杰克逊心脏研究（JHS）是一项单中心前瞻性流行病学调查 来自杰克逊的非裔美国人的心血管疾病（CVD）， 密西西比都会区。这是一项基于人群的纵向研究， 扩大社区动脉粥样硬化风险研究的一个研究地点， （ARIC）. 杰克逊心脏研究的设计是基于杰克逊ARIC的经验 队列。在2000年杰克逊心脏研究开始之前， 举行了会议和焦点小组，并进行了一项调查，以确定如何 加强对初次考试和随后考试的参与， 心血管疾病的预防意识。杰克逊心脏研究包括5,301名非洲人， 年龄在35岁至84岁之间的美国男性和女性，包括1，624名前 ARIC的参与者沿着还有来自更大地理区域的成年人。参与者被 随机选择，以代表非洲裔美国居民， 密西西比的杰克逊。包括家庭成员，以便研究 家族和遗传因素对CVD的影响。 研究的初步审查阶段于2000年秋季开始， 在2004年3月。一项广泛的调查包括一系列的调查问卷 （检查生活习惯、病史、药物、社会和文化因素）， 身体评估（身高、体重、体型、血压、心电图， 心脏和颈部动脉的超声测量，以及肺功能）， 实验室测量（胆固醇和其他脂质，葡萄糖，与 血液凝固等）。本研究收集的信息包括 常规危险因素和可能与CVD相关的新的或新兴因素。 一些较新的重点领域包括疾病的早期指标、遗传学、社会文化 影响，如社会经济地位和歧视，以及生理 常见疾病如高血压、肥胖症和 糖尿病及其对CVD的影响。第二次考试于2005年开始，2008年结束， 考试3从2009年开始，到2012年结束。第四次考试定于2020年开始， 2022年结束。 JHS是在非洲进行的最大规模的CVD调查， 美国人口，由国家心脏，肺和血液研究所赞助 （NHLBI），并于2018年8月更新， 额外的六年。这是NHLBI和四个地方机构之间的伙伴关系， 中心：Tougaloo学院（本科培训和教育中心），杰克逊 州立大学（研究生培训和教育中心）、密西西比大学 医疗中心（协调中心，现场中心和研究生培训和 教育中心）和密西西比州卫生部（社区 参与中心）。来自这些机构的NHLBI和JHS调查员 与其他机构的科学家密切合作， 扩大与JHS相关的研究机会。中心加强 关于少数群体健康和健康差距研究的质量和数量， 高质量的研究职业发展和培训，并加强社区联系。

The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is a single-site prospective epidemiologic investigation of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among African-Americans from the Jackson, Mississippi metropolitan area. It is a population-based longitudinal study representing an expansion of one of the study sites of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC). The Jackson Heart Study was designed to build on the experience of the Jackson ARIC Cohort. Prior to the initiation of the Jackson Heart Study in 2000, a series of community meetings and focus groups were held and a survey was conducted to identify ways to enhance participation in the initial and subsequent examinations and strengthen awareness of CVD prevention. The Jackson Heart Study include 5,301 African- American men and women between the ages of 35 and 84, including 1,624 previous ARIC participants along with adults from a larger geographic area. Participants were randomly selected in order to be representative of African-American residents of Jackson, Mississippi. Family members were included in order to permit studies of familial and genetic contributions to CVD. The initial examination phase of the study began in the fall of 2000 and was completed in March 2004. An extensive examination included a series of questionnaires (examining lifestyle habits, medical history, medications, social and cultural factors), physical assessments (height, weight, body size, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, ultrasound measurements of the heart and arteries in the neck, and lung function) and laboratory measurements (cholesterol and other lipids, glucose, indicators related to clotting of the blood among others). The information collected in this study includes both conventional risk factors and new or emerging factors that may be related to CVD. Some of the newer areas of focus include early indicators of disease, genetics, sociocultural influences such as socioeconomic status and discrimination, and physiological relations between common disorders such as high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes, and their influence on CVD. Exam 2 began in 2005 and ended in 2008, and Exam 3 began in 2009 and ended in 2012. Exam 4 is scheduled to begin in 2020 and end in 2022. The JHS, the largest investigation of CVD that has ever been undertaken in an African- American population, is sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at the National Institutes of Health and was renewed in August 2018 for an additional six years. It is a partnership between NHLBI and four local institutions with six centers: Tougaloo College (Undergraduate Training and Education Center), Jackson State University (Graduate Training and Education Center), the University of Mississippi Medical Center (Coordinating Center, Field Center and Graduate Training and Education Center), and the Mississippi State Department of Health (Community Engagement Center). The NHLBI and JHS investigators from these institutions work closely together and collaborate with scientists from other institutions in conducting and expanding the research opportunities associated with the JHS. The Centers enhance the quality and quantity of research on minority health and health disparities, provide high quality research career development and training, and strengthen community ties.
