General and abdominal adiposity and risk of death in Europe.

TL;DR: It is suggested that both general adiposity and abdominal adiposity are associated with the risk of death and support the use of waist circumference or waist-to-hip ratio in addition to BMI in assessing therisk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Six new loci associated with body mass index highlight a neuronal influence on body weight regulation

Cristen J. Willer, +166 more
- 01 Jan 2009 - 
TL;DR: Several of the likely causal genes are highly expressed or known to act in the central nervous system (CNS), emphasizing, as in rare monogenic forms of obesity, the role of the CNS in predisposition to obesity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Triglycerides and the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease 10 158 Incident Cases Among 262 525 Participants in 29 Western Prospective Studies

TL;DR: Available prospective studies in Western populations consistently indicate moderate and highly significant associations between triglyceride values and coronary heart disease risk, however, further studies are needed to help assess the nature of any independent associations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A susceptibility locus for lung cancer maps to nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit genes on 15q25

Rayjean J. Hung, +64 more
- 03 Apr 2008 - 
TL;DR: The results provide compelling evidence of a locus at 15q25 predisposing to lung cancer, and reinforce interest in nicotinic acetylcholine receptors as potential disease candidates and chemopreventative targets.
Journal ArticleDOI
