Racial/ethnic disparities in short sleep duration by occupation: the contribution of immigrant status.
Chandra L. Jackson,Frank B. Hu,Susan Redline,David R. Williams,Josiemer Mattei,Ichiro Kawachi +5 more
TL;DR: Short sleep varied within and between immigrant status for some ethnicities in particular occupations, further illuminating the need for tailored interventions to address sleep disparities among US workers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Joint Association of Alcohol and Folate Intake with Risk of Major Chronic Disease in Women
Rui Jiang,Frank B. Hu,Edward Giovannucci,Eric B. Rimm,Meir J. Stampfer,Donna Spiegelman,Bernard Rosner,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: Adequate folate intake may be important in the primary prevention of overall major chronic disease in women, especially among younger women consuming more than two alcoholic drinks per day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional SNPs in HSPA1A gene predict risk of coronary heart disease.
Meian He,Huan Guo,Xiaobo Yang,Xiaomin Zhang,Li Zhou,Longxian Cheng,Hesong Zeng,Frank B. Hu,Robert M. Tanguay,Tangchun Wu +9 more
TL;DR: The identified genetic variants in the HSPA1A gene combinatorially contribute towards the susceptibility to CHD likely by affecting the level of synthesis of HSP70.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity in relation to long-term weight maintenance after intentional weight loss in premenopausal women.
Rania A. Mekary,Diane Feskanich,Frank B. Hu,Frank B. Hu,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Alison E. Field,Alison E. Field,Alison E. Field +8 more
