The Monthly Cycling of Food Insecurity in Latinas at Risk for Diabetes: Methods, Retention, and Sample Characteristics for a Microlongitudinal Design

The Monthly Cycling of Food Insecurity in Latinas at Risk for Diabetes: Methods, Retention, and Sample Characteristics for a Microlongitudinal Design

Latinas have nearly double the rates of type 2 diabetes (T2 D; 11.3%) compared with non-Hispanic white women (6.1%) [1]. This health inequity is not fully understood. Prediabetes, a condition in which a person’s blood glucose levels are higher than normal but do not reach the cutoff for diabetes, is a significant risk factor for developing T2 D.

Association Between Physical Activity Intervention Website Use and Physical Activity Levels Among Spanish-Speaking Latinas: Randomized Controlled Trial

Association Between Physical Activity Intervention Website Use and Physical Activity Levels Among Spanish-Speaking Latinas: Randomized Controlled Trial

Latina women report less activity than non-Latino white women and Latino men, and Latinas also experience higher rates of obesity, diabetes, and other chronic conditions related to inactive lifestyle [11]. Given the rise in internet use among Latinas and the potential of internet-based interventions to incorporate features associated with successful behavior change, internet-based interventions may be particularly appropriate for promoting PA in Latinas.

A Web-Based Physical Activity Intervention for Spanish-Speaking Latinas: A Costs and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

A Web-Based Physical Activity Intervention for Spanish-Speaking Latinas: A Costs and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

Only 38.2% of Latinas in the United States report meeting the federal guidelines for performance of aerobic physical activity (ie, >150 minutes/week of at least moderate-intensity aerobic activity), which is markedly less than non-Latina white women (50.9 %) and Latino men (47.0 %). Moreover, Latinas are more likely to be obese than non-Latina white women and experience excess burden from inactivity-related conditions, such as diabetes and stroke [7].
