Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Intensive Diet and Exercise on Knee Joint Loads, Inflammation, and Clinical Outcomes Among Overweight and Obese Adults With Knee Osteoarthritis: The IDEA Randomized Clinical Trial
Stephen P. Messier,Shannon L. Mihalko,Claudine Legault,Gary D. Miller,Barbara J. Nicklas,Paul DeVita,Daniel P. Beavers,David J. Hunter,Mary F. Lyles,Felix Eckstein,Jeff D. Williamson,J. Jeffery Carr,Ali Guermazi,Richard F. Loeser +13 more
TL;DR: To determine whether a ≥10% reduction in body weight induced by diet, with or without exercise, would improve mechanistic and clinical outcomes more than exercise alone, a single-blind, 18-month, randomized clinical trial was conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Percent emphysema, airflow obstruction, and impaired left ventricular filling.
R. Graham Barr,David A. Bluemke,Firas S. Ahmed,J. Jeffery Carr,Paul L. Enright,Eric A. Hoffman,Rui Jiang,Steven M. Kawut,Richard A. Kronmal,Joao A.C. Lima,Eyal Shahar,Lewis J. Smith,Karol E. Watson +12 more
TL;DR: In a population-based study, a greater extent of emphysema on CT scanning and more severe airflow obstruction were linearly related to impaired left ventricular filling, reduced stroke volume, and lower cardiac output without changes in the ejection fraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Abdominal Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: The Jackson Heart Study
Jiankang Liu,Caroline S. Fox,DeMarc A. Hickson,Warren D. May,Kristen G. Hairston,J. Jeffery Carr,Herman A. Taylor +6 more
TL;DR: The results from this study suggest that relations with cardiometabolic risk factors are consistent with a pathogenic role of abdominal adiposity in participants of African ancestry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thoracic aortic calcification and coronary heart disease events: The multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis (MESA)
Matthew J. Budoff,Khurram Nasir,Khurram Nasir,Ronit Katz,Junichiro Takasu,J. Jeffery Carr,Nathan D. Wong,Matthew A. Allison,Joao A.C. Lima,Robert Detrano,Roger S. Blumenthal,Richard A. Kronmal +11 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that TAC is a significant predictor of future coronary events only in women, independent of CAC, and determination of TAC may provide modest supplementary prognostic information in women with no extra cost or radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pericardial Adipose Tissue, Atherosclerosis, and Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors: The Jackson Heart Study
Jiankang Liu,Caroline S. Fox,DeMarc A. Hickson,Daniel F. Sarpong,Lynette Ekunwe,Warren D. May,Gregory Hundley,J. Jeffery Carr,Herman A. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that PAT is an important VAT depot that may exert a local effect on the coronary vasculature and is significantly correlated with most cardiometabolic risk factors and CAC in the JHS cohort.
