Associations between metabolic dysregulation and circulating biomarkers of fibrosis: the Cardiovascular Health Study
(2015)Aim. Fibrosis is one postulated pathway by which diabetes produces cardiac and other systemic complications. Our aim was to determine which metabolic parameters are associated with circulating fibrosis-related biomarkers ... -
Associations between nut consumption and inflammatory biomarkers
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Background: Increased nut consumption has been associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as a healthy lipid profile. However, the associations between nut consumption and inflammatory ... -
Associations between outdoor temperature and markers of inflammation: a cohort study
(BioMed Central, 2010)Background: Associations between ambient temperature and cardiovascular mortality are well established. This study investigated whether inflammation could be part of the mechanism leading to temperature-related cardiovascular ... -
The associations between Parkinson’s disease and cancer: the plot thickens
(BioMed Central, 2015)Epidemiological studies support a general inverse association between the risk of cancer development and Parkinson’s disease (PD). In recent years however, increasing amount of eclectic evidence points to a positive ... -
Associations between Prenatal Exposure to Black Carbon and Memory Domains in Urban Children: Modification by Sex and Prenatal Stress
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Background: Whether fetal neurodevelopment is disrupted by traffic-related air pollution is uncertain. Animal studies suggest that chemical and non-chemical stressors interact to impact neurodevelopment, and that this ... -
Associations between Recreational and Commuter Cycling, Changes in Cycling, and Type 2 Diabetes Risk: A Cohort Study of Danish Men and Women
(Public Library of Science, 2016)Background: Cycling is a recreational activity and mode of commuting with substantial potential to improve public health in many countries around the world. The aim of this study was to examine prospective associations ... -
Associations between smoking behavior-related alleles and the risk of melanoma
(Impact Journals LLC, 2016)Several studies have reported that cigarette smoking is inversely associated with the risk of melanoma. This study further tested whether incorporating genetic factors will provide another level of evaluation of mechanisms ... -
Associations between Traffic-Related Black Carbon Exposure and Attention in a Prospective Birth Cohort of Urban Children
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013)Background: Ambient air pollution may have neurotoxic effects in children. Data examining associations between traffic-related air pollution and attention domains remain sparse. Objectives: We examined associations between ... -
Associations between unprocessed red and processed meat, poultry, seafood and egg intake and the risk of prostate cancer: A pooled analysis of 15 prospective cohort studies
(Wiley, 2016)Reports relating meat intake to prostate cancer risk are inconsistent. Associations between these dietary factors and prostate cancer were examined in a consortium of 15 cohort studies. During follow-up, 52,683 incident ... -
Associations of Bowel Movement Frequency with Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality among US Women
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Emerging evidence suggests a potential impact of gastrointestinal function on cardiometabolic risk. Abnormal bowel movements have been related to various cardiovascular risk factors such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, ... -
Associations of Childhood Socioeconomic Status and Adulthood Height with Functional Limitations Among Japanese Older People: Results From the JAGES 2010 Project
(2014)We examined the associations between childhood socioeconomic status and adulthood height with functional limitations in old age.Data were obtained from the baseline survey of the Japan Gerontological Evaluation Study 2010, ... -
Associations of Cognitive Function Scores with Carbon Dioxide, Ventilation, and Volatile Organic Compound Exposures in Office Workers: A Controlled Exposure Study of Green and Conventional Office Environments
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2015)Background: The indoor built environment plays a critical role in our overall well-being because of both the amount of time we spend indoors (~90%) and the ability of buildings to positively or negatively influence our ... -
Associations of cord blood metabolites with early childhood obesity risk
(2015)Background/Objective Rapid postnatal weight gain is a potentially modifiable risk factor for obesity and metabolic syndrome. To identify markers of rapid infancy weight gain and childhood obesity, we analyzed the metabolome ... -
Associations of Early Childhood Manganese and Lead Coexposure with Neurodevelopment
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2011)Background: Most toxicologic studies focus on a single agent, although this does not reflect real-world scenarios in which humans are exposed to multiple chemicals. Objectives: We prospectively studied manganese–lead ... -
Associations of Fine Particulate Matter Species with Mortality in the United States: A Multicity Time-Series Analysis
(NLM-Export, 2014)Background: Epidemiological studies have examined the association between PM2.5 and mortality, but uncertainty remains about the seasonal variations in PM2.5-related effects and the relative importance of species. Objectives: ... -
Associations of iron metabolism genes with blood manganese levels: a population-based study with validation data from animal models
(BMC, 2011)Background: Given mounting evidence for adverse effects from excess manganese exposure, it is critical to understand host factors, such as genetics, that affect manganese metabolism. Methods: Archived blood samples, collected ... -
Associations of Leg Fat Accumulation with Adiposity-Related Biological Factors and Risk of Metabolic Syndrome
(2012)The association between regional fat mass distribution and cardiometabolic risk factors has been inconsistent in the literature, and data for ethnic minority groups, such as non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics, are lacking. ... -
The associations of leg lean mass with foot pain, posture and function in the Framingham foot study
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Foot disorders are common in older adults and associated with impaired lower extremity function. Reduced muscle mass may play a role in the etiology of foot disorders and consequent poor function. Methods: We ... -
