Dietary flavonoids and flavonoid-rich foods
Objective: To evaluate the validity and reproducibility of a 152-item semi-quantitative FFQ (SFFQ) for estimating flavonoid intakes. Design: Over a 1-year period, participants completed two SFFQ and two weighed 7-d dietary records (7DDR). Flavonoid intakes from the SFFQ were estimated separately using Harvard (SFFQ Harvard ) and Phenol-Explorer (SFFQ PE ) food composition databases. 7DDR flavonoid intakes were derived using the Phenol-Explorer da…

Demographic and socio-economic predictors of diet quality among adults in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Objective: To evaluate associations of demographic and socio-economic factors with diet quality among population subgroups in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 2017 B&H dietary survey data. Diet quality was assessed by the Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS) utilizing data from two non-consecutive 24 h diet recalls. Socio-economic variables were extracted from the 2015 B&H Household Budget Survey. Homogeneity of mean…
Changes in Sugar-Sweetened Soda Consumption, Weight, and Waist Circumference
Objectives. To evaluate 2-year changes in soda consumption, weight, and waist circumference. Methods. We followed 11 218 women from the Mexican Teachers’ Cohort from 2006 to 2008. Dietary data were collected using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Weight was self-reported, and waist circumference was self-measured. We used linear regression to evaluate changes in sugar-sweetened and sugar-free soda consumption in relation to change…
Diet Assessment Methods in the Nurses' Health Studies and Contribution to Evidence-Based Nutritional Policies and Guidelines
Objectives. To review the contribution of the Nurses’ Health Studies (NHSs) to diet assessment methods and evidence-based nutritional policies and guidelines. Methods. We performed a narrative review of the publications of the NHS and NHS II between 1976 and 2016. Results. Through periodic assessment of diet by validated dietary questionnaires over 40 years, the NHSs have identified dietary determinants of diseases such as breast and other cancer…

Relation Between Dieting and Weight Change Among Preadolescents and Adolescents
Objective. To assess whether dieting to control weight was associated with weight change among children and adolescents. Methods. A prospective study was conducted of 8203 girls and 6769 boys who were 9 to 14 years of age in 1996, were in an ongoing cohort study, and completed at least 2 annual questionnaires between 1996 and 1999. Dieting to control weight, binge eating, and dietary intake were assessed annually from 1996 through 1998 with instr…
The Effect of Fruit and Vegetable Intake on Risk for Coronary Heart Disease
BACKGROUND: Many constituents of fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk for coronary heart disease, but data on the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and risk for coronary heart disease are sparse. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association of fruit and vegetable consumption with risk for coronary heart disease. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: The Nurses' Health Study and the Health Professionals' Follow-Up Study. PAR…

Birth weight and risk of cardiovascular disease in a cohort of women followed up since 1976
Objective: To examine the association between birth weight and non-fatal adult cardiovascular disease while controlling for potential confounders such as socioeconomic group and adult lifestyle. Design: Retrospective self report of birth weight in an ongoing longitudinal cohort of nurses followed up by postal questionnaire every two years. Setting: Nurses' health study, a cohort of 121 700 women followed up since 1976. Main outcome measures: Non-…
Effectiveness and Costs of Veterans Affairs Hypertension Clinics
The effectiveness and costs of care for hypertension are examined in a stratified random sample of 3,087 patients from a network of 32 Veterans Affairs Hypertension Screening and Treatment Clinics (HSTP). During 2.5 years of follow-up, 66% and 88% of patients, respectively, had mean diastolic blood pressure (DBP) levels of 90 or 95 mm Hg or less; 73% remained fully in care; and the mean cost of ambulatory care per patient-year was $647 in 1989 do…
Reproducibility and Validity of a Semiquantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire
The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproducibility and validity of a 61-item semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire used in a large prospective study among women. This form was administered twice to 173 participants at an interval of approximately one year (1980-1981), and four one-week diet records for each subject were collected during that period. Intraclass correlation coefficients for nutrient intakes estimated by the one-week …
The Relationship between Induced Abortion and Outcome of Subsequent Pregnancies
Lack of association between contraceptive usage and congenital malformations in offspring
Previous reports have linked the use of oral contraceptives and spermicides to the occurrence of malformations in offspring. With information from 12,440 women interviewed during the delivery hospitalization we found no relationship between contraceptive method and the occurrence of malformations. Whereas any unnecessary drug should be avoided during pregnancy, prior contraceptive method seems to be unrelated to the risk of congenital malformatio…
Smoking Cessation in a Prospective Study of Healthy Adult Males
The present study examined effects on smoking cessation of three variables—chronological age, time period, and amount smoked—in 637 healthy male smokers aged 22-69 at baseline. Subjects were followed from 1962-1975 using life table procedures. Age was not significantly related to quitting rates (p = .150). The amount smoked effect approached significance (p = .096) with rates of quitting progressively lower at higher consumption levels. Powerful …
