A 25 Year Prospective Study of Plasma Adiponectin and Leptin Concentrations and Prostate Cancer Risk and Survival
(American Association for Clinical Chemistry, 2010)BACKGROUND: Adipocytokines may mediate the association between adiposity and lethal prostate cancer outcomes. Methods: In the Physicians' Health Study, we prospectively examined the association of prediagnostic plasma ... -
A case-control study of GST polymorphisms and arsenic related skin lesions
(BMC, 2007)Background: Polymorphisms in GSTT1, GSTM1 and GSTP1 impact detoxification of carcinogens by GSTs and have been reported to increase susceptibility to environmentally related health outcomes. Individual factors in arsenic ... -
A Cohort Study of Tumoral LINE-1 Hypomethylation and Prognosis in Colon Cancer
(Oxford University Press, 2008)Genome-wide DNA hypomethylation plays has an important role in genomic instability and colorectal carcinogenesis. However, the relationship between cellular DNA methylation level and patient outcome remains uncertain. Using ... -
A Common 8q24 Variant in Prostate and Breast Cancer from a Large Nested Case-Control Study
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2007)Two recent studies independently identified polymorphisms in the 8q24 region, including a single nucleotide polymorphism (rsl447295), strongly associated with prostate cancer risk. Here, we replicate the overall association ... -
A Comparison of Different Methods for Evaluating Diet, Physical Activity, and Long-Term Weight Gain in 3 Prospective Cohort Studies
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Background: The insidious pace of long-term weight gain (similar to 1 lb/y or 0.45 kg/y) makes it difficult to study in trials; long-term prospective cohorts provide crucial evidence on its key contributors. Most previous ... -
A Comparison of the Clinical and Cost-Effectiveness of 3 Intervention Strategies for AIDS Wasting
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2005)Objective: To compare oxandrolone (OX) or strength training with nutrition alone (NA) for AIDS wasting.Subjects: Fifty patients with AIDS; 47 completing the study. Interventions: Randomization to (1) NA with placebo pills, ... -
A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Folic Acid Fortification Policy in the United States
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)Objective: To quantity the health and economic Outcome, associated with changes in folic acid consumption following the fortification of enriched grain products in the USA. Design: Cost-effectiveness analysis. Setting: ... -
A cross-sectional study of endogenous tissue plasminogen activator, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and apolipoproteins A-I, A-II, and B-100

A dietary pattern that is associated with C-peptide and risk of colorectal cancer in women
(Springer (part of Springer Nature), 2012)Higher serum C-peptide concentrations have shown to be associated with an increased risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Therefore, we used diet information to identify food groups that correlated with fasting serum concentrations ... -
A Food Service Intervention Improves Whole Grain Access at Lunch in Rural Elementary Schools
(2014)BACKGROUND Whole grain (WG) options are often limited in schools, which may impact rural, low-income students who rely on school meals for a substantial portion of their food intake. This study examined the changes in the ... -
A gender-specific measure of binge drinking among college students.

A genetic variant at the fatty acid-binding protein aP2 locus reduces the risk for hypertriglyceridemia, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
(National Academy of Sciences, 2006)Obesity and the associated pathologies including dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease constitute a major threat to global human health. Yet, the genetic factors that differentially ... -
A genome-wide analysis of gene–caffeine consumption interaction on basal cell carcinoma
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Animal models have suggested that oral or topical administration of caffeine could inhibit ultraviolet-induced carcinogenesis via the ataxia telangiectasia and rad3 (ATR)-related apoptosis. Previous epidemiological studies ... -
A genome-wide investigation of food addiction
(Wiley, 2016)Objective: Evidence of parallels between drug addiction and eating behavior continues to accumulate. Genetic studies of addictive substances have yielded a number of susceptibility loci that point to common higher order ... -
A Genome-wide Pleiotropy Scan for Prostate Cancer Risk
(Elsevier, 2015)Background: No single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) specific for aggressive prostate cancer have been identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Objective: To test if SNPs associated with other traits may also ... -

A glossary for health inequalities
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2002)In this glossary, the authors address eight key questions pertinent to health inequalities: (1) What is the distinction between health inequality and health inequity?; (2) Should we assess health inequalities themselves, ... -
A high anthocyanin intake is associated with a reduced risk of myocardial infarction in young and middle-aged women
(American Heart Association, 2013)Background-Our current knowledge of modifiable risk factors to prevent myocardial infarction (MI) in young and middle-aged women is limited, and the impact of diet is largely unknown. Dietary flavonoids exert potential ...
