Journal ArticleDOI

A prospective study of prepregnancy dietary fat intake and risk of gestational diabetes

TL;DR: Higher prepregnancy intakes of animal fat and cholesterol were associated with elevated GDM risk and no significant associations were observed between dietary polyunsaturatedfat, monounsaturated fat, or trans fat intakes and GDMrisk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between microbiota-dependent metabolite trimethylamine-N-oxide and type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: It is suggested that higher plasma TMAO was associated with increased odds of newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes and that this association was not modified by the FMO3 rs2266782 polymorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction Between Poor Glycemic Control and 9p21 Locus on Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in Type 2 Diabetes

TL;DR: In this study population, the CAD risk associated with the 9p21 variant was increased in the presence of poor glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of changes in red meat consumption with total and cause specific mortality among US women and men: two prospective cohort studies

TL;DR: Increases in red meat consumption, especially processed meat, were associated with higher overall mortality rates and was consistent across subgroups defined by age, physical activity, dietary quality, smoking status, or alcohol consumption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiovascular benefits of dietary fiber.

TL;DR: Future research should focus on various food sources of fiber, including different types of whole grains, legumes, fruits, vegetables, and nuts, as well as resistant starch in relation to CVD risk and weight control; explore the biological mechanisms underlying the cardioprotective effect of fiber-rich diets; and study different ethnic groups and populations with varying sources of dietary fiber.
