EMORY MOREHOUSE PARTNERSHIP TO REDUCE CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目及 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究的目的是在一个以人群为基础的双种族队列中，确定心理社会/文化因素和生物介质作为肥胖和代谢综合征（MetS）种族差异的决定因素的影响;在社区临床实践的背景下，确定以患者为中心的生活方式干预措施对提高患有MetS的AA患者健康的有效性;并评估创新的生活方式干预策略对AA患者血管疾病风险的传统和新型生物标志物的影响。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This study aims to define the influence of psychosocial/cultural factors and biological mediators as determinants of ethnic disparities in obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in a population-based bi-racial cohort; to define the effectiveness of patient-centered lifestyle interventions to enhance the health of AA patients with the MetS in the context of community-based clinical practices; and to assess the impact of innovative lifestyle intervention strategies on conventional and novel biomarkers of vascular disease risk in AA.
