Albert Einstein College of Medicine
Dorothy and William Manealoff Foundation
Molly Rosen Chair in Social Medicine
Emerita Principal Investigator of the Women's Health Initiative
7:30 AM: Forchheimer Medical Science Building, 1st Floor Lecture Hall
Dr. Sylvia Wassertheil-Smoller's primary research focuses on cardiovascular disease and associated risk factors, particularly hypertension. Her Women's Health Initiative (WHI) is a set of clinical trials and observational studies of heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, cognition, nutrition and other health issues facing older women. Extensive in scope, the WHI involves 39 clinical centers in the U.S. involving 161,000 women ages 50-79, with long-term follow-up. Dr. Wassertheil-Smoller also examines biomarkers predicting stroke, brain imaging studies, influence of hormones on dementia, and effect of depression and medications on cardiovascular outcomes. As the WHI conducts extended follow-up and new ancillary studies, the focus will be on aging, obesity, long-term effects of hormones and associated genetic studies.
Dr. Wassertheil-Smoller's Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) involves 16,000 Hispanic men and women of different ethnic origins, ages 18-74, followed in four field sites. She and her colleagues look at risk and protective factors for cardiovascular health in relation to ethnicity, acculturation and other variables. They also assess the risks for diabetes and sleep disorders, and examine cognition, pulmonary function, physical activity, hearing, dental health and dietary patterns. Blood biomarker and genetic studies are as well a component of the HCHS/SOL.
