Abstract:
Abstract Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in substantial changes in social interactions, work schedules, and socioeconomic factors that may negatively impact sleep onset, maintenance, and quality. The ongoing stress of the pandemic also may exacerbate existing racial/ethnic disparities in sleep health. In this study, we examined the effects of COVID-19 related distress on sleep-related impairment and sleep disturbances among trauma-exposed South Asian adults. Since a health advantage among foreign-born individuals has been previously noted in the literature (the “immigrant paradox”), we also assessed whether generational status (i.e., being born in the U.S. or not) moderated associations between COVID-19 related distress and sleep outcomes. Methods Participants were recruited through Amazon’s Mechanical Turk and completed online surveys on demographic information, the COVID-19 Stress Scale, The Life Events Checklist for DSM-5 (LEC-5), and PROMIS™ Sleep-Related Impairment and Sleep Disturbances Scale. The final sample included 316 South Asian adults residing in the U.S, who had been exposed to a traumatic event at some point in their lifetime. Most participants were male (55%) and U.S.-born citizens (64%), with an average age of 35.32 (SD = 9.52) years. Results Examination of t-scores for PROMIS™ sleep-related and sleep disturbances revealed that our sample endorsed slightly higher values than the general U.S. population. Greater COVID-19 distress was associated with more sleep disturbances (b = 0.09, p < .001, sr2 = .04) and sleep-related impairment (b = 0.20, p < .001, sr2 = .12). Generational status was not associated with sleep, nor did it modify associations between COVID-19 distress and sleep. Conclusion In our sample, we found that psychological distress triggered by the pandemic (e.g., fear of contamination, fear of the dangerousness of the virus, socioeconomic worries) was associated with greater sleep difficulties. Our findings highlight the importance of developing targeted interventions to cope with stress and sleep disturbances during the pandemic, particularly among vulnerable populations, such as those exposed to trauma. Our results did not support the immigration paradox: stress and sleep associations were similar regardless of generational status. Future studies are needed to better understand the role of generational status on sleep across different immigrant subgroups. Support (If Any)

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives South Asians, including Bangladeshis have a high incidence of chronic disease. The Metro-Detroit area has one of the largest populations of Bangladeshi-Americans in the USA. There is insufficient research on their dietary habits and lifestyle which are important determinants of health. The objective of this research was to investigate the dietary and lifestyle behaviors of Bangladeshi-Americans in Michigan, and compare them with the recommended dietary guidelines. Methods A culturally appropriate cross sectional survey with 25 questions was created and completed by residents (n = 49, 18 + years) of Bangladeshi descent living in Michigan. Quantitative and qualitative data regarding socioeconomic status, diet, physical activity, sleep and health were gathered. Data were analyzed using excel. Fruit and vegetable intakes were compared to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations. Results The majority (69%) of survey respondents were women. Only 36% of the participants consumed fruits daily; 62% of participants consumed vegetables every day. Rice was a daily staple consumed by 75% of respondents. Thirty seven % of participants reported that they were overweight while 66% were trying to lose weight. Barely 37% of participants exercised for 30 minutes or more daily. Only 16% reported getting the required 8 hours of sleep daily. Cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetes were commonly present and 53% reported taking medication daily. Conclusions Most participants did not meet Dietary Guidelines recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption or for physical activity. Further research into culturally appropriate lifestyle interventions and health education strategies to reduce the burden of disease in this vulnerable population is needed. Funding Sources NA.

Abstract:
ObjectivesTo investigate associations of parent-reported sleep characteristics with adiposity levels in a biethnic sample of young children.DesignA cross-sectional observational study.SettingThe Born in Bradford 1000 study, UK.ParticipantsChildren aged approximately 18 months (n=209; 40.2% South Asian; 59.8% white) and 36 months (n=162; 40.7% South Asian; 59.3% white).Primary and secondary outcome measuresChildren’s body mass index (BMI) z-score, sum of two-skinfolds (triceps and subscapular) and waist circumference. Adjusted regression was used to quantify associations of sleep parameters with adiposity stratified by ethnicity and age group. The results are beta coefficients (95% CIs) and unless otherwise stated represent the difference in outcomes for every 1-hour difference in sleep parameters.ResultsThe average sleep onset time was markedly later in South Asian (21:26±68 min) than white children (19:41±48 min). Later sleep onset was associated with lower BMI z-score (−0.3 (−0.5 to −0.0)) and sum of two-skinfolds (−1.5 mm (−2.8 mm to −0.2 mm)) in white children aged 18 months and higher BMI z-score in South Asian children aged 36 months (0.3 (0.0–0.5)). Longer sleep duration on weekends than weekdays was associated with higher BMI z-score (0.4 (0.1–0.8)) and waist circumference (1.2 cm (0.3–2.2 cm)) in South Asian children aged 18 months, and later sleep onset on weekends than weekdays was associated with larger sum of two-skinfolds (1.7 mm (0.3–3.1 mm)) and waist circumference (1.8 cm (0.6–2.9 cm)). Going to sleep ≥20 min later on weekends than weekdays was associated with lower waist circumference in white children aged 18 months (−1.7 cm (−3.2 cm to −0.1 cm)).ConclusionsSleep timing is associated with total and central adiposity in young children but associations differ by age group and ethnicity. Sleep onset times and regular sleep schedules may be important for obesity prevention.

Abstract:
The number of foreign students is increasing worldwide, and they suffer from acculturation to different environments or cultures. This pilot study examined the difference in overweight or obesity, changes in dietary habits after studying abroad and sleep quality according to acculturative degree among 225 Asian foreign students in South Korea. Most subjects (61.8%) experienced a low acculturative degree. The change in dietary habits after studying abroad showed a significant difference according to the acculturative degree (p < 0.001); however, there were no differences observed in sleep quality (p = 0.090) and prevalence of overweight or obesity according to acculturative degree (p = 0.101). Interestingly, a difference in the risk for being overweight or obese by sleep quality after being stratified into groups according to acculturative degree was observed. Among the groups with a low acculturative degree, subjects reporting poor sleep quality had a 2.875-fold (95% CI = 1.167–7.080) higher risk of being overweight or obese than those reporting good sleep quality. However, the risk of being overweight or obese was not different among the high acculturative group regardless of their sleep quality. The results showed that the degree of acculturation could influence the risk of being overweight or obese according to sleep quality among Asian foreign students.

Abstract:
There is an urgent need to better understand the problem of vitamin D deficiency, and its health effects, in population groups of different ethnicity. The principal aim of this project was to examine vitamin D status, sunlight exposure, and health outcomes in UK dwelling South Asian and Caucasian women. A cohort of 80 postmenopausal and 32 premenopausal South Asian and Caucasian women were assessed for vitamin D status (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D; 25(OH)D), musculoskeletal health, light exposure and sleep-wake cycles. In postmenopausal women, South Asians had a significantly lower vitamin D concentration than Caucasians (p=0.002), with 83% of Asians vs. 24% of Caucasians below 50nmol/l for 25(OH)D. Despite adaptations in tibial bone structure of the South Asians to improve bone strength, their bones were weaker by 38% compared with Caucasians (p<0.001). Stand-to-walk time (Asian mean (±SD) time 8.1 s ± 1.8 vs. Caucasian mean (±SD) time 6.9 s ± 1.4); p=0.002) and grip strength (Asian strength=70% of Caucasian strength, p<0.001) were worse in the South Asians. For both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, Caucasians showed a significantly higher actigraphic sleep efficiency (p<0.001) and lower sleep fragmentation (p=0.002) than Asians. There was a higher outdoor light exposure (over 1000 lux) in premenopausal and postmenopausal Caucasians than in same-age Asians (p=0.052). Qualitative analysis of interview data suggested that religious and cultural influences on family, work and community life may partly explain the reduced sunlight exposure in South Asian women, which contributes to vitamin D deficiency. The implications of this work are that older South Asian women are in need of intervention to improve vitamin D status. There is also some evidence for poorer musculoskeletal health, lower light exposure and poorer sleep in this group. The qualitative research included in the current study offers future intervention options to improve the health of UK dwelling South Asian women.
