Investigating the impact of peripheral artery disease on daily physical activity in Latinos
PASOS: Peripheral Artery Disease Study of SOL. An ancillary study of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos
['FUNDING_R01'] · ALBERT EINSTEIN COLLEGE OF MEDICINE · NIH-10447624
This study is looking at how lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) impacts daily activities for adults, especially in the Latino community, to help improve how we manage and diagnose this condition.

What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding how lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) affects daily physical activity among adults, particularly within the Latino community. By evaluating participants from the Hispanic Community Health Study, the research will utilize clinical assessments, accelerometry, and physical function tests to gather objective data on activity levels. The goal is to identify patterns of physical activity that may indicate the presence of PAD and to assess the relationship between these patterns and major health outcomes. This comprehensive approach aims to improve PAD management and diagnosis.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adults aged 21 and older who are part of the Latino community and may be experiencing symptoms of peripheral artery disease.
Not a fit: Patients who are not part of the Latino community or those who do not have symptoms of peripheral artery disease may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better management strategies for patients with peripheral artery disease, potentially reducing the risk of severe health outcomes such as amputation.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in using objective measures of physical activity to assess health outcomes in similar populations, indicating that this approach is promising.
