Journal ArticleDOI
Search for an optimal atherogenic lipid risk profile: from the Framingham Study.
TL;DR: In men, elevated LDL need not be treated aggressively if the total/HDL cholesterol ratio is low, and modest elevations of LDL may warrant more aggressive treatment if the ratio is high, while in women, the Ratio is also a good CHD predictor, but a combination of a high ratio accompanied by high LDL cholesterol may Warrant more aggressive therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surrogate Markers of Insulin Resistance Are Associated with Consumption of Sugar-Sweetened Drinks and Fruit Juice in Middle and Older-Aged Adults
Makiko Yoshida,Nicola M. McKeown,Gail Rogers,James B. Meigs,Edward Saltzman,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Paul F. Jacques +6 more
TL;DR: In these healthy adults, sugar-sweetened drink consumption appears to be unfavorably associated with surrogate measures reflecting hepatic more than peripheral insulin sensitivity, and studies of long-term beverage consumption using more direct measures of insulin sensitivity are clearly warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized control trial of cardiac rehabilitation
Ann Wolbert Burgess,Debra Lerner,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Pantel S. Vokonas,Carol R. Hartman,Peter Gaccione +5 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that implementing measures addressing the patient's general psycho-social adjustment to MI may improve existing programs and suggest that rehabilitation programs intervening on multiple levels (psychological, social, occupational, and physical) may best meet the needs of chronically ill cardiac patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alanine Aminotransferase and Directly Measured Insulin Sensitivity in a Multiethnic Cohort The Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the addition of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) to existing clinically based metabolic risk definitions is an inexpensive way to improve the identification of subjects with insulin resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Baldness and Coronary Heart Disease Rates in Men from the Framingham Study
TL;DR: The extent and progression of baldness and the aforementioned outcomes were assessed using a Cox proportional hazards model, adjusting for age and other known cardiovascular disease risk factors.
