Intakes of calcium, phosphorus, and protein, and physical-activity level are related to radial bone mass in young adult women

TL;DR: It is concluded that in this sample of 24-28-y-old women BD and BMC did not differ by age, and behaviors that had a positive impact on radial bone measurements included at least moderate PA and adequate dietary calcium intake, whereas adverse dietary practices for BD included intakes of protein and phosphorus greater than recommended amounts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality-of-life Among 5,025 Patients With Left-ventricular Dysfunction Randomized Between Placebo and Enalapril - the Studies of Left-ventricular Dysfunction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the quality of life of patients with left ventricular dysfunction for up to 2 years after randomization to enalapril or placebo, and found that mild improvements in quality-of-life for greater than or equal to 1 year were observed when patients with mild to moderate heart failure and symptomatic heart failure were treated with enalaphril.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arterial Blood Pressure and Modernization in Brazil

TL;DR: It is argued that sociocultural risk factors emerge in the modernization process as a result of social structural imbalances generated by economic development and represent independent risk factors for elevated arterial blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparative changes in radial-bone density of elderly female lacto-ovovegetarians and omnivores.

TL;DR: A 5-y prospective study of the changes in radial-bone mineral density of elderly white women living in four residential communities, including 49 Seventh-day Adventist lacto-ovovegetarians and 140 omnivores, to determine the potential effects of usual dietary calcium in preventing the loss of BMD, measured by single-photon absorptiometry, at two radial sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Social support and arterial pressure in a central Mexican community

TL;DR: The patterns of relationships are consistent with the place of women in the social structure of this Mexican community, and point to the need to conceptualize and measure social support in culturally appropriate ways.
