Linda D. Cowan,Oscar Go,Barbara V. Howard,Richard B. Devereux,David J. Pettitt,Richard R. Fabsitz,Elisa T. Lee,Thomas K. Welty +7 more
TL;DR: Relations between parity and CVD risk factors in American Indian women with high parity suggested only small differences with increasing parity, but associations with estrogen use are much stronger and are similar to those observed in other groups of women.

TL;DR: A genome-wide gene-smoking interaction study of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure (PP) in 129 913 individuals in stage 1 and follow-up analysis in 480 178 additional individuals in stages 2 identified 136 loci significantly associated with MAP and/or PP and identified nine new signals near known loci.

Giovanni de Simone,Richard B. Devereux,Marcello Chinali,Mary J. Roman,Thomas K. Welty,Elisa T. Lee,Barbara V. Howard +6 more
TL;DR: Left ventricular mass predicts incident arterial hypertension in individuals with initially optimal blood pressure, independent of body build, prevalent diabetes, and initial blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Examination of lower targets for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood pressure in diabetes--the Stop Atherosclerosis in Native Diabetics Study (SANDS).

TL;DR: The SANDS is a randomized, open-label, 3-year trial to examine the effects of aggressive LDL-C and blood pressure reduction versus the standard goals of <100 mg/dL and <130/85 mm Hg for BP in diabetic individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and gallbladder disease determined by ultrasonography
Andrea M. Kriska,Jennifer S. Brach,Betty Jarvis,James E. Everhart,Anthony Fabio,Caroline R. Richardson,Barbara V. Howard +6 more
TL;DR: Findings add to the evidence supporting a causal link between physical activity levels and a decreased risk of gallbladder disease, and they provide yet another reason to encourage the achievement and maintenance of a physically active lifestyle.
