Assignment task:
Jackson Heart Study Manuscript Proposal other factors should be taken into account besides cardiovascular disease risk factors. To help reduce the risk and to understand the relationship between poor health outcomes, such as poor diet, diabetes, and high body mass index/obesity and perceived racism should be evaluated. Although there are numerous studies that focus on the relationship between obesity, poor diet, diabetes and perceived racism, there were little to no studies that addressed ADD WHAT MAKES YOUR STUDY DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS]. This study is essential because the high prevalence of perceived racism could be correlated to the high prevalence of diabetes, obesity, and poor diets in African Americans. This gap may be a result of [_FILL IN]. Add a JHS study that discusses your topic and state the findings. In order to examine the negative impact of perceived racism on health, it is beneficial to understand that perceived racism is associated with diabetes, and BMI/obesity (CITE). Perceived racism led to poor diet (CITE).. As a result, the following questions come to mind: I want is the association between perceived racism and diabetes, diet, and BMI in the Jackson Heart Study?
Research Hypothesis
1. Does perceived racism have a significant impact on the incidence of diabetes in JHS participants, after controlling for factors such as diet and BMI?
2. Is there a correlation between higher levels of perceived racism and a greater incidence of diabetes among JHS participants, even when controlling for variables such as diet and BMI?
3. How does the relationship between perceived racism and the incidence of diabetes vary by race/ethnicity among JHS participants?
4. To what degree does nutrition among JHS students mitigate the link between perceived racism and the prevalence of diabetes?
5. Does BMI among JHS participants alter the association between perceived racism and the prevalence of diabetes, making the impact of racism larger for those with higher BMIs?
6. Depending on the type of racism experienced (such as interpersonal vs. institutional racism), are there variations in the impact of perceived racism on the prevalence of diabetes among JHS participants?
