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 ... -
Associations of Neighborhood Concentrated Poverty, Neighborhood Racial/Ethnic Composition, and Indoor Allergen Exposures: a Cross-Sectional Analysis of Los Angeles Households, 2006–2008
(Springer Verlag, 2014)Although racial/ethnic, socioeconomic, and neighborhood factors have been linked to asthma, and the association between indoor allergens and asthma is well documented, few studies have examined the relationship between ... -
The associations of parity and maternal age with small-for-gestational-age, preterm, and neonatal and infant mortality: a meta-analysis
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Previous studies have reported on adverse neonatal outcomes associated with parity and maternal age. Many of these studies have relied on cross-sectional data, from which drawing causal inference is complex. ... -
Associations of Peripubertal Serum Dioxin and Polychlorinated Biphenyl Concentrations with Pubertal Timing among Russian Boys
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2016)Background: Dioxins, furans, and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), dioxin-like and non-dioxin-like, have been linked to alterations in puberty. Objectives: We examined the association of peripubertal serum levels of these ... -
Associations of Plasma Phospholipid and Dietary Alpha Linolenic Acid With Incident Atrial Fibrillation in Older Adults: The Cardiovascular Health Study
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Background: Few studies have examined the relationship of α‐linolenic acid (ALA 18:3n‐3), an intermediate‐chain essential n‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acid derived from plants and vegetable oils, with incident atrial fibrillation ... -
Associations of Plasma Phospholipid SFAs with Total and Cause-Specific Mortality in Older Adults Differ According to SFA Chain Length
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Background:. Not much is known about the relations of circulating saturated fatty acids (SFAs), which are influenced by both. metabolic and dietary determinants, with total and cause-specific mortality. Objective We. ... -
Associations of PM2.5 Constituents and Sources with Hospital Admissions: Analysis of Four Counties in Connecticut and Massachusetts (USA) for Persons ≥ 65 Years of Age
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2013)Background: Epidemiological studies have demonstrated associations between short-term exposure to PM2.5 and hospital admissions. The chemical composition of particles varies across locations and time periods. Identifying ... -
Associations of self-reported and objectively measured sleep disturbances with depression among primary caregivers of children with disabilities
(Dove Medical Press, 2016)Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the association between sleep and depression using both self-reported (subjective) and actigraphic (objective) sleep traits. Methods: A cross-sectional study was ... -
Associations of Suboptimal Growth with All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality in Children under Five Years: A Pooled Analysis of Ten Prospective Studies
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Background: Child undernutrition affects millions of children globally. We investigated associations between suboptimal growth and mortality by pooling large studies. Methods: Pooled analysis involving children 1 week to ... -
Associations of Toenail Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury, Manganese, and Lead with Blood Pressure in the Normative Aging Study
