Patient Preferences for Lifestyle Management in a Multi-site Randomized Lifestyle Trial for Remission of the Metabolic Syndrome
Iannuzzelli K, Suzuki S, Karavolos K, Powell L
Int J Behav Med . 2024 Mar; PMID: 38519811
Background: Randomized behavioral clinical trials are the gold standard for evaluating efficacy of a behavioral treatment. However, because participants are generally unblinded to treatment, preference for a specific treatment option...

Pre- and Early Peri-menopausal Physical Function and Risk of Cardiovascular Events: The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
Lange-Maia B, El Khoudary S, Crandall C, Zhang Y, Karvonen-Gutierrez C, Pettee Gabriel K, et al.
J Aging Health . 2022 Oct; 35(5-6):383-391. PMID: 36250945
Objectives: To determine whether physical function (PF) before menopause is related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Methods: Participants were = 2950 pre-/early peri-menopausal women (median age 46, (25th-75th percentile: 43-48 ...

Longitudinal associations of mid-life employment status with impaired physical function in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
Appelhans B, Pettee Gabriel K, Lange-Maia B, Karavolos K, Ylitalo K, Karvonen-Gutierrez C, et al.
Ann Epidemiol . 2022 Jun; 74:15-20. PMID: 35714876
Purpose: This study examined whether employment status during mid-life and older adulthood is associated with physical function impairment. Methods: Participants were 2700 women in the multiracial/multiethnic Study of Women's Health...

Contribution of common chronic conditions to midlife physical function decline: The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
Lange-Maia B, Karavolos K, Avery E, Strotmeyer E, Karvonen-Gutierrez C, Appelhans B, et al.
Womens Midlife Health . 2020 Aug; 6:6. PMID: 32742664

Impact of Chronic Medical Condition Development on Longitudinal Physical Function from Mid- to Early Late-Life: The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation
Lange-Maia B, Karvonen-Gutierrez C, Kazlauskaite R, Strotmeyer E, Karavolos K, Appelhans B, et al.
J Gerontol A Biol Sci Med Sci . 2019 Nov; 75(7):1411-1417. PMID: 31732730
Background: Chronic medical conditions (CMCs) often emerge and accumulate during the transition from mid- to late-life, and the resulting multimorbidity can greatly impact physical function. We assessed the association of...

Body mass index versus bioelectrical impedance analysis for classifying physical function impairment in a racially diverse cohort of midlife women: the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN)
Appelhans B, Lange-Maia B, Pettee Gabriel K, Karvonen-Gutierrez C, Karavolos K, Dugan S, et al.
Aging Clin Exp Res . 2019 Oct; 32(9):1739-1747. PMID: 31584147
