Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Term Repeatability of Insulin Resistance Indexes in Older Adults: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Anna K. Poon,Michelle L. Meyer,Gerald M. Reaven,Joshua W. Knowles,Elizabeth Selvin,James S. Pankow,David Couper,Laura R. Loehr,Gerardo Heiss +8 more
TL;DR: Short-term repeatability was fair to good for HOMA-IR and excellent for TG/HDL-C according to suggested benchmarks, reflecting the short-term variability of their analytes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of egg consumption and calcified atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries: The NHLBI Family Heart Study
Jeremy M. Robbins,Andrew B. Petrone,R. Curtis Ellison,Steven C. Hunt,J. Jeffrey Carr,Gerardo Heiss,Donna K. Arnett,J. Michael Gaziano,J. Michael Gaziano,Luc Djoussé,Luc Djoussé +10 more
TL;DR: These data do not provide evidence for an association between egg consumption and prevalent CAC in adult men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smoking and coffee consumption in three groups: cancer deaths, cardiovascular deaths and living controls. A prospective study in Evans County, Georgia.
TL;DR: The results do not prove conclusively that heavy coffee consumption is unrelated to carcinogenesis, but the data supports a co-carcinogenic effect of cigarette smoking in certain organ-systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence of QTL on 15q21 for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol: The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study (NHLBI FHS)
Mary F. Feitosa,Michael A. Province,Gerardo Heiss,Donna K. Arnett,Richard H. Myers,James S. Pankow,Paul N. Hopkins,Ingrid B. Borecki +7 more
TL;DR: There is strong evidence of a QTL influencing HDL-cholesterol levels and a prominent candidate gene residing within the linkage region on 15q21 is hepatic lipase (HL), which has a major role in lipoprotein metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coffee consumption and calcified atherosclerotic plaques in the coronary arteries: The NHLBI Family Heart Study
Yash R. Patel,Taraka V. Gadiraju,Taraka V. Gadiraju,R. Curtis Ellison,Steven C. Hunt,Steven C. Hunt,J. Jeffrey Carr,Gerardo Heiss,Donna K. Arnett,James S. Pankow,J. Michael Gaziano,J. Michael Gaziano,Luc Djoussé,Luc Djoussé +13 more
TL;DR: The association of coffee consumption with the prevalence of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries in NHLBI Family Heart Study without known coronary heart disease is seen but there is no evidence of association between coffee consumption and prevalent CAC.
