Journal ArticleDOI

Prospective study of restless legs syndrome and total and cardiovascular mortality among women.

TL;DR: Women with RLS had a higher CVD mortality rate, which may not be fully explained by common co-occurring disorders of RLS, which did not find a significant association between RLS and mortality due to cancer and other causes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic insufficient sleep and diet quality: Contributors to childhood obesity.

TL;DR: To examine associations of chronic insufficient sleep with diet and whether diet explains the sleep‐adiposity relationship, a large number of subjects were randomly assigned to the ‘good’ or ‘bad’ sleeping patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum adiponectin and renal dysfunction in men with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: In this article, a multivariate logistic regression was used to evaluate the relation between serum adiponectin concentrations and the presence of renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] 2 by the four-variable modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation) in participants with type 2 diabetes in the Health Professionals' Follow-Up Study.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative Assessment of the Effect of Angiotensinogen Gene Polymorphisms on the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease

TL;DR: This meta-analysis suggested an overall weak association between the M235T polymorphism and CHD risk, however, the association was not observed in several larger studies, suggesting a publication bias.
Journal ArticleDOI

Childhood size and life course weight characteristics in association with the risk of incident type 2 diabetes.
