Genome-wide association and large-scale follow up identifies 16 new loci influencing lung function

María Soler Artigas, +192 more
- 01 Nov 2011 - 
TL;DR: This article identified new regions showing association with pulmonary function in or near MFAP2, TGFB2, HDAC4, RARB, MECOM (also known as EVI1), SPATA9, ARMC2, NCR3, ZKSCAN3, CDC123, C10orf11, LRP1, CCDC38, MMP15, CFDP1 and KCNE2.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antioxidant Nutrients and Pulmonary Function: The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)

TL;DR: Higher levels of antioxidant nutrients are associated with better lung function, and the finding that the antioxidants differ in both their overall association with lung function and in whether this association varies by smoking status has implications for further research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pulmonary function and abdominal adiposity in the general population.

TL;DR: Results suggest that abdominal adiposity is a better predictor of pulmonary function than weight or BMI, and investigators should consider it when investigating the determinants of pulmonaryfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Homocysteine and Blood Pressure in the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1988–1994

TL;DR: The results support a mediating role for blood pressure in women and suggest that the full effect of homocysteine on cardiovascular risk may be underestimated when blood pressure is adjusted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity and body fat distribution in relation to the incidence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. A prospective cohort study of men in the normative aging study

TL;DR: Previous reports of a prospective relation between abdominal adiposity and the risk of diabetes are confirmed and prospective evidence of a relation between blood glucose levels and both body fat distribution and obesity is provided.
