英文摘要
PROJECT SUMMARY/ ABSTRACT    This  proposal  addresses  the  compelling  public  health  issue  of  the  problem  of  childhood  obesity  in  the  Hispanic  (Mexican-­‐American)  population.  In  this  context,  one  of  the  most  striking  epidemiological  observations  is  that  Hispanic  immigrants  in  the  U.S.  exhibit  a  progressive  and  pronounced  decline  in  health  (obesity/  adiposity)  over  time  and  across  generations that is evident even after accounting for socioeconomic status. The prevailing paradigm invokes the construct  of acculturation (post-­‐migration acquisition of host culture and/or loss of heritage culture) and posits this health decline  is a biological consequence of some of acculturation’s psychosocial and behavioral sequelae (increasing stress, declining  social  ties,  adoption  of  unhealthy  diet). However,  research  has  overlooked  one  crucial  point:  a  major  feature  of  this  phenomenon  is  its  intergenerational  component,  and  yet  intergenerational  transmission  is  unaddressed.  Our  proposal  seeks  to  address  this  important  limitation.  We  propose  that  the  cause  of  the  observed  intergenerational  escalation  in  obesity  among  Mexican-­‐Americans  may,  in  part,  originate  during  the  intrauterine  period  of  life.  At  this  time,  maternal  acculturation-­‐related  processes  may  impact  fetal  development  to  produce  phenotypic  alterations  in  the  structure  and  function  of  cells,  tissues  and  organ  systems  that  increase  susceptibility  for  obesity/adiposity  (i.e.,  the  concept  of  “fetal/developmental programming of health and disease risk”).  We  propose  to  conduct  a  prospective,  longitudinal  study  in  a  representative  cohort  of  N=300  first-­‐  and  second-­‐ generation  Mexican-­‐American  mothers  and  their  offspring  from  early  gestation  through  birth  till  6-­‐month  age.  We  will  conceptualize,  operationalize  and  analyze  acculturation  as  a  multi-­‐dimensional  construct.  We  will  quantify  child  adiposity (% fat mass) at birth and at 6-­‐mo age by dual-­‐energy X-­‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) whole-­‐body imaging. We will  address  the  following  specific  aims:  Aim  1:  Test  the  hypothesis  that  maternal  acculturation  is  prospectively  associated  with newborn and infant body composition (adiposity). Aim 2: Test the hypothesis that gestational endocrine (cortisol,  CRH),  immune  (IL-­‐6,  TNF-­‐α,  CRP),  oxidative  (5-­‐iPF2α-­‐VI),  and  metabolic  (glucose,  insulin)  biology  across  pregnancy  mediates the effect of maternal acculturation on newborn and infant body composition (adiposity). Aim 3: Identify and  quantify the potentially modifiable maternal psychological, behavioral and biophysical characteristics that are associated  with acculturation and may account for its impact on gestational biology and child body composition (adiposity).  We have assembled an interdisciplinary team of established investigators with complementary expertise; performed a  feasibility  analysis documenting  our  ability  to recruit  and  retain the  proposed  study  population  and implement  all  elements  of  the  study  protocol;  and  collected  and  present  preliminary  data in  support  of  the  key  tenets  of  our  proposal. Our study will generate new information about the health of Mexican Americans, shed more light on the causes  and  mechanisms  of  intergenerational  cycles  of  vulnerability,  and  provide  a  basis  for  developing  specific  translational  targets for future intervention studies.
