 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Cardiovascular (CV) disease is the leading cause of death among women in the US and a major source of racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in women's health. There is a fundamental gap in our understanding of which biological, behavioral, and psychosocial factors contribute most to disparities in women's CV health. In particular, despite growing evidence that pregnancy can serve as a window into women's later-life CV health; little work has taken advantage of this window to gain insight into race or SES disparities in CV health. The overall goal of this proposal is therefore to identify factors-from pregnancy and across the life-course-and that contribute to racial/ethnic and socioeconomic differences in women's later-life CV health. The proposed work will take advantage of the POUCHMoms study (2011-2014, n=678), a unique longitudinal cohort that includes detailed interview data and biologic samples from 3 key periods in the life- course-pre-pregnancy (assessed retrospectively at pregnancy), pregnancy, and mid-life (assessed once within 7-15 years post-pregnancy)-and is both racially and socioeconomically diverse. The first specific aim of the proposed work is to identify factors within the domains of biology, behavior, and psychosocial influences that can be measured at pregnancy or mid-life and that contribute to race and SES differences in women's CV health indicators (i.e., blood pressure, HTN and pre-HTN, risk scores, and intima-media thickness) at mid-life. Although important knowledge can be gained from the existing POUCHMoms data, continued, more frequent, and less burdensome follow-up of these women is essential to track development of CV risk over the life- course and to understand the temporal ordering of factors contributing to race and SES disparities. Therefore, the second specific aim is to develop and pilot test innovative methods for ongoing data collection in the POUCHMoms cohort using social media and mobile technology. The candidate, Dr. Claire Margerison-Zilko, is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology at Michigan State University (MSU) and brings to the award strong training and research experience in social and perinatal epidemiology and health disparities research. The proposed NHLBI Mentored Career Development Award (K01) will provide Dr. Margerison-Zilko with additional training in 1) cardiovascular epidemiology and pathophysiology, especially as it relates to women's health during pregnancy; 2) life course approaches to chronic disease research; and 3) use of social media and mobile technologies in health research. The training and mentoring in these areas combined with the proposed research activities will enable Dr. Margerison-Zilko to achieve her long-term goal of building an independent and innovative research program examining racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in women's cardiovascular (CV) health, with a focus on understanding relations between pregnancy and CV health.

 描述（由申请人提供）：心血管（CV）疾病是美国女性死亡的主要原因，也是女性健康方面种族/民族和社会经济差异的主要根源。我们对心血管疾病的理解存在根本性差距。尤其是，行为和社会心理因素是造成女性心血管健康差异的主要原因，尽管越来越多的证据表明怀孕可以作为了解女性晚年心血管​​健康的一个窗口，但很少有人利用这一窗口来深入了解种族。因此，本提案的总体目标是确定怀孕期间和整个生命周期中导致女性晚年心血管​​健康的种族/民族和社会经济差异的因素。利用 POUCHMoms 研究（2011-2014 年，n=678），这是一个独特的纵向队列，其中包括来自生命历程中怀孕前 3 个关键时期的详细访谈数据和生物样本（经评估）回顾性地在怀孕期间）、怀孕期间和中年期间（怀孕后 7-15 年内进行一次评估），并且具有种族和社会多样性。拟议工作的第一个具体目标是确定生物学领域内的因素，可以在怀孕或中年时测量的行为和社会心理影响，这些影响会导致女性心血管健康指标（即血压、高血压和高血压前、风险评分和内膜中膜）的种族和社会经济地位差异尽管可以从现有的 POUCHMoms 数据中获得重要的知识，但对这些女性进行持续、更频繁、更轻松的随访对于跟踪生命历程中 CV 风险的发展并了解这一点至关重要。因此，第二个具体目标是开发和试点测试创新方法。 候选人 Claire Margerison-Zilko 博士是密歇根州立大学 (MSU) 流行病学助理教授，她为该奖项带来了丰富的社会和研究经验。拟定的 NHLBI 指导职业发展奖 (K01) 将为 Margerison-Zilko 博士提供以下方面的额外培训：1) 心血管流行病学和病理生理学，特别是与怀孕期间的妇女健康相结合；2）慢性病研究的生命过程方法；3）在健康研究中使用社交媒体和移动技术将有助于这些领域的培训和指导以及拟议的研究活动。 Margerison-Zilko 博士致力于实现她的长期目标，即建立一个独立和创新的研究项目，研究女性心血管 (CV) 健康方面的种族/民族和社会经济差异，重点是了解怀孕和 CV 健康之间的关系。
