项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Individuals living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods have disproportionately high rates of obesity and obesity-related morbidity, including increased risk for physical role limitations and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Studies of potential mechanisms linking neighborhood disadvantage with health outcomes have primarily focused on daytime health behaviors, including diet or physical activity. However, sleep is a critical health behavior that is associated with neighborhood disadvantage, and may play a causal role in explaining the links between neighborhood disadvantage and health. However, the extant research on neighborhood disadvantage and sleep is based exclusively on cross-sectional data, using self-reports of sleep and neighborhood characteristics. Building on the existing research infrastructure developed by our team's previously funded, ongoing studies, we have a unique and important opportunity to study whether changes in the built and social environment, stimulated by substantial economic investment improves sleep, and in turn, reduces obesity-related health disparities. The study cohort includes a randomly selected cohort of 1100 low- income, African American adults, from two urban neighborhoods, one of which is undergoing a dramatic revitalization over the next 5 years (i.e., the intervention neighborhood), and the other (the sociodemographically-matched control neighborhood) is not undergoing any such changes. We will add longitudinal assessments of sleep using actigraphy, self-reports, and in a subsample of 300, objective, in-home monitoring of obstructive sleep apnea, to provide a rich characterization of sleep profiles before, during, and, after neighborhood changes. Evidence gained from this study would have substantial scientific and policy implications for identifying novel individual-level and neighborhood level factors that contribute to striking and pervasive racial and socioeconomic disparities in health.

描述（由申请人提供）：生活在社会经济弱势社区的个人肥胖率和肥胖相关发病率异常高，包括身体角色限制和心血管疾病 (CVD) 的风险增加。对将社区劣势与健康结果联系起来的潜在机制的研究主要集中在白天的健康行为，包括饮食或身体活动。然而，睡眠是一种与邻里劣势相关的重要健康行为，并且可能在解释邻里劣势与健康之间的联系中发挥因果作用。然而，现有的关于邻里劣势和睡眠的研究完全基于横截面数据，使用睡眠和邻里特征的自我报告。基于我们团队之前资助的、正在进行的研究开发的现有研究基础设施，我们有一个独特而重要的机会来研究大量经济投资刺激的建筑和社会环境的变化是否可以改善睡眠，从而减少与肥胖相关的疾病健康差异。该研究队列包括随机选择的 1100 名低收入非裔美国成年人，他们来自两个城市社区，其中一个社区在未来 5 年内将经历戏剧性的复兴（即干预社区），另一个社区（社会人口学上的社区）将经历巨大的复兴。 -匹配的控制邻域）没有发生任何此类变化。我们将使用体动记录仪、自我报告以及 300 个子样本添加对睡眠的纵向评估，对阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停进行客观的家庭监测，以提供社区变化之前、期间和之后睡眠状况的丰富特征。从这项研究中获得的证据将对识别导致健康方面显着且普遍的种族和社会经济差异的新的个人层面和社区层面的因素产生重大的科学和政策影响。
