TL;DR: EM has a genetic aetiology which overlaps variation in normal age at menopause and is at least partly explained by the additive effects of the same polygenic variants, and the combined effect of the common variants captured by the single nucleotide polymorphism arrays was estimated to account for ∼30% of the variance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plain-water intake and risk of type 2 diabetes in young and middle-aged women
TL;DR: Plain-water intake, per se, was not significantly associated with risk of type 2 diabetes, however, substitution of plain water for SSBs or fruit juices was estimated to be associated with modestly lower risk of T2D.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time Trends of Dietary and Lifestyle Factors and Their Potential Impact on Diabetes Burden in China
Yanping Li,Dong D. Wang,Sylvia H. Ley,Sylvia H. Ley,Malik Vasanti,Annie Green Howard,Yuna He,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: A high BMI and low intake of whole grains but high intake of refined grains are the most important individual risk factors related to Chinese diabetes burden; low physical activity and high blood pressure also significantly contributed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Improving plant-based diet quality over a 12-year period was associated with a lower risk of total and CVD mortality, whereas increased consumption of an unhealthful plantbased diet wasassociated with a higher risk oftotal and CVB mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent dairy product consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes in middle-aged women
Vasanti S. Malik,Qi Sun,Rob M. van Dam,Eric B. Rimm,Walter C. Willett,Bernard Rosner,Frank B. Hu +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that higher dairy product intake during adolescence is associated with a lower risk of T2D, and some of the benefits of dairy product consumption during high school may be due to the persistence of the consumption pattern during adulthood.
