All of Us is shaping how we understand health and disease. Research Highlights showcase the recent research powered by All of Us data and tools.
Featured Highlight

Checking Medicine Safety With All of Us
Researchers looked at All of Us and another database to learn more about medicine safety. They found five pairs of medicines that were linked to major health problems when taken at the same time. Large health datasets could give researchers a new way to study which medicines are safe to take together.
All of Us Data Clarifies What We Know About Hispanic Heart Health
Researchers used electronic health record data shared by All of Us participants to double-check heart disease rates among different racial and ethnic groups. These results challenge what we thought we knew about heart disease in Hispanic/Latino people.
Steps to Better Health with All of Us
A new study using All of Us participant Fitbit and electronic health record data finds that taking at least 8,200 daily steps is linked with lower rates of certain health conditions—including depression, sleep apnea, acid reflux, high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes.
Study Links Birthplace and Cancer Risk Among Hispanic All of Us Participants
Scientists used All of Us data to compare how liver cancer affects U.S. born and non-U.S. born Hispanic participants. U.S.-born Hispanic participants had higher rates of risk factors for liver cancer, but non-U.S.-born Hispanic participants showed higher prevalence of liver cancer.
All of Us Data Helps Better Predict Hospital Readmission for Patients with Sepsis
Researchers used All of Us data on social determinants of health to better predict which patients might return to the hospital after having sepsis (a serious infection). The factors that increased patients’ risk of readmission within 30 days of discharge included: delays in getting medical care, unstable housing and employment, lower education levels, and certain patient demographics (such as gender and race).
All of Us Meets FDA Standards to Deliver DNA Research Results to Participants
All of Us worked with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to test the program’s process for delivering health-related DNA results to participants. This rigorous testing showed that All of Us DNA results are accurate, precise, and reliable.
