascular Disease, Coronary Heart Disease, and Stroke: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Larsen B, Bellettiere J, Allison M, Ryu R, Tam R, McClelland R, et al.
J Am Heart Assoc . 2024 Feb; 13(4):e032014. PMID: 38348808
Background: Muscle density is inversely associated with all-cause mortality, but associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are not well understood. This study evaluated the association between muscle density and muscle...

Improvements in stress among Latinas participating in a randomized controlled trial of technology-supported physical activity interventions
Pekmezi D, Dunsiger S, Benitez T, Larsen B, Vasconez A, Marcus B
Stress Health . 2024 Jan; 40(4):e3374. PMID: 38289870
High levels of stress and inactivity likely contribute to chronic disease disparities among Latinas in the U.S. and call for intervention. To inform such efforts, the current study examined the...

Reallocating time between device-measured 24-hour activities and cardiovascular risk in Asian American immigrant women: An isotemporal substitution model
Park C, Larsen B, Kwon S, Xia Y, LaNoue M, Dickson V, et al.
PLoS One . 2024 Jan; 19(1):e0297042. PMID: 38198483
The 24-hour day consists of physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior, and sleep, and changing the time spent on one activity affects the others. Little is known about the impact of...

The Hombres Saludables Physical Activity Web-Based and Mobile Phone Intervention: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial With Latino Men
Dulin A, Dunsiger S, Benitez T, Larsen B, Marcus B, Champion G, et al.
J Med Internet Res . 2023 Dec; 25:e39310. PMID: 38060285
Background: Owing to structural-level, interpersonal-level, and individual-level barriers, Latino men have disproportionately high rates of physical inactivity and experience related chronic diseases. Despite these disparities, few physical activity (PA) interventions...

Social and built neighborhood environments and sleep health: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos Community and Surrounding Areas and Sueño Ancillary Studies
Savin K, Carlson J, Patel S, Jankowska M, Allison M, Sotres-Alvarez D, et al.
Sleep . 2023 Oct; 47(2). PMID: 37788570
Study Objectives: To test associations between neighborhood social, built, and ambient environment characteristics and multidimensional sleep health in Hispanic/Latino adults. Methods: Data were from San Diego-based Hispanic/Latino adults mostly of...

Barriers and Facilitators to Muscle-Strengthening Activity Among Latinas in the U.S.: Results From Formative Research Assessments
Benitez T, Artigas E, Larsen B, Joseph R, Pekmezi D, Marquez B, et al.
Int J Behav Med . 2023 May; 31(2):292-304. PMID: 37231222
Background: Latinas are disproportionately affected by low physical activity (PA) levels and related health conditions (e.g., diabetes, obesity). Few Latinas in the U.S. (17%) meet the National PA Guidelines for...

Cost effectiveness of a technology-enhanced physical activity intervention for Latinas
Larsen B, Gilmer T, Pekmezi D, Hartman S, Benitez T, Rabin B, et al.
Transl Behav Med . 2023 May; 13(9):675-682. PMID: 37208924
Latinas report low levels of physical activity (PA) and disproportionate risk of lifestyle-related diseases. Enhancements to evidence-based PA interventions may increase efficacy; however, uptake of interventions will likely depend on...

The Impact of a Wearable Activity Tracker and Structured Feedback Program on Physical Activity in Hemodialysis Patients: The Step4Life Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Malhotra R, Rahimi S, Agarwal U, Katz R, Kumar U, Garimella P, et al.
Am J Kidney Dis . 2023 Feb; 82(1):75-83. PMID: 36801430
Rationale & Objective: People with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have very low physical activity, and the degree of inactivity is strongly associated with morbidity and mortality. We assessed the feasibility...
