Serum TSH, T4, and Thyroid Antibodies in the United States Population (1988 to 1994): National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III)
Joseph G. Hollowell,Norman W. Staehling,W. Dana Flanders,W. Harry Hannon,Elaine W. Gunter,Carole A. Spencer,Lewis E. Braverman +6 more
TL;DR: TSH and the prevalence of antithyroid antibodies are greater in females, increase with age, and are more in whites and Mexican Americans than in blacks, which needs more research to relate these findings to clinical status.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seroprevalence of Cytomegalovirus Infection in the United States, 1988–1994
Stephanie A. S. Staras,Sheila C. Dollard,Kay Radford,W. Dana Flanders,Robert F. Pass,Michael J. Cannon +5 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that each year in the United States approximately 340,000 non-Hispanic white persons, 130,000non-Hispanic black persons, and 50,000 Mexican American women of childbearing age experience a primary CMV infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: These results may underestimate the overall proportion of cancers attributable to modifiable factors, because the impact of all established risk factors could not be quantified, and many likely modifiable risk factors are not yet firmly established as causal.
Journal ArticleDOI

John A. Petros,Amanda K. Baumann,Eduardo Ruiz-Pesini,Mahul B. Amin,Carrie Q. Sun,John E. Hall,So-Dug Lim,Muta M. Issa,W. Dana Flanders,S.H. Hosseini,Fray F. Marshall,Douglas C. Wallace +11 more
TL;DR: The pathogenic mtDNA ATP6 T8993G mutation was introduced into the PC3 prostate cancer cell line through cybrid transfer and tested for tumor growth in nude mice, and the resulting mutant cybrids were found to generate tumors that were 7 times larger than the wild-type (T8993T) cybrids, whereas theWild type cybrids barely grew in the mice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Added Sugar Intake and Cardiovascular Diseases Mortality Among US Adults
TL;DR: A significant relationship between added sugar consumption and increased risk for CVD mortality was observed among US adults and was largely consistent across age group, sex, race/ethnicity, educational attainment, physical activity, health eating index, and body mass index.
