Journal ArticleDOI
Iron Intake and the Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Women: A prospective cohort study
TL;DR: The association between heme iron and the risk of diabetes was significant in both overweight and lean women, and higher hemeIron intake is associated with a significantly increased risk of type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Several SNPs reaching the genome-wide significance level are located in or adjacent to the loci previously known as pigmentation genes: MATP, IRF4, TYR, OCA2, and MC1R, and overall, these tanning ability-related loci are similar to the hair color-relatedloci previously reported in the GWAS of hair color.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Reduction in smoking, improvement in diet, and an increase in postmenopausal hormone use accounted for much of the decline in the incidence of coronary disease in this group of women from 1980 to 1994.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Women with the highest number of PTSD symptoms had a nearly 2-fold increased risk of T2D over follow-up than women with no trauma exposure and comprehensive PTSD treatment should be expanded to address the health behaviors that contribute to obesity and chronic disease in affected populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
