Journal ArticleDOI
Diet and lifestyle influences on risk of coronary heart disease
TL;DR: Diet and lifestyle modification, combined with pharmacologic treatment of hypertension and high lipid levels (if necessary), could prevent the vast majority of CHD events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Overall Diet Quality and Subsequent Type 2 Diabetes Risk: Three U.S. Prospective Cohorts
Sylvia H. Ley,An Pan,Yanping Li,JoAnn E. Manson,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Qi Sun,Frank B. Hu,Frank B. Hu +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that improvement in overall diet quality is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, whereas deterioration in diet quality has an impact on long-term diabetes prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Alcohol Consumption and Subsequent Risk of Type 2 Diabetes in Men
Michel M. Joosten,Stephanie E. Chiuve,Kenneth J. Mukamal,Frank B. Hu,Henk F. J. Hendriks,Eric B. Rimm +5 more
TL;DR: Increases in alcohol consumption over time were associated with lower risk of type 2 diabetes among initially rare and light drinkers, and this lower risk was evident within a 4-year period following increased alcohol intake.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Levels of Fatty Acid–Binding Protein 4, Retinol-Binding Protein 4, High-Molecular-Weight Adiponectin, and Cardiovascular Mortality Among Men With Type 2 Diabetes: A 22-Year Prospective Study
Gang Liu,Ming Ding,Stephanie E. Chiuve,Eric B. Rimm,Paul W. Franks,James B. Meigs,James B. Meigs,Frank B. Hu,Qi Sun +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that higher levels of fatty acid–binding protein 4 and HMW adiponectin are associated with elevated CVD mortality among men with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and these associations may partially reflect altered adipose tissue functionality among patients with type 1 Diabetes mellitus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of serum lipids and inflammatory biomarkers with renal function in men with type II diabetes mellitus.
Julie Lin,Frank B. Hu,Frank B. Hu,Eric B. Rimm,Eric B. Rimm,Nader Rifai,Gary C. Curhan,Gary C. Curhan +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that several potentially modifiable lipid and inflammatory biomarkers are elevated in the setting of moderately decreased GFR in men with type II DM and may be the link between renal insufficiency and increased risk for cardiovascular events in this population.
