Journal ArticleDOI
Carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and incident type 2 diabetes in older women
Katie A. Meyer,Lawrence H. Kushi,David R. Jacobs,Joanne L. Slavin,Thomas A. Sellers,Aaron R. Folsom +5 more
TL;DR: A protective role for grains (particularly whole grains), cereal fiber, and dietary magnesium in the development of diabetes in older women is supported, after adjustment for potential nondietary confounding variables.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole-grain intake may reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease death in postmenopausal women: the Iowa Women's Health Study.
TL;DR: A clear inverse association between whole-grain intake and risk of IHD death existed and a causal association is plausible because whole- grain foods contain many phytochemicals, including fiber and antioxidants, that may reduce chronic disease risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Flavonoid Intake and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Postmenopausal Women
TL;DR: Of the foods that contributed the most to flavonoids intake in this cohort, only broccoli was strongly associated with reduced risk of CHD death, and the data of this study suggest that flavonoid intake may reduce risk of death from CHD in postmenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary Fat and Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes in Older Iowa Women
TL;DR: Data support an inverse relation between incident type 2 diabetes and vegetable fat and substituting polyunsaturated fatty acids for saturated fatty acids and cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of Calcium, Vitamin D, and Dairy Food Intake to Ischemic Heart Disease Mortality among Postmenopausal Women
Roberd M. Bostick,Lawrence H. Kushi,Ying Wu,Katie A. Meyer,Thomas A. Sellers,Aaron R. Folsom +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that a higher intake of calcium, but not of vitamin D or milk products, is associated with reduced ischemic heart disease mortality in postmenopausal women, and reduced risk may be achievable whether the higher intake is attained by diet, supplements, or both.
