- Associations Between Sexual Orientation Dimensions and Cardiometabolic Diseases: Data From the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III (NESARC-III). [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Our results in a nationally representative sample indicate that the sexual orientation dimension of behavior is linked with prevalent CVD and diabetes. This finding suggests that assessing multiple sexual orientation dimensions may aid in identifying sexual minority subgroups in greatest need of cardiometabolic disease prevention efforts. Although mechanisms such as stigma and minority stress have been proposed, future studies are required to elucidate mechanisms underlying the bisexual behavior-cardiometabolic disease relationship.

- Differences in Emotion Expression, Suppression, and Cardiovascular Consequences Between Black and White Americans in the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) Study. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Overall, results are consistent with theoretical accounts that Black Americans engage more frequently in expressive suppression, which in turn is related to higher cardiovascular risk. Additional research is needed to further test this claim, particularly in real-world contexts and self-reports of in-the-moment usage of expressive suppression.

- Learned Symptom-Specific Fear Toward a Visceral Sensation and Its Impact on Perceptual Habituation. [Journal Article]Psychosom Med. 2024 Nov-Dec 01; 86(9):790-799.PM
- CONCLUSIONS: Acquired fear to nonpainful esophageal sensations does not affect their perceptual habituation patterns.

- Correlates and Predictors of Symptom Severity Over Time in People Under Investigation for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Symptom burden in patients with suspected POTS remained high over 6 months. Psychosocial factors explained a large amount of the variance in symptoms at baseline. As symptoms did not change/improve over time, baseline symptoms accounted for most of the variance in symptoms at 6 months. An integrated approach addressing psychosocial factors alongside medical treatments may promote adjustment to the condition and lessen symptom burden for this group.

- Anger Expression Styles, Cynical Hostility, and the Risk for the Development of Type 2 Diabetes or Diabetes-Related Heart Complications: Secondary Analysis of the Health and Retirement Study. [Journal Article]Psychosom Med. 2024 Nov-Dec 01; 86(9):758-767.PM
- CONCLUSIONS: Anger expression styles were differentially related to diabetes outcomes. These findings demonstrate the value of expanding the operationalization of anger beyond trait anger in this literature and encourage further investigation of anger expression styles.

- Ecologically Assessed Sleep Duration and Arterial Stiffness in Healthy Men and Women. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Certain sleep duration-AS associations may be sex-specific. Assessing sleep and momentary AS in ecologically valid conditions outside the research laboratory is valuable to understand these relations. Although this investigation should be replicated, findings raise the question of whether interventions to target sleep duration also reduce AS.

- Psychological Factors Modulate Quantitative Sensory Testing Measures in Fibromyalgia Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression Analysis. [Systematic Review]
- CONCLUSIONS: FMS patients with higher anxiety levels at baseline showed a smaller increase in PT after the intervention. Depression factor was not significant in either changes in anxiety or depression. Baseline anxiety levels should be monitored as possible confounders of QST measurements. Understanding how psychological factors and QST are related in FMS patients is critical for improving the syndrome's management and treatment.Protocol Registration: CRD42023429397.

- Neonatal Hair Cortisol and Birth Outcomes: An Empirical Study and Meta-Analysis. [Meta-Analysis]

- Stressors and Subjective Cognition in Daily Life: Tests of Physical Activity and Age as Moderators. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: The lack of stress-buffering effects for same-day PA and age raises questions about the contexts in which PA promotes cognitive functioning and about age-related processes underlying stress and cognition. Future work could examine the mechanisms that might explain the link between daily stress and cognition function, as well as the associations of different intensity and forms of physical activity on stress across age groups.

- Sleep Duration, Insomnia, and Associated Factors Among Ukrainians 1 Year After Russia's Full-Scale Invasion. [Journal Article]
- CONCLUSIONS: Sleep health among Ukrainian adults 1 year into the war is concerning, with more than one-third reporting inadequate sleep or insomnia. More studies are needed on impacts and interventions for sleep health during and after the war.
