Yinge Li,Yinge Li,Yanping Li,John W. Winkelman,Arthur S. Walters,Jiali Han,Jiali Han,Frank B. Hu,Xiang Gao +8 more
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.
Elizabeth M. Cespedes,Frank B. Hu,Susan Redline,Bernard Rosner,Matthew W. Gillman,Sheryl L. Rifas-Shiman,Elsie M. Taveras +6 more
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

Edwina Yeung,Cuilin Zhang,Germaine M. Buck Louis,Walter C. Willett,Walter C. Willett,Frank B. Hu,Frank B. Hu +6 more
