HCHS-SOL - AE FIELD CENTER

在美国，西班牙裔美国人患心脏病、中风和肥胖等心脏代谢紊乱的发病率很高。2006年，NHLBI启动了西班牙裔社区健康研究/拉丁裔研究（HCHS/SOL），这是美国最大的不同西班牙裔/拉丁裔的流行病学研究。这项具有里程碑意义的研究招募了16415名居住在圣地亚哥、芝加哥、迈阿密和纽约布朗克斯的西班牙裔/拉丁裔成年人，他们自认为是中美洲、古巴、多米尼加、墨西哥、波多黎各或南美洲的后裔。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。该研究的重点是特定心血管和肺部危险因素和疾病的高患病率，这些患病率在不同遗产群体中的差异，以及西班牙裔/拉丁裔人中风险（或保护）因素与疾病发病、发病率和死亡率之间的关系。这一阶段的研究计划有四个主要任务领域，包括核心研究操作、临床工作人员的方案制定和培训，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.
