Abstract in brief
- The study explores how discrimination affects inflammation in adolescents of color and finds that African American males experiencing high discrimination show increased inflammatory markers over time, indicating a potential link to mental and physical health issues.
- In a second study, adolescent boys of color with greater discrimination exposure demonstrated a more proinflammatory immune response, including higher cytokine activity and more inflammatory cells, while girls did not show these effects.
- The findings suggest that discrimination has a significant impact on inflammatory processes specifically in males of color, highlighting the need to address societal discrimination to promote health equity.]
