Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Study of Weight Training and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Men
TL;DR: Weight training was associated with a significantly lower risk of T2DM, independent of aerobic exercise, and combined weight training and aerobic exercise conferred a greater benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Novel locus including FGF21 is associated with dietary macronutrient intake
Audrey Y. Chu,Tsegaselassie Workalemahu,Nina P. Paynter,Lynda M. Rose,Franco Giulianini,Toshiko Tanaka,Julius S. Ngwa,Qibin Qi,Gary C. Curhan,Eric B. Rimm,David J. Hunter,Louis R. Pasquale,Paul M. Ridker,Frank B. Hu,Daniel I. Chasman,Lu Qi +15 more
TL;DR: In a genome-wide meta-analysis of a population-based discovery cohort, rs838133 in FGF21 is a potential susceptibility gene for obesity and type 2 diabetes and the potential of genetic variation for determining dietary macronutrient intake is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The Gene, Environment Association Studies (GENEVA) consortium was initiated to identify genetic variants related to complex diseases; identify variations in gene‐trait associations related to environmental exposures; and ensure rapid sharing of data through the database of Genotypes and Phenotypes.

TL;DR: The results suggest that only a large sample comprising more than 50,000 subjects may be sufficiently powered to detect genes for depressive symptoms, as well as a combined meta-analysis of all 22 discovery and replication studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantity and variety in fruit and vegetable intake and risk of coronary heart disease
Shilpa N Bhupathiraju,Nicole M. Wedick,An Pan,JoAnn E. Manson,Kathyrn M Rexrode,Walter C. Willett,Eric B. Rimm,Frank B. Hu +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that absolute quantity, rather than variety, in fruit and vegetable intake is associated with a significantly lower risk of CHD.
