The Contribution of Autonomic Imbalance to the Development of Metabolic Syndrome
OBJECTIVES: Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease-the most costly epidemics of our time-share a common but rarely treated mechanism: autonomic imbalance. We examined the contribution of autonomic imbalance, relative to selected demographic and biobehavioral risk factors, to the development of metabolic syndrome in a community sample for 12 years. METHODS: We identified offspring cohort participants from the Framingham Heart Study who did not have …
Does Hospitalization Impact Survival After Lower Respiratory Infection in Nursing Home Residents
BACKGROUND: Lower respiratory infection (LRI) is the leading cause of hospitalization for nursing home residents, but hospitalization is costly and may cause complications. OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare mortality and cost between episodes of LRI initially treated in the hospital versus the nursing home after controlling for illness severity and the probability of hospitalization. DESIGN: This was a prospective cohort study of nursing home resid…
Overweight and Obesity as Determinants of Cardiovascular Risk: The Framingham Experience
Background To our knowledge, no single investigation concerning the long-term effects of overweight status on the risk for hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular sequelae has been reported. Methods Relations between categories of body mass index (BMI), cardiovascular disease risk factors, and vascular disease end points were examined prospectively in Framingham Heart Study participants aged 35 to 75 years, who w…

The 27 Percent Rule Revisited
The problem of selecting the size of the tails from a sample drawn from a distribution of test scores for item analysis study is discussed. In the past the selected tails were viewed as independent samples. However, this is not the case. The tails are dependent. Given this we find that each tail should contain about 21% of the sample and not the traditional 27%. Use of 27%, however, is not far from optimal
