Residential Segregation and Physiological Dysregulation among Black CARDIA participants: A Longitudinal Study

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT Although research linking race-based residential segregation to health outcomes has been conducted for decades, there is currently a lack of understanding of how exposure to residential segregation affects the universal aging process that underlies development of chronic disease. Our long-term goal is to understand how a fundamental cause of racial health disparities, residential segregation, leads to physiologic dysregulation through examination of modifiable causal pathways. The overall objectives of this application are (i) to measure the association between residential segregation and age acceleration over the adult life course; and (ii) identify the mechanisms…
