    Abstract Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), heavily influenced by physical activity (PA), represents a strong and independent risk factor for a wide range of health conditions, most notably, cardiovascular disease. Substantial disparities in CRF have been identified between white and non-white populations. These disparities may partly account for group differences in susceptibility to poor health outcomes, including non-communicable disease. Race and ethnic differences in CRF may partly be explained by social injustices rooted in persistent structural and systemic racism. These forces contribute to environments that are unsupportive for opportunities to achieve optimal CRF levels. This review aims to examine, through the lens of social justice, the inequities in key social ecological factors, including socioeconomic status, the built environment, and structural racism, that underly the systemic differences in CRF and PA in vulnerable communities. Further, this review highlights current public health initiatives, as well as opportunities in future research, to address inequities and enhance CRF through the promotion of regular PA.

    Abstract The prevalence of unhealthy living behaviors is largely driven by environments that support them and has become a key concern at global, national, and individual (patient) levels. Healthy Living Medicine offers a compelling path forward to move people towards healthy living behaviors and better health outcomes when complemented by socially just and equitable public campaigns and initiatives. Some of the concepts that are critical for these campaigns and initiatives that will be discussed in this manuscript include the social determinants of health, the communication loop, health literacy, and implicit bias and discrimination. Considering what is practical and achievable, examples of actionable, socially-just strategies will be described to inform and encourage health professionals and other stakeholders to prioritize healthy living and reverse the poor health trajectory among our most vulnerable populations.

    Abstract Introduction: Food insecurity and limited healthful food access are critical public health issues in the United States (U.S), with unequal distribution across regions. This report tracked the prevalence of food insecurity, healthful food access, and the food environment, as cultural experiences according to the American Nations Model.
    Methods: Data from the County Health Rankings & Roadmaps program on food insecurity, insufficient healthy food access, and the food environment index were matched at the zip-code level with the American Nations dataset from the Nationhood Lab. Percentages for all three food indicators were estimated based on the population of each American Nation region.
    Results: Results show significant disparities across regional cultures. The First Nation, heavily populated by American Indian and Alaska Native communities, reports the highest prevalence of food insecurity (17 %), lowest healthful food access (21 %) and food environment index (4.6 out of 10). New France, Deep South, Great Polynesia, Greater Appalachia, El Norte and Far West, areas with higher minority populations, also show elevated food insecurity rates (range, 11-14 %) and reduced healthful food access (5-9 %). Regions with more favorable metrics across all three indicators include the Spanish Caribbean, Midlands, Yankeedom, Left Coast, Tidewater, and the New Netherlands.
    Conclusions: Disparities in food insecurity, healthful food access, and food environments appear to stem from geographical diversity and cultural history, underscoring the need to recognize and address cultural differences among the American Nations. This insight can inform policy and practices aimed at achieving food security and health equity across the country.

    Abstract In March 2020, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was officially declared a global pandemic, leading to closure of public facilities, enforced social distancing and stay-at-home mandates to limit exposures and reduce transmission rates. While the severity of this "lockdown" period varied by country, the disruptions of the pandemic on multiple facets of life (e.g., daily activities, education, the workplace) as well as the social, economic, and healthcare systems impacts were unprecedented. These disruptions and impacts are having a profound negative effect on multiple facets of behavioral health and psychosocial wellbeing that are inextricably linked to cardiometabolic health and associated with adverse outcomes of COVID-19. For example, adoption of various cardiometabolic risk behavior behaviors observed during the pandemic contributed to irretractable trends in weight gain and poor mental health, raising concerns on the possible long-term consequences of the pandemic on cardiometabolic disease risk, and vulnerabilities to future viral pandemics. The purpose of this review is to summarize the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic on cardiometabolic health risk behaviors, particularly related to poor diet quality, physical inactivity and sedentary behaviors, smoking, sleep patterns and mental health. Additional insights into how the pandemic has amplified cardiovascular risk behaviors, particularly in our most vulnerable populations, and the potential implications for the future if these modifiable risk behaviors do not become better controlled, are described.
