The investigators proposal adapts The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) 16 session core curriculum to our 8 session model and in addition uses the cultural tailoring techniques of the DPP to address the needs of our AA population in several ways: 1) The reference materials and lesson handouts
Maternal overweight/obesity and inappropriate gestational weight gain increase both maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. In addition, offspring of overweight/obese women are at increased risk for neurodevelopmental delay, becoming obese, and developing metabolic diseases. Women who are
Despite the increase in pediatric obesity, controlled intervention trials among adolescents are rare and fail to address vital socio-ecological factors, particularly in minority youth. Modification of food and activity choices is the foundation of obesity treatment; however, adherence to these
Using a crossover design, we will compare the effects of a placebo to an angiotensin II receptor antagonist on the urinary sodium excretion response in obese normotensive subjects and untreated hypertensive African-Americans subjects. We expect that the urinary sodium excretion response to
More than half of obese African-Americans (AA) with newly diagnosed diabetes presenting with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) display clinical, metabolic, and immunogenetic features of type 2 diabetes during follow-up. Prior studies by our group and other investigators indicate that, at presentation,
BACKGROUND:
It has been known for many years that African Americans experience twofold higher rates of hypertension than do whites. The underlying biological mechanisms which lead to this differential are still not understood, however. Despite widespread speculation that persons of African descent
The investigators propose to randomize overweight or obese, African American postpartum WIC participants (n=300) to either usual care (UC) or a community-based obesity treatment (PP) arm. Recruitment will occur in 6 of Philadelphia Women Infants Children's (WIC) clinic sites in the early postpartum
