Article Abstract
The relationship between family dynamics and health has been extensively studied, but the specific pathways involved are not yet fully understood. The role of intimate partner relationships in promoting and maintaining healthy lifestyle behaviors remains understudied, particularly in minority populations. This study addressed this gap by examining how frequent spousal and familial interactions affect healthy lifestyle behaviors in young Asian Americans. Survey data from Asian American adults aged 18 to 35, collected in March 2021, is used to compare two groups: one interacting most with an intimate partner and the other interacting most with other non-intimate family members. The results showed that young Asian Americans interact most with their spouses/partners and mothers. Participants who interacted most frequently with their spouses/partners reported a greater influence in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, particularly in the domains of exercise and sleep. Moreover, those who interacted more with their spouses/partners exhibited a greater sense of connectedness, which impacted spousal and personal influence on healthy lifestyle behaviors. The findings suggest that promoting interaction and fostering stronger spousal/partner relationships can positively influence the healthy lifestyle behaviors of young Asian Americans.

Purpose: To investigate how a group-based lifestyle intervention affects food choices and if the dietary patterns at the end of the intervention are associated with incidence type 2 diabetes (T2D). We also investigated if the possible associations between diet and T2D risk were modified by the genetic risk for T2D.
Methods: Participants in the T2D-GENE study were men with prediabetes aged 50-75 years, body mass index ≥ 25 kg/m, belonging in either low or high genetic risk score (GRS) tertile for T2D.

Active-duty military personnel often face significant mental health challenges, including high rates of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. Despite the clear need for mental health interventions, service members frequently underutilize available services due to time constraints, concerns about career impact, and confidentiality issues. This study evaluates the acceptability and clinical impact of the Health Education Training (HET) program, a 50-min, single-session, computer-based intervention designed to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors among active-duty military personnel.

Background: The detrimental health effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are well documented, yet their impact on metabolic multimorbidity remains unclear. This study aimed to examine the associations of ACEs with adult metabolic disease and multimorbidity, and to assess whether adopting a healthy lifestyle in adulthood could mitigate these risks.
Methods: We analyzed 70,438 participants without any metabolic disease at enrolment in the UK Biobank.

Background: Children in the United States have poor diet quality, increasing their risk for chronic disease burden later in life. Caregivers' feeding behaviors are a critical factor in shaping lifelong dietary habits. The Strong Families Start at Home/Familias Fuertes Comienzan en Casa (SFSH) was a 6-month, home-based, pilot randomized-controlled feasibility trial that aimed to improve the diet quality of 2-5-year-old children and promote positive parental feeding practices among a predominantly Hispanic/Latine sample.
