  • Understanding stroke: 25-year study uncovers disparities & insights

    Understanding stroke: 25-year study uncovers disparities & insights
    2024/09/26
    In this episode of Population Healthy, we dive into the groundbreaking research of the BASIC (Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi) study, led by University of Michigan researchers Dr. Lewis Morgenstern and Dr. Lynda Lisabeth. Every 40 seconds, someone in the US experiences a stroke, a leading cause of long-term disability and death, particularly among older adults. Drs. Morgenstern and Lisabeth have dedicated nearly 25 years to understanding stroke, with a special focus on health disparities faced by Mexican Americans in Corpus Christi, Texas.

    Join us as we explore how their collaborative and community-centered approach has illuminated key aspects of stroke epidemiology, the significant burden on Mexican Americans, and the critical role of health equity. Learn about the study's evolution, intriguing findings on stroke recurrence and mortality, and the project's innovative use of big data to enhance patient outcomes.
    We'll also discuss their recent work on the link between stroke and sleep apnea, the logistical challenges of managing a long-distance research project, and the prestigious recognition they've received for their impactful contributions. This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in public health, neurology, and health equity.

  • Hidden dangers: The cancer risks of environmental injustice

    Hidden dangers: The cancer risks of environmental injustice
    2024/09/26
    Cancer disparities manifest as differences in cancer incidence, outcomes, or mortality across various demographic groups—whether by gender, age, location, sexual orientation, race, or ethnicity. For instance, Black women in the US face a significantly higher mortality rate from breast cancer and are more likely to be diagnosed with aggressive and hard-to-treat subtypes, such as triple-negative breast cancer, than their white or Asian American counterparts. The underlying causes of these disparities are complex and multifaceted.

    In this episode of Population Healthy, we explore the pressing question: Why are certain populations unequally impacted by chemical exposures, and how do these exposures contribute to cancer disparities? Our guest, Justin Colacino, Associate Professor of Environmental Health Sciences and Nutritional Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health, delves into the intersection of pollution, environmental exposures, and cancer disparities. Discover how everyday factors like air, water, food, and household products might influence chronic diseases, shedding light on the broader implications for public health.
