Prospective study of major dietary patterns and risk of coronary heart disease in men
Frank B. Hu,Eric B. Rimm,Meir J. Stampfer,Alberto Ascherio,Donna Spiegelman,Walter C. Willett +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that major dietary patterns derived from a food-frequency questionnaire predict risk of CHD, independent of other lifestyle variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of abdominal adiposity and overall obesity in predicting risk of type 2 diabetes among men
TL;DR: Both overall and abdominal adiposity strongly and independently predict risk of type 2 diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma adiponectin levels and risk of myocardial infarction in men
Tobias Pischon,Cynthia J. Girman,Gökhan S. Hotamisligil,Nader Rifai,Frank B. Hu,Eric B. Rimm +5 more
TL;DR: High plasma adiponectin concentrations are associated with lower risk of MI in men, and this relationship can be only partly explained by differences in blood lipids and is independent of inflammation and glycemic status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish and omega-3 fatty acid intake and risk of coronary heart disease in women.
Frank B. Hu,Leslie L. Bronner,Walter C. Willett,Meir J. Stampfer,Kathryn M. Rexrode,Christine M. Albert,David J. Hunter,JoAnn E. Manson +7 more
TL;DR: Among women, higher consumption of fish and omega-3 fatty acids is associated with a lower risk of CHD, particularly CHD deaths, particularly for nonfatal myocardial infarction.
