Ethn Dis . 2013 Mar; 23(2):149-54. PMID: 23530294
Objectives: Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS) declines with age and low endogenous DHEAS concentrations have been associated with obesity. In addition, DHEAS has been studied for its role in mood and wellbeing....

Ethn Dis . 2012 Nov; 22(4):410-5. PMID: 23140070
Objectives: African Americans (AA) experience a high mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), even without an increase in the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (MetS). The potential role of sleep impairment...
