We appreciate the thoughtful and insightful commentary by Albert and Williams (1) in response to our findings linking self-reported experiences of everyday discrimination to visceral fat (2). We agree with the points raised by these authors about the emerging importance of discrimination as a potential risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and we read with interest their suggestions for future research.We were particularly intrigued by Albert and Williams’(1) emphasis on the importance of examining the role of other psychosocial stressors in addition to experiences of everyday discrimination. We have looked at the association between negative affect and visceral fat in this cohort (3, 4) and adjusted for depressive symptoms in our analyses (2); however, we did not address the role of additional psychosocial stressors. Consequently, because we have data on additional psychosocial stressors in the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation Fat Patterning Study, we conducted supplemental analyses to examine the associations between visceral fat and psychosocial stressors in the form of negative life events, perceived stress, and financial strain.
