拉美裔社区健康研究/拉美裔外部免责声明研究(HCHS/SOL)是一项在拉美裔/拉丁裔人群中进行的多中心流行病学研究，旨在描述心血管和肺部疾病和其他选定的慢性疾病的患病率、它们的保护或有害因素，以及随着时间的推移健康的变化，包括致命和非致命心血管疾病事件的发生率、肺部疾病的恶化和全因死亡。此外，社会文化因素(包括文化适应)对拉美裔/拉美裔健康的作用令人感兴趣。最初的研究期是在2006年10月至2013年5月期间资助的。2008年3月至2011年6月期间，超过16,400名拉美裔/拉美裔美国人被招募并接受检查，他们的注册年龄为18-74岁，代表不同血统的群体(中美洲人、古巴人、多米尼克人、墨西哥人、波多黎各人和南美洲人)，目前在圣地亚哥州立大学、芝加哥伊利诺伊大学、纽约布朗克斯地区的阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦医学院和迈阿密大学的四个附属中心进行跟踪调查。北卡罗来纳大学教堂山分校的研究协调中心提供额外的科学和后勤支持，哈佛大学布里格姆妇女医院的超声心动图阅读中心将提供在此周期中进行的超声心动图的读取和解释。在第二个研究阶段，研究参与者将接受第二次检查，并将继续每年进行跟踪，以确定感兴趣的健康和健康结果的变化。正在分析基线研究结果，并在科学期刊上发表结果，并将其传播给参与研究的社区。这项研究目前由国家心肺血液研究所和国家糖尿病、消化和肾脏疾病研究所资助。

The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinosexternal disclaimer (HCHS/SOL) is a multi-center epidemiologic study in Hispanic/Latino populations designed to describe the prevalence of cardiovascular and pulmonary disease and other select chronic diseases, their protective or harmful factors, and changes in health over time, including incidence of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular disease events, exacerbation of pulmonary disease and all-cause mortality. In addition, the role of sociocultural factors (including acculturation) on Hispanic/Latino health is of interest. The initial study period was funded between October 2006 and May 2013. Over 16,400 Hispanics/Latinos, aged 18-74 years at enrollment, and representing different groups of origin (Central Americans, Cubans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans and South Americans) were recruited and examined between March 2008 and June 2011, and are currently followed at four centers affiliated with San Diego State University, University of Illinois at Chicago, Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx area of New York, and the University of Miami. A research Coordinating Center at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill provides additional scientific and logistical support, and an Echocardiography Reading Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital at Harvard University will provide the reading and interpretation of echocardiograms to be performed during this cycle. In this second study period, study participants will undergo a second examination, and will continue to be followed annually to determine changes in health and health outcomes of interest. Baseline study findings are being analyzed, and publication of the results in scientific journals, and their dissemination to the communities involved in the study is ongoing. The study is currently funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Institute Diabetes, and Digestive, and Kidney Diseases.
