Worldwide trends in body-mass index, underweight, overweight, and obesity from 1975 to 2016: a pooled analysis of 2416 population-based measurement studies in 128·9 million children, adolescents, and adults

Leandra Abarca-Gómez, +1024 more
- 16 Dec 2017 - 
TL;DR: Trends in mean BMI have recently flattened in northwestern Europe and the high-income English-speaking and Asia-Pacific regions for both sexes, southwestern Europe for boys, and central and Andean Latin America for girls, and by contrast, the rise in BMI has accelerated in east and south Asia forboth sexes, and southeast Asia for boys.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in adult body-mass index in 200 countries from 1975 to 2014: A pooled analysis of 1698 population-based measurement studies with 19.2 million participants

Mariachiara Di Cesare, +741 more
- 02 Apr 2016 - 
TL;DR: The posterior probability of meeting the target of halting by 2025 the rise in obesity at its 2010 levels, if post-2000 trends continue, is calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery and refinement of loci associated with lipid levels

Cristen J. Willer, +319 more
- 06 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is found that loci associated with blood lipid levels are often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic traits, including coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

New genetic loci implicated in fasting glucose homeostasis and their impact on type 2 diabetes risk

Josée Dupuis, +339 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that genetic studies of glycemic traits can identify type 2 diabetes risk loci, as well as loci containing gene variants that are associated with a modest elevation in glucose levels but are not associated with overt diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-scale association analysis identifies 13 new susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease

Heribert Schunkert, +166 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: This paper performed a meta-analysis of 14 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 22,233 individuals with CAD (cases) and 64,762 controls of European descent followed by genotyping of top association signals in 56,682 additional individuals.
