TL;DR: Two suggestive loci associated with fat distribution in AA populations are identified in addition to confirming 6 loci previously identified in populations of EA, reinforcing the concept that there are fat distribution loci that are independent of generalized adiposity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of albuminuria with systolic and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction in type 2 diabetes: the Strong Heart Study.

TL;DR: Albuminuria is independently associated with LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction in type 2 DM; this may explain in part the relationship of albuminuria to increased cardiovascular (CV) events in the DM population.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A novel DKD susceptibility locus with consistent directions of effect across diverse ancestral groups is identified with directionally consistent results across ethnic groups and provides insight into the genetic architecture of DKD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Arterial Hypertension in Adults With Initial Optimal Blood Pressure: The Strong Heart Study
Giovanni de Simone,Richard B. Devereux,Marcello Chinali,Mary J. Roman,Lyle G. Best,Thomas K. Welty,Elisa T. Lee,Barbara V. Howard +7 more
TL;DR: Ass associations of BP in the optimal range, metabolic risk factors, and their changes over 4-year follow-up, with 8-year incident hypertension are analyzed in a cohort of American Indians with a high prevalence of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short Leukocyte Telomere Length Predicts Risk of Diabetes in American Indians: The Strong Heart Family Study
Jinying Zhao,Yun Zhu,Jue Lin,Tet Matsuguchi,Elizabeth H. Blackburn,Ying Zhang,Shelley A. Cole,Lyle G. Best,Elisa T. Lee,Barbara V. Howard +9 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest a nonlinear association between LTL and incident diabetes and indicate that LTL could serve as a predictive marker for diabetes development in American Indians, who suffer from disproportionately high rates of diabetes.
