Methods and participant characteristics in the Cancer Risk in Vegetarians Consortium: A cross-sectional analysis across 11 prospective studies
Food intakes and lifestyle factors of both non-vegetarians and vegetarians varied markedly across the individual cohorts, which may be due to differences in both culture and socioeconomic status, as well as differences in questionnaire design. Therefore, care is needed in the interpretation of the impacts of vegetarian diets on cancer risk

Development and calibration of a dietary nitrate and nitrite database in the NIH–Aarp Diet and Health Study
Objective Nitrate and nitrite are probable human carcinogens when ingested under conditions that increase the formation of N -nitroso compounds. There have been limited efforts to develop US databases of dietary nitrate and nitrite for standard FFQ. Here we describe the development of a dietary nitrate and nitrite database and its calibration. Design We analysed data from a calibration study of 1942 members of the NIH–AARP (NIH–AARP, National Ins…
Health Status, Neighborhood Socioeconomic Context, and Premature Mortality in the United States: The National Institutes of Health–Aarp Diet and Health Study
Objectives. We examined whether the risk of premature mortality associated with living in socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods varies according to the health status of individuals. Methods. Community-dwelling adults (n = 566 402; age = 50–71 years) in 6 US states and 2 metropolitan areas participated in the ongoing prospective National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study, which began in 1995. We used baseline data for 565 679 part…
Environmental and Genetical Differences in Linear and Adiposity Dimensions Among Adolescents Boys
The present study comprises of cross sectional data on 414 Punjabi Khatri adolescent boys at a yearly interval from age 11 through 17 years.This group was compared with endogamous 140 Jat Sikhs, an agricultural land owning rural community, for profile of fatness.The anthropometric measurements taken on adolescent boys include weight, stature and skinfold thickness at biceps, triceps, suprailiac and medial calf.A gradual increase of weight from 11…
Adiposity Measures and Menstrual Cycle: Do We Envisage a Relation?
The study aims to see the relationship between menstrual cycle and adiposity measures in Indian populations as menstrual cycle length has an important bearing on fertility and health of women. 415 premenopausal women in the ages 22–50 years residing in Delhi, India constituted the data. The adiposity was assessed by BMI as well as by using Bio-electric impedance method. The information regarding their physical activity pattern and menstrual cycle…
Association between BMI, Blood Pressure, and Age: Study among Tangkhul Naga Tribal Males of Northeast India
Purpose . To find the prevalence of overweight/obesity and hypertension, and to study the association between BMI, blood pressure, and age. Methods . Cross-sectional study was carried out among 257 Tangkhul Naga males of Northeast India, age ranging from 20–70 years. The subjects were divided into five different age groups to study age trend. Results . Mean systolic, and diastolic BP was higher among subjects with elevated BMI and among older sub…
Multi-center feasibility study evaluating recruitment, variability in risk factors and biomarkers for a diet and cancer cohort in India
A high percentage of participants complied with study procedures including biological sample collection. Epidemiologic expertise and sufficient infrastructure exists at these three sites in India to successfully carry out a modest sized population-based study; however, we identified some potential problems in conducting a cohort study, such as limited number of facilities to handle biological samples
Trends in meat consumption in the USA
Objective To characterize the trends, distribution, potential determinants and public health implications of meat consumption within the USA. Design We examined temporal trends in meat consumption using food availability data from the FAO and US Department of Agriculture (USDA), and further evaluated the meat intake by type (red, white, processed) in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) linked to the MyPyramid Equivalent…
Cultural Practices and Nutritional Status Among Premenopausal Women of Urban Setup in India~!2009-08-03~!2009-10-18~!2010-09-02
A data of 124 adult women who had not attained menopause, age ranging from 21-50 years was collected to see the impact of nutritional status as assessed by Body mass index which were categorized according to World Health Organization and cultural practices. Majority of adult urban women were in overweight category followed by normal category and obese category and very few remained in the underweight category. With the increase in number of child…
Gender difference in fat indices as evident in two generations
To report gender difference for stature, weight, body fat and subcutaneous fat distribution between two generations in an endogamous Indian population, cross sectional data from 108 urban families comprising of 1042 adolescent children (11-17 years) and their parents residing in Delhi, India were considered. Various fatness and fat distribution indices were included in the study like BMI, GMT and Trunk-Extremity ratios. A consistent increase in f…
