HISPANIC COMMUNITY HEALTH STUDY (STUDY OF LATINOS) FIELD CENTER - CORE STUDY OPERATIONS

在美国的西班牙裔患有心脏代谢紊乱如心脏病、中风和肥胖症的高患病率。2006年，NHLBI发起了西班牙裔社区健康研究/拉丁美洲人研究（HCHS/SOL），这是美国最大的不同西班牙裔/拉丁美洲人流行病学研究。这项具有里程碑意义的研究招募了16,415名生活在圣地亚哥、芝加哥、迈阿密和纽约布朗克斯的西班牙裔/拉丁裔成年人，自认为是中美洲人、古巴人、多米尼加人、墨西哥人、波多黎各人或南美洲人的人。目前的合同阶段将HCHS/SOL从2018年12月1日延长至2024年11月30日。这项研究的重点是特定的心血管和肺部危险因素和疾病的高患病率，这些遗传群体的患病率差异，以及风险（或保护）因素与西班牙裔/拉丁裔之间的疾病发病，发病率和死亡率之间的关系。本研究阶段计划了四个主要任务领域，包括核心研究操作、方案制定和临床工作人员培训以及研究第三次检查的实施。

Hispanics in the United States suffer from high prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders such as heart disease, stroke, and obesity. In 2006, the NHLBI initiated the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL), the largest epidemiological study of diverse Hispanics/Latinos in the United States. This landmark study enrolled 16,415 Hispanic/Latino adults living in San Diego, Chicago, Miami, and the Bronx, N.Y., who self-identified as being of Central American, Cuban, Dominican, Mexican, Puerto Rican, or South American origin. The current contract phase extends HCHS/SOL from December 1, 2018 through November 30, 2024. The study focuses on the high prevalence of specific cardiovascular and pulmonary risk factors and disease, differences in prevalence of these across heritage groups, and relationships between risk (or protective) factors and disease onset, morbidity, and mortality among Hispanics/Latinos. Four main Task Areas are planned for this phase of the study to include core study operations, protocol development and training for clinic staff, and implementation of the Study’s third examination.
