Television Watching, Leisure Time Physical Activity, and the Genetic Predisposition in Relation to Body Mass Index in Women and Men
Qibin Qi,Yanping Li,Andrea K. Chomistek,Jae H. Kang,Gary C. Curhan,Louis R. Pasquale,Walter C. Willett,Eric B. Rimm,Frank B. Hu,Lu Qi +9 more
TL;DR: A sedentary lifestyle, indicated by prolonged TV watching, may accentuate the predisposition to elevated adiposity, whereas greater leisure time physical activity may attenuate the genetic association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nut Consumption and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Marta Guasch-Ferré,Xiaoran Liu,Vasanti S. Malik,Qi Sun,Walter C. Willett,JoAnn E. Manson,Kathryn M. Rexrode,Yanping Li,Frank B. Hu,Shilpa N Bhupathiraju +9 more
TL;DR: In 3 large prospective cohort studies, higher consumption of total and specific types of nuts was inversely associated with total cardiovascular disease and coronary heart disease.

TL;DR: It is suggested that genetic loci for BMI can vary in their effects across the life course, underlying the importance of evaluating BMI at different ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal Change in Fasting Blood Glucose and Myocardial Infarction Risk in a Population Without Diabetes.
Cheng Jin,Shuohua Chen,Anand Vaidya,Yuntao Wu,Zhijun Wu,Frank B. Hu,Penny M. Kris-Etherton,Shouling Wu,Xiang Gao +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that discrete FBG trajectories were significantly associated with subsequent risk of MI in individuals without diabetes, and observations suggest that long-term trajectories of FBG may be important for risk prediction of MI and possibly other macrovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Protein, body weight, and cardiovascular health
TL;DR: Evidence from clinical trials indicates that higher-protein diets increase short-term weight loss and improve blood lipids, but long-term data are lacking, and evidence suggests a potential benefit of partially replace refined carbohydrates with protein sources low in saturated fats.
