Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetable, Fruit, and Cereal Fiber Intake and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease Among Men
Eric B. Rimm,Alberto Ascherio,Edward Giovannucci,Donna Spiegelman,Meir J. Stampfer,Walter C. Willett +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest an inverse association between fiber intake and MI and suggest that fiber, independent of fat intake, is an important dietary component for the prevention of coronary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CAG repeat within the androgen receptor gene and its relationship to prostate cancer.
Edward Giovannucci,Meir J. Stampfer,Krishna Krithivas,Myles Brown,Adam Brufsky,James A. Talcott,Charles H. Hennekens,Philip W. Kantoff +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a shorter CAG repeat sequence in the androgen receptor gene predicts higher grade and advanced stage of prostate cancer at diagnosis, and metastasis and mortality from the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body Size and Fat Distribution as Predictors of Coronary Heart Disease among Middle-aged and Older US Men
Eric B. Rimm,Meir J. Stampfer,Meir J. Stampfer,Edward Giovannucci,Alberto Ascherio,Donna Spiegelman,Graham A. Colditz,Graham A. Colditz,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett +9 more
TL;DR: For younger men, obesity, independent offat distribution, is a strong risk factor for coronary heart disease, and for older men, measures of fat distribution may be better than body mass index at predicting risk of coronary disease.
Journal Article
Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase Polymorphism, Dietary Interactions, and Risk of Colorectal Cancer
Jing Ma,Meir J. Stampfer,Edward Giovannucci,Carmen Artigas,David J. Hunter,Charles S. Fuchs,Walter C. Willett,Jacob Selhub,Charles H. Hennekens,Rima Rozen +9 more
TL;DR: Support is provided for an important role of folate metabolism in colon carcinogenesis and suggests that the 677C-->IT mutation in MTHFR reduces colon cancer risk, perhaps by increasing 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate levels for DNA synthesis, but that low folate intake or high alcohol consumption may negate some of the protective effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Study of Tomato Products, Lycopene, and Prostate Cancer Risk
TL;DR: Frequent consumption of tomato products is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer, and these associations persisted in analyses controlling for fruit and vegetable consumption and for olive oil use and were observed separately in men of Southern European or other Caucasian ancestry.
