Intervention Trials with the Mediterranean Diet in Cardiovascular Prevention: Understanding Potential Mechanisms through Metabolomic Profiling
Miguel Ángel Martínez-González,Miguel Ángel Martínez-González,Miguel Ruiz-Canela,Miguel Ruiz-Canela,Adela Hruby,Liming Liang,Antonia Trichopoulou,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: Investigating specific mechanisms in the context of a large intervention trial with the use of high-throughput metabolomic profiling will provide more solid public health messages and may help to identify key molecular targets for more effective prevention and management of CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Yao He,Bin Jiang,Liang Shou Li,Lan Sun Li,Dong Ling Sun,Lei Wu,Miao Liu,Shu Fang He,Bao Qing Liang,Frank B. Hu,Tai Hing Lam +10 more
TL;DR: Smoking increased tobacco-related deaths, and particularly deaths from COPD, in China, whereas quitting at middle age (at approximately 50 years of age) substantially reduced the risks of death from these causes.
Journal ArticleDOI
C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, soluble tumor necrosis factor α receptor 2 and incident clinical depression.
Patricia O. Chocano-Bedoya,Patricia O. Chocano-Bedoya,Fariba Mirzaei,Éilis J. O'Reilly,Michel Lucas,Olivia I. Okereke,Frank B. Hu,Eric B. Rimm,Eric B. Rimm,Alberto Ascherio,Alberto Ascherio +10 more
TL;DR: Blood levels of CRP, IL-6 and TNFα-R2 were not associated with incident depression over a follow-up of 6-18 years, and no associations with depression or antidepressant use were observed in the prospective analysis.
Television Viewing and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, and All-Cause Mortality
Anders Grøntved,Frank B. Hu +1 more
TL;DR: Beyond altering energy expenditure by displacing time spent on physical activities, TV viewing is associated with unhealthy eating and may be associated with the intake of foods and beverages that are advertised on TV and could attract some individuals to begin smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity at midlife in relation to successful survival in women at age 70 years or older
TL;DR: Higher physical activity levels at midlife, as measured by metabolic-equivalent tasks, were significantly associated with better odds of successful survival and corroborate the potential role of physical activity in improving overall health.
