BMINDS is proud to announce that we have multiple abstracts. Our research is quite encompassing, so we have been able to collect varied and fascinating data.
Abstracts from 2023-2024
This abstract (lead authors Sarah Livshits and Katerina Nagorny) focused on the relationship between food insecurity, health-promoting activities, and physical activities. The PCA results show that those experiencing FI are less likely to perform personal care tasks, participate in social activities, and perform vigorous physical activity. Specifically, non-white participants are more likely to experience FI, while white participants are more likely to have better diet quality and perform personal care tasks. FI impacts self-care, and social and physical activities in a race-dependent manner. By limiting participation in these activities, FI may negatively impact quality of life, mental health, and community engagement.

This abstract (lead authors Ushima Chowdry and Gabrielle Castillo) focused on the relationship between food insecurity, diet quality, and self esteem. The results reveal a negative correlation between not having enough food to eat and feeling satisfied with oneself and a positive association between running out of food and feeling like a failure. Negative correlations between not feeling proud of oneself and consuming fruits and vegetables were also found. In conclusion, these preliminary results suggest that a nutrient-dense diet may affect the self-esteem of young adults, potentially through modulation of brain chemistry.

This abstract (lead authors: Katerina Nagorny and Sarah Livshits) focused on the relationship between food insecurity and health promoting activities (HPA). The results indicate that being unable to eat healthy and nutritious food was negatively associated with performing personal care tasks and social activities. It was also found that having to skip a meal was positively associated with being upset when something happens unexpectedly and feeling unable to control the important things in life. Further, performing personal care tasks was negatively associated with eating fast food and positively associated with consuming dark green, leafy vegetables, whole grains, and fruits. Our results suggest that food insecurity can negatively impact mental well-being, diet quality, and health-promoting behaviors. Interventions aimed at improving food security, and therefore diet quality, may have benefits for improving overall health and well-being.

This abstract (lead authors: Gabrielle Castillo and Alexis Valerius) focused on the relationship between food insecurity and intensity in physical activity. Our research suggests a negative relationship between food insecurity and intensity in physical activity participation. This abstract was accepted into the 2024 American Physiology Summit. It was also published in the journal Physiology.

This abstract (lead authors: Elliot Ifraimov and Ushima Chowdry) focused on the relationship between food insecurity sleep quality and perceived stress. Our research showed that consuming fruits was positively correlated with sleep satisfaction while consuming nuts was positively correlated with staying awake during the day. The results suggest a strong relationship between food insecurity, diet quality, mental well-being, and sleep quality. Those who are food insecure are less likely to have adequate nutrition, which could raise their stress levels and increase difficulty sleeping. On the other hand, those who consume a well-balanced diet are more likely to have better quality sleep; however, it is worth noting that those who show signs of mental distress are less likely to have a good sleep quality.

Abstracts from 2022-2023
This abstract (lead authors: Katerina Nagorny and Megan Welch) focused on the relationship between food insecurity and academic motivation. Our research suggests a positive relationship between food insecurity and deficits in academic motivation. This abstract was accepted into the 2023 American Physiology Summit, where it was presented and awarded Abstract of Distinction. It was also published in the journal Physiology. This abstract was also presented at the 2023 Binghamton Biomedical Research Conference.

This abstract (lead authors: Sabrina Bubis and Ushima Chowdhury) focused on the relationship between food insecurity, nutrition, stress, and resilience. Our research suggests a positive relationship between food insecurity and the consumption of pre-packaged food and stress, and a negative relationship between food insecurity and resilience. This abstract was accepted into the 2023 American Physiology Summit, where it was presented and awarded Abstract of Distinction. It was also published in the journal Physiology.
https://doi.org/10.1152/physiol.2023.38.S1.5730130
This abstract (lead authors: Megan Welch and Lexis Rosenberg) focused on the relationship between skipping a meal, mental distress, and perceived stress. Our research suggests that skipping a meal due to food insecurity has a positive relationship with mental distress, which negatively impacts one's quality of life. This abstract was accepted into the 2023 American Physiology Summit, where it was presented and awarded Abstract of Distinction. It was also published in the journal Physiology.

Abstracts from 2021-2022
This abstract (lead authors: Lexis Rosenberg and Megan Welch) focused on the relationship between ingredients commonly found in fast food diets and mental distress and perceived stress. Our research suggests a positive correlation between fast food and mental distress and perceived stress. This abstract was accepted into the 2022 Experimental Biology conference, where it was presented.
This abstract (lead authors: Lindsey Moser and Tharsana Kumarasivam) examined the relationship between omega-3 fatty acids in the diet and mental distress and perceived stress. Our findings suggest that omega-3 fatty acids are inversely correlated with perceived stress and mental distress. This abstract was accepted into the 2022 Experimental Biology conference, where it was presented By Tharsana Kumariasivam and Michael Colabelli.
