Disease relevance of Indians, North American

 

Psychiatry related information on Indians, North American

  • The objective of this study was to assess trends in CVD and CVD risk factors among American Indians in Montana. METHODS: In 1999 and 2003, 1000 American Indian adults aged > or =18 years living on or near the seven reservations in Montana were interviewed each year using an adapted Behavior Risk Factor Surveillance System survey [6].
  • The American Indian Cancer Control Project is a 5-year program funded by the National Cancer Institute designed to promote smoking cessation among adult Indians living in Northern California. This article describes the result of our smoking prevalence survey [7].
  • The performance of 40 elderly Native Americans and 40 demographically similar Caucasians clinically diagnosed with Alzheimer disease were compared on the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease Neuropsychological Battery (CERAD-NB) [8].
  • The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children, Youth Version and the Composite International Diagnostic Interview, Substance Abuse Module were used to determine the diagnostic status of 89 American Indian adolescents aged between 13 and 18 years who were admitted to a residential treatment program [9].
  • This paper discusses treatment implications of comorbid psychopathology in the context of American Indian and Alaska Native culture and in the context of the Indian Health Service's Mental Health and Alcohol and Substance Abuse Program Branches [10].

Biological context of Indians, North American

  • Haplotypes constructed from Y-chromosome markers were used to trace the origins of Native Americans [21].
  • In stark contrast with the Y-chromosome, approximately 90% of the mtDNA gene pool of Antioquia is Amerind, with the frequency of the four Amerind founder lineages being closest to Native Americans currently living in the area [22].
  • This analysis suggests that certain Y-chromosome haplotypes were brought from Asia during the colonization of the Americas, and a differential gene flow was introduced into Native American populations from European males and females [23].
  • Among a population of Choctaw Native Americans with the highest prevalence of SSc yet described, a chromosome 15q haplotype containing the fibrillin-1 gene has been strongly associated with SSc [24].
  • CONCLUSION: RA can be distinctly characterized by serology among groups of American Indians living in the same geographic area [25].
