Genetic Predisposition to High Blood Pressure Associates With Cardiovascular Complications Among Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Two Independent Studies
(American Diabetes Association, 2012)
Hypertension and type 2 diabetes (T2D) commonly coexist, and both conditions are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to examine the association between genetic predisposition to high blood pressure ...
Fried food consumption, genetic risk, and body mass index: gene-diet interaction analysis in three US cohort studies
(BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., 2014)
Objective: To examine the interactions between genetic predisposition and consumption of fried food in relation to body mass index (BMI) and obesity. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Health professionals in the ...
Toenail Selenium and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in U.S. Men and Women
(American Diabetes Association, 2012)
OBJECTIVE Compelling biological pathways suggest that selenium (Se) may lower onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but very few studies have evaluated this relationship, with mixed results. We examined the association ...
Association Between Passive and Active Smoking and Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Women
(American Diabetes Association, 2011)
OBJECTIVE: Accumulating evidence has identified a positive association between active smoking and the risk of diabetes, but previous studies had limited information on passive smoking or changes in smoking behaviors over ...
The Effects of Caffeinated and Decaffeinated Coffee on Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin and Endogenous Sex Hormone Levels: A Randomized Controlled Trial
(BioMed Central, 2012)
Background: Findings from observational studies suggest that sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) and endogenous sex hormones may be mediators of the putative relation between coffee consumption and lower risk of type 2 ...
Hemoglobin A1c Is Associated With Increased Risk of Incident Coronary Heart Disease Among Apparently Healthy, Nondiabetic Men and Women
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)
Background: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), a time‐integrated marker of glycemic control, predicts risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) among diabetics. Few studies have examined HbA1c and risk of CHD among women and men without ...
Dietary Patterns during Adolescence and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Middle-Aged Women
(American Diabetes Association, 2012)
Objective: Whether dietary habits early in life can affect risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in adulthood is unknown. We evaluated the relationship between dietary patterns during adolescence and risk of T2DM in midlife. ...
Alcohol Consumption, Mediating Biomarkers, and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Among Middle-Aged Women
(American Diabetes Association, 2008)
OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to investigate whether adiponectin concentrations and biomarkers of inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, and insulin resistance mediate the association between alcohol consumption ...
Diet-Quality Scores and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men
(American Diabetes Association, 2011)
Objective: To 1) compare associations of diet-quality scores, which were inversely associated with cardiovascular disease, with incident type 2 diabetes and 2) test for differences in absolute-risk reduction across various ...
Changes in Alcohol Consumption and Subsequent Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men
(American Diabetes Association, 2011)
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the association of 4-year changes in alcohol consumption with a subsequent risk of type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We prospectively examined 38,031 ...
