Abstract Objectives To 1) assess the relationship of home availability of sugary drinks (SD), mothers’ feeding practices, and fathers’ practices related to promoting their children's intake of SD (fathers’ SD practices) with children's intake of SD and 2) evaluate whether fathers’ SD practices moderated the relationship between mothers’ feeding practices and children's intake of SD. Methods Hispanic mothers (n = 202) of 2-to-5-year-old children reported home availability of sugary drinks, their feeding practices (i.e., monitoring, restriction, food for emotion regulation), their children's fathers’ SD practices (i.e., frequency of bringing SD to the home, using SD for emotion regulation) and children's intake of SD. Availability of SD was dichotomized as low (never/rarely/sometimes) and high (frequently/always) availability. Fathers’ feeding practices were dichotomized as low (never/once per month/once per week) and high frequency (2-3 days per week/4-6 days per week/everyday). Linear regression models tested the multivariable association between child's intake of SD and variables of interest, and interaction terms were tested for moderation effects. Results Home availability of SD, fathers drinking SD in front of the child, and fathers using SD for emotion regulation were associated with children's SD intake (P < 0.05). Fathers’ use of SD for emotion regulation moderated the association of mothers’ restriction and child's SD intake (P < 0.04). Fathers’ use of SD for emotion regulation moderated the association of mothers monitoring and child's SD intake (P < 0.02). When fathers used SD for emotion regulation at high frequencies, mothers’ restriction and monitoring practices reduced child's SD intake (P = 0.07 and 0.01, respectively). However, when fathers used SD for emotion regulation at low frequencies, there was no longer a relationship between mothers’ restriction and monitoring practices and child's SD intake (P = 0.30 and 0.95, respectively). Conclusions Mothers’ restriction and monitoring practices appear to weaken the influence of fathers use of SD in response to children's emotions and intake of SD. The moderating effect of mothers or fathers feeding behaviors on each other's behaviors warrants future investigation. Funding Sources U54GM104938.

Abstract Objectives To evaluate the relationship of home fruit and vegetable (F&V) availability and maternal feeding practices (restriction, pressure, modeling, monitoring) with preschoolers’ F&V intake. Methods Hispanic mothers (n = 238) of 2-to-5-year-old children from low-income neighborhoods participated in the study. Mothers reported home availability of F&V (whole fruit, fruit juice [FJ], total fruit [FJ and whole fruit combined], and vegetables) in the past month, their feeding practices and their children's F&V consumption (cups) in the past month. Data were collected using one-to-one interviews in English or Spanish. Logistic regression models tested associations of availability of F&V groups and feeding practices with children's intake of ≥ 1 cup per day of total fruit and vegetables as per MyPlate minimum daily recommendation for preschoolers. Results Availability of total fruit and maternal modeling increased the odds of child's consumption of ≥ 1 cup of fruit: Odds ratio (OR) = 2.41; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.56-3.70; P < 0.0001, and OR = 1.73; CI, 1.10-2.74; P < 0.020, respectively. Concurrently, maternal pressure and child's being a female increased the odds of child's consumption of ≥ 1 cup of vegetables: OR = 1.44; CI, 1.10-1.90; P < 0.009, and OR = 1.91; CI, 1.07-3.40; P < 0.028, respectively. Having more children in the home reduced the odds of child's intake of ≥ 1 cup of vegetables: OR = 0.78; CI, 0.61-0.99; P < 0.037. There were no significant associations between children's Body Mass Index (BMI) percentile and children's consumption of F&V or maternal feeding practices. Conclusions Environmental factors within the home appears to influence Hispanic preschoolers’ intake of F&V differently. To increase children's intake of fruit, family interventions should promote home fruit availability and maternal food modeling practices. However, since maternal pressure to eat has not been associated with F&V intake, the significant association between vegetable intake and pressuring children to eat found in this study must be further examined in similar cultural samples to replicate this finding.

The objective of this study was to analyze data from the National Football League Player Care Foundation Study of Retired NFL Players to understand potential risks for depressive symptoms in former athletes by investigating the relationship between pain and depressive symptoms in a multivariate context, while simultaneously exploring the potential connection with functional limitations. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the study sample and to conduct bivariate comparisons by race and age cohort. Linear regression models were conducted in the subsample of respondents reporting on depressive symptoms using the PHQ-9. Models examine the relationship of bodily pain, injury as a reason for retirement or not re-signing with a team, length of NFL career, sociodemographic characteristics, chronic conditions, and functional limitations to depression. Interaction terms tested whether race and age moderated the effect of bodily pain and functional limitations on depressive symptoms. Bivariate associations revealed no significant differences between younger and older former players in indicators of pain and only slightly higher functional limitations among younger former players. In the multivariate models, pain was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (β = 0.36; p < .01), net of a range of relevant controls. Adding an index of functional limitations reduced this association by nearly half (β = 0.20; p < .01) and functional limitations was significantly associated with depressive symptoms (β = 0.40; p < .01). No statistically significant interactions were found. Overall, bodily pain was strongly associated with depressive symptoms. After accounting for the effects of functional limitations, this association was notably reduced. These results may be useful in identifying aging-related physical declines in relatively younger adult men who may be at the greatest risk for depression. They highlight how physical functionality and activity may mitigate the risk of depression, even in the presence of significant bodily pain.

Abstract We evaluated the variations in some serum constituents in a group of healthy young men for two selected time intervals: short-term day-to-day changes and within-hour changes. In the first case, we used a two-way ANOVA model to compute the main-day effect and the subject-day interaction terms, which were combined to yield the total day-to-day variation. A main-day effect was seen to be statistically significant only for acid phosphatase, while all of the 18 serum constituents except for sodium, calcium, and albumin demonstrated a statistically significant subject-day interaction. For the within-hour biologic variation, a three-way ANOVA model was used to analyze results of duplicate serum samples drawn at 1100 h and 1130 h on two different days. Although a significant main effect of hour was found only for total lipids and alkaline phosphatase, pooling the main effect of hour, subject-hour interaction, and subject-day-hour interaction terms resulted in a chemically significant variation for potassium, total protein, albumin, iron, total lipids, cholesterol, and bilirubin. The relationship of these biological fluctuations is compared to the expected analytical variation in all cases.

A modified cell transmission model (CTM) is proposed to depict the temporal-spatial evolution of traffic congestion on urban freeways. Specifically, drivers’ adaptive behaviors and the corresponding influence on traffic flows are emphasized. Two piecewise linear regression models are proposed to describe the relationship of flow and density (occupancy). Several types of cellular connections are designed to depict urban rapid roads with on/off-ramps and junctions. Based on the data collected on freeway of Queen Elizabeth, Ontario, Canada, we show that the new model provides a relatively higher accuracy of temporal-spatial evolution of traffic congestions.

Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) and adolescent pregnancy are public health problems. Among adolescents, there is little evidence concerning the relationship of DEB with gestational weight gain (GWG) and the birth weight and length of their offspring. We aimed to determine the association between DEB with GWG and the weight and length of adolescents’ offspring. We conducted a study with 379 participants. To evaluate DEB, we applied a validated scale. We identified three factors from DEB by factorial analysis: restrictive, compensatory, and binge–purge behaviors. The main events were GWG and offspring’s birth weight and length. We performed linear regression models. We found that 50% of adolescents have at least one DEB. Excessive and insufficient GWG were 37 and 34%, respectively. The median GWG was 13 kg; adolescents with restrictive behaviors had higher GWG (13 vs. 12 kg, p = 0.023). After adjusting for pregestational body mass index and other covariables, the restrictive (β = 0.67, p = 0.039), compensatory (β = 0.65, p = 0.044), and binge–purge behaviors (β = 0.54, p = 0.013) were associated with higher GWG. We did not find an association between the birth weight and length of newborns with DEB, and suggest that DEB is associated with GWG but not with the birth weight or length of the offspring.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Other. Main funding source(s): RO1HL083176 Improving Self-Care Behavior and Outcomes in Rural Patients with Heart Failure Background/Introduction: Patients with heart failure (HF) experience cardiac and non-cardiac related comorbid conditions. Such comorbidities create challenges to successful engagement in self-care of HF because patients are asked to simultaneously perform a variety of recommended self-care activities for HF and their comorbid conditions. It is possible that patients with a greater number of comorbid conditions experience more difficulty performing activities of HF self-care compared to those with a smaller number of comorbid conditions. However, it is also possible that types of comorbid conditions are more important factors influencing self-care of HF. Purpose To explore whether self-care of HF is associated with the number of comorbid conditions or types of comorbid conditions. Methods A total of 589 patients with HF (66 years, 41% female, 65% NYHA III/IV) were included in this study. The number of comorbid conditions was measured using the list of the conditions in the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Types of comorbidities were defined as follows: concordant conditions, sharing overall pathophysiologic risk profiles with HF, and discordant conditions, not being directly related to HF. Patients were categorized into 4 groups: HF patients without comorbidities; those with concordant conditions; those with discordant conditions; and those with both concordant and discordant conditions. Self-care was measured with the European HF self-care behavior scale. A multivariate linear regression was performed to explore the relationship of HF self-care with the number and types of comorbid conditions after adjusting for relevant covariates. Results The number of comorbid conditions was not associated with self-care of HF. However, the types of comorbid conditions were related to self-care of HF after controlling for covariates. Compared to HF patients without comorbidities, patients with both concordant and discordant conditions were more likely to have poorer self-care (β=0.155, 95% CI 0.29-4.09). However, levels of self-care in patients having either concordant or discordant conditions were not different from levels in patients having no comorbid conditions. Conclusion: Patients’ adherence to HF self-care was associated with the types of comorbidities, but not the simple count of comorbidities. Patients who had both concordant and discordant conditions were more likely to perform poor self-care of HF compared to those who had either concordant or discordant conditions or no comorbid conditions. It appears that HF patients with both concordant and discordant conditions experience difficulty integrating HF self-care in relation to a variety of conditions.

Abstract The present study examined the relationship of grandiose and vulnerable narcissism with dispositional anger and hostility. We investigated the roles of neuroticism, emotional intelligence, and gender in this relationship, using a sample of 405 participants. The results indicated that vulnerable narcissism was associated with a higher tendency toward anger and hostility, and that neuroticism accounted for a large part of this association. Poor emotion managing, known as strategic emotion regulation ability, also played a role in hostility related to vulnerable narcissism, especially among men. When emotional stability was controlled for, grandiose narcissism showed links to anger and hostility. We concluded that high neuroticism and poor emotion regulation abilities among vulnerable narcissists contribute to increased anger/hostility, whereas emotional stability likely protects grandiose narcissists against these internal aspects of aggression. The significant relationships between both forms of narcissism with aggression, remaining after neuroticism and emotion regulation were accounted for, suggest that there is another underlying source of this link. Finally, we found that controlling for interindividual differences in neuroticism significantly increased the relationship between vulnerable and grandiose narcissism, suggesting the existence of the common core of narcissism.

Abstract Objectives Longitudinal analyses have identified that first pregnancy is associated with a 3–4 mg/dl selective decrease in high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) concentration. This study examined whether HDL-C concentration changes vary by pre-pregnancy demographic or cardiometabolic factors. Methods This is a secondary analysis of the NHLBI Growth and Health Study in which girls were studied from 9 to 29 years of age. Girls with lipid measurements prior to (mean age ∼17) and after (mean age ∼23) their first birth (parous) were compared with a nulliparous group with lipid assessments at similar ages (∼16 and ∼25 years). Results 202 nulliparous and 199 parous participants were analyzed (52% black, mean age 16.6 at initial measurement). The parous group was more likely to be black (66% vs. 38%, P &lt; 0.0001), but did not differ on initial BMI, % body fat, or HDL-C. HDL-C change was not related to gestational factors (gestational weight gain, infant birthweight (both P &gt; 0.3)). Adjusting for concurrent change in BMI, race and time between measurements, the parous group HDL-C decreased by −3.4 mg/dl while the nulliparous HDL-C did not change (−0.1 mg/dl, P = 0.004 for difference). Adjusted HDL-C changes were negatively associated with initial HDL-C (beta: −0.42, P &lt; 0.0001), but not with initial BMI (P = 0.13) or age (P = 0.18). Parity status and race altered the relationship of initial HDL-C with changes in HDL-C (p for 3-way interaction &lt;0.05). In particular, whites with initial HDL-C ≥ 50 mg/dl experienced pregnancy-specific decreases in HDL-C (−7.0 mg/dl parous vs. no significant change in nulliparous, P &lt; 0.0001). In blacks with initial HDL-C ≥ 50 mg/dl, HDL-C significantly declined in both the parous (−6.9 mg/dl) and nulliparous (−5.4 mg/dl) groups (P = 0.35 for parity difference). In women of both races with low initial HDL-C (&lt;50 mg/dl), HDL-C increased or did not change. Conclusions Young adult changes in HDL are not associated with gestational factors, but are strongly associated with race, parity status, changes in BMI and initial HDL. In particular, white young women with high HDL experience major pregnancy-related decreases in HDL, while black young women with high HDL are at risk of significant HDL declines, regardless of parity. Impacts on cardiometabolic outcomes should be examined. Funding Sources NIH/NHLBI.

4649 Background: Obesity has been suggested to be a risk factor for prostate cancer. However, there has been limited information examining the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and other anthropometric measures such as triceps thickness (TT) and waist circumference (WC) and prostate specific antigen (PSA), a marker used in screening for prostate cancer. Methods: We analyzed data from the 2001–2002 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), a cross-sectional survey of a nationally representative sample of the non-institutionalized civilian US population. Participants in this study were limited to men aged 40 years and older without previously diagnosed prostate cancer (n = 1320). Weighted analyses were done overall and within three racial/ethnic groups [non-Hispanic whites (white), non-Hispanic blacks (black), or Mexican Americans (Mexican)]. BMI, TT, and WC were examined as both as a continuous and as a categorical variable. Three linear regression models were fit to determine the individual effect of BMI, TT, and WC on PSA within each racial/ethnic group after adjusting for age. Results: Among white men, the median PSA was 1.09 ng/mL [95% CI (0.96, 1.30)] for men with a normal BMI, 0.80 [95% CI (0.70, 0.94)] for overweight men, 0.83 [95% CI (0.74,0.95)] for obese men, and 0.74 [95% CI (0.56,1.22)] for severely obese men. Among black men, the median PSA for men was 0.83 [95% CI (0.70, 1.94)] and remained constant across BMI levels. Among Mexican men, the median PSA was 0.92 [95% CI (0.82, 1.23)] for men with a normal BMI, 0.91 [95% CI (0.81, 1.07) ] for overweight, 0.73 [95% CI (0.54,1.14)] for obese, and 0.59 [95% CI (0.39,1.06)] for severely obese men. In linear regression models controlling for age, a significant non-linear relationship was seen with BMI and PSA for both white (p = 0.010) and Mexican men (p < 0.001) but not for black men (p = 0.167). Increased TT was associated with decreasing PSA for black and Mexican men. Increased WC was associated with decreasing PSA for white and Mexican men. Conclusion: These data do suggest racial/ethnic differences of PSA across BMI categories as well as other anthropometric measures. This finding may help inform practitioners about the relationship of anthropometric measures on PSA levels. No significant financial relationships to disclose.
