Journal ArticleDOI
Diet-quality scores and plasma concentrations of markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction
Teresa T. Fung,Marjorie L. McCullough,P. K. Newby,JoAnn E. Manson,James B. Meigs,Nader Rifai,Walter C. Willett,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: Higher AHEI and aMED scores were associated with lower concentrations of biomarkers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction and therefore may be useful as guidelines for reducing the risk of diseases involving such biological pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
Television Viewing and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-analysis
Anders Grøntved,Frank B. Hu +1 more
TL;DR: While the associations between time spent viewing TV and risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease were linear, the risk of all-cause mortality appeared to increase with TV viewing duration of greater than 3 hours per day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mediterranean Diet and Incidence of and Mortality From Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke in Women
Teresa T. Fung,Kathryn M. Rexrode,Christos S. Mantzoros,JoAnn E. Manson,Walter C. Willett,Frank B. Hu +5 more
TL;DR: A greater adherence to the Mediterranean diet, as reflected by a higher Alternate Mediterranean Diet Score, was associated with a lower risk of incident CHD and stroke in women.

TL;DR: A dense whole-genome scan of DNA samples from the Framingham Heart Study participants was used to identify a common genetic variant near the INSIG2 gene associated with obesity, suggesting that common genetic polymorphisms are important determinants of obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity of moderate intensity and risk of type 2 diabetes: a systematic review.
TL;DR: It is indicated that adherence to recommendations to participate in physical activities of moderate intensity such as brisk walking can substantially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
