  1. Individual Behavior, Biological Factors and Communication with Clinicians Eliseo J. Pérez-Stable, MD EPI 222: Health Disparities Research Methods April 12, 2012

Conceptual Framework: Multi-level Determinants of Health Disparities Contextual Individual-level Physical environment Demographics - age, gender, race, ethnicity, education, income Social environment Psychosocial - beliefs, attitudes, adherence, coping, personality Health & health care disparities Health care system Technical aspects of health care Behavior - exercise, diet, alcohol, smoking, sexual behavior, substance use Communication with clinicians Biological - genetics,stress, allostatic load, opiate receptors, metabolism, telomeres Economic resources

  3. Life Expectancy at Birth

  4. Infant Mortality in California, 2006(per 1000 live births)

  5. Cancer Incidence by Site and Race/Ethnicity in Men, U.S. 2003 - 2007 (per 100,000 age-adjusted)

  6. Cigarette Smoking in the U.S. – 2010National Health Interview Survey

  7. Why Differences in Lung Cancer? • Prevalence of smoking–10-20 yr lag • Intensity of smoking – Number of cigarettes per day • Other environmental exposures – asbestos, air pollution, radon, combustion products • Genetic predispositions – family history, specific genes

  8. Multiethnic Cohort Study: Lung Cancer by Smoking Intensity • 183,813 AfAms, Japanese-Am, Latino, Native Hawaiian, Whites; age 45 - 75, in California and Hawaii • 1979 cases lung cancer, identified through SEER, from 1993-2001; 1135 in men • African Americans as referent group • Stratify by smoking intensity • Relative risk of Lung Cancer by race/ethnicity within smoking level Haiman CA, et al. N Engl J Med. 2006;354(4):333-42

  9. Relative Risk of Lung Cancer by Race/Ethnicity and Smoking Intensity Haiman CA, et al. N Engl J Med. 2006;354(4):333-42

  10. TobaccoCancer Biomarkers • 4-(methylnitrsoamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), a carcinogen itself and metabolite of the tobacco-specific carcinogen (NNK) • Measured in 5 ml urine, 45 d half-life • NNAL excretion is highly correlated to nicotine intake per cigarette and with lung cancer development • Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH): combustion products and smoked and over cooked meats

  11. Nicotine Metabolism and Intake in African Americans • African Americans have more lung cancer and higher cotinine levels per cigarette despite fewer cigarettes/day compared to Whites • Total and renal clearance of cotinine were 20% lower in African Americans • Nicotine intake per cigarette was 30% greater in African Americans and thus tobacco smoke intake is higher JAMA 1999;280:152-56

  12. Nicotine and Carcinogen Exposure in White and African American Smokers • 61 Black and 67 White smokers with average of 17.2 and 18.3 CPD • Cotinine level: 179 vs. 164 ng/ml • Cotinine/CPD higher in Blacks: 12.5 vs. 9.7 • Carcinogen exposure was inversely related to CPD and stronger for Blacks and those smoking mentholated brands • Blacks smoke cigarettes differently Benowitz NL, et al.NTR 2011; 13: 772-783.

  13. Nicotine Metabolism in Chinese and Latinos • Metabolic clearance of nicotine and cotinine in Latinos was similar to Whites and lower among Chinese • Intake of nicotine per cigarette: • Chinese: 0.73 mg (0.53 to 0.94) • Latinos: 1.05 mg (0.85 to 1.25) • Whites 1.10 (0.91 to 1.30) • Nicotine intake = tobacco smoke

  14. Personalize Cessation based on Biological Metrics? • CYP2A6 genotype (main nicotine metabolizing enzyme) • 3HC/Cot as marker of metabolism • African American light smokers • Persons with slower metabolism had higher nicotine levels • Slowest 3HC/Cot quartile had higher quit rates with OR = 1.85 (1.1-3.2) Ho MK, et al, ClinPharmacolTher 2009; 85: 635-43.

  15. Genetics of Nicotine Dependence • Focus on Cholinergic nicotinic receptor (alpha3/alpha5/beta4 complex (CHRN A3/A5/B4) subunit gene cluster on chromosome 15q24-25 • Association of CHRNA5 SNP rs16969968 with nicotine dependence in both Blacks (OR=2.04; 1.15–3.62) and Whites (OR = 1.40; 1.23 – 1.59 Wei J, et al. Human Genetics 2010; 127: 691-8

  16. Ethnic Differences in Serum Cotinine Levels: NHANES 3 > 1 5 ng /ml ≤ 1 5 ng /ml p e r c e n t p e r c e n t A f r ic an A ms s m o k e r 9 6 4 non - s m o k e r 2 9 8 W hi t e s s m o k e r 9 4 6 non - s m o k e r 2 9 8 M e x ic an A ms s m o k e r 7 2 2 8 non - s m o k e r 1 9 9 J A MA 19 9 8;28 0 :13 5 -13 9

  17. Optimal Serum Cotinine for Distinguishing Smoking Status • NHANES: 13,078 nonsmokers and 3,078 smokers; based on ROC curves • Whites: 5.92 ng/ml • African Americans: 4.85 ng/ml • Mexican Americans: 0.84 ng/ml • Overall cut point is 3.08 ng/ml; 96% sensitivity and 97% specificity • 15 ng/ml as a cutoff to define biochemical smoking underestimates smokers Benowitz N, Am J Epidemiol, November 19, 2008

  18. SHS Exposure: %Non-smokers with cotinine ≥ 0.05 ng/ml

  19. Maternal smoking by race/ethnicity ** National prevalence in 2005 = 14% *

  22. Cancer Incidence by Site and Race/Ethnicity, Women, U.S. 2003 - 2007 (per 100,000 age-adjusted) SEER registries, US

  23. Genetic Ancestry and Breast CA • 106 ancestry markers genotyped in 440 cases and 597 controls • Immigrants + less accult protects • European ancestry associated with higher risk of breast CA: OR = 1.79 • After adjustment, association was attenuated to OR = 1.39 (1.06 – 2.11) Fejerman L, Cancer Res 2008; 68:9723-28

  24. Genetic Ancestry and Breast Cancer in Mexico • 106 ancestry markers genotyped in 846 cases and 1035 controls • Mexican City, Veracruz, Monterrey • Every 25% increase in European ancestry was associated with increased risk of breast CA: OR = 1.20 (95% CI = 1.03-1.41) compared to women with <25% Fejerman L, Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2010; online March 23

  25. Acculturation: Unifying Definition Change in behaviors, values, and social identities Complex process that involves change toward reference group: Dominant group in society (White middle-class) Minority sub-culture/group (ethnic enclave, inner-city ghettos) Change varies by context and ethnic group

  26. Segmented Assimilation Does not assume linear, one dimensional path Classical: mainstream, dominant Selective: upward social mobility and preservation of culture Downward: disadvantage, poverty, adoption of sub-culture

  27. Conceptual framework for contextual influences, acculturation and behavior 2nd GENERATION+ Behavior: Physical activity, diet COMMUNITY OF ORIGIN RECEIVING COMMUNITY 1ST GENERATION Behavior: Physical activity, diet Socio-economic conditions Co-ethnic concentration Socio-economic conditions Social cohesion (social capital) Social cohesion (social capital) Social norms related to behavior Social norms related to behavior Built environment Built environment

  44. Allostatic Load Score in Women: NHANES, 1999-2005 • CV: SBP, DBP, homocysteine, HR; Metabolic: BMI, A1C, HDL, Tchol; Inflammation: albumin, CRP • Higher scores by age, Blacks, less than high school, less income, formerly marries, US born • Significant interaction by race-ethnicity and age; Blacks at 40-49 14% higher AL than Whites 50-59 and MexAms similar • Foreign born had 11% lower AL

  45. CHD Prediction Scores By EthnicityColor in Framingham? • Applied sex specific CHD functions to 6 ethnically diverse cohorts • White and Black men and women prediction of CHD events works well • Japanese & Latino men and American Indian men & women–risk is overestimated • Adjust for different rates of risk factors and underlying rate of CHD • JAMA 2001; 286:180-7

  46. Chronic Stress, Race, Unhealthy Behaviors: HPA Axis • More depression and suicides in Whites and more substance use/unhealthy eating in Blacks • Americas’ Changing Lives S: 874 B, 1906 W • Stressors associated with chronic conditions • Whites: Unhealthy behaviors strengthened stressors leading to more depression • Blacks: Unhealthy behaviors protective for mental health conditions but overall number of chronic conditions increased • Jackson J, AJPH 2010; 100: 933-39

  47. TB Rate Ratio by EthnicityDemographics and SES

  48. Communication with Clinicians Language

  49. Definition of Limited English Proficiency (LEP) • 18% of adults LEP in 2000 census; 5% live in linguistically isolated households • Definitions of LEP by US census question–no routine method • Response to survey, self assess, fluency scales • Acculturation, education, legal status

  50. LEP Status and Health Outcomes • LEP status not associated with less quality of care in Diabetes (tests, A1c, SBP), immunizations for ≥ 65, psychiatric evaluations, perceived care quality in past 12 mo, cancer screening tests and evaluation of abnormal tests • LEP is associated with less health info on telephone, harder access, longer waits
