TL;DR: Owing to the scope and complexity of the obesity epidemic, prevention strategies and policies across multiple levels are needed in order to have a measurable effect and should include high-level global policies from the international community and coordinated efforts by governments, organizations, communities and individuals to positively influence behavioural change.

TL;DR: Data indicate reasonable reproducibility and validity of the major dietary patterns defined by factor analysis using dietary data collected with a food-frequency questionnaire with data from an FFQ.

TL;DR: Short and long self-reported sleep durations are independently associated with a modestly increased risk of coronary events.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD, and whether CVD risks are likely to be influenced by the specific nutrients used to replace saturated fat.

TL;DR: The AHEI predicted chronic disease risk better than did the RFS (or the HEI, in previous research) primarily because of a strong inverse association with CVD.
