  poster_title: 'Leveraging existing cohort studies of Mexican women to better understand Hispanic health'
  short_biography_: |
    Background: The underrepresentation of Hispanics in epidemiologic research is a significant gap in our understanding of health disparities. We aimed to compare the distribution of cancer risk factors among Hispanic women of Mexican heritage (HWMH) participating in existing cohorts to explore the possibility of future data-pooling efforts.

    Methods: We used baseline data of HWMH from three US-based studies, the Mexican American Cohort (MAC; n=19,797; 2001-17), the Multiethnic Cohort (MEC; n=18,007; 1993-96), and the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL; n=4,022; 2008-2011), and one from Mexico, the Mexican Teachers’ Cohort (MTC; n=115,275; 2006-08). 

    Results: Participants in MEC (60y) were older on average than MAC (41y), HCHS/SOL (46y), and MTC (43y) at enrollment. Most MAC (78%) and HCHS/SOL (85%) participants spoke Spanish as their primary language. Age at menarche (13y), age at menopause (46-48y), and smoking prevalence (~10%) were similar across studies. Parity was higher in MAC (3.8) and MEC (4.1) compared to HCHS/SOL (3.2) and the MTC (2.5). Ever use of oral contraceptives was more frequent in HCHS/SOL (64%) compared to MTC (46%), MAC (38%), and MEC (35%). Obesity, diabetes, and hypertension were more common in the US cohorts. 

    Conclusion: This work demonstrates the ability to pool NCI Cohort Consortium data to evaluate cancer risk factors in HWMH, an underrepresented group in cancer research. Similarities and differences in characteristics across cohorts can be leveraged to better understand health disparities in HWMH.
