  • Hurricanes Irma and Maria and Diabetes incidence in Puerto Rico

    Open AccessMarijulie Martínez-Lozano, Carlamarie Noboa et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2023

    Increases in diabetes incidence, HOMA-IR and HbA1c were higher spanning the hurricanes compared to the pre-hurricanes period. The increase in diabetes incidence remains significant after adjusting for age and BMI

  • Predicted vitamin D status and incidence of tooth loss and periodontitis

    Open AccessM C Jiménez, Monik Jimenez et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2014

    Objective Vitamin D insufficiency is highly prevalent, with particular subgroups at greater risk (e.g. the elderly and those with darker skin). Vitamin D insufficiency may partly explain US racial/ethnic disparities in the prevalence of periodontitis and tooth loss. We evaluated the association between a predictor score of plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) and incidence of periodontitis and tooth loss. Design Detailed biennial questionnaires w…

  • Intakes of fruits, vegetables and carbohydrate and the risk of CVD

    Open AccessKaumudi J Joshipura, Kaumudi Joshipura et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2009

    Background Low-carbohydrate diets could lead to reduced fruit and vegetable intake, which may be protective against CVD. The role of carbohydrate intake in modifying the association between fruits and vegetables and CVD has not been evaluated. Objective To evaluate whether carbohydrate intake affects the association between fruits and vegetables and CVD. Design We included participants from two large prospective studies, the Nurses’ Health Study …

  • Use of Preexisting Radiographs for Assessing Periodontal Disease in Epidemiologic Studies

    Open AccessWaranuch Pitiphat, Constant Crohin et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2004

    Preexisting radiographs are feasible for use in epidemiologic studies and provide valid assessments of periodontal disease

  • The Association Between Tooth Loss and Coronary Heart Disease in Men and Women

    Open AccessHsin-Chia Hung, Hsin‐Chia Hung et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2004

    This study showed a significant association between number of teeth at baseline and risk of coronary heart disease and the mechanisms to explain this association should be further clarified

  • The Relationship Between Amalgam Restorations and Mercury Levels in Male Dentists and Nondental Health Professionals

    Open AccessAnil Joshi, Chester W Douglass et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2003

    Objectives : The objectives of this study were: (1) to compare the mercury levels in general dentists with the mercury levels in other health professionals using toenail clippings as a biomarker, (2) to identify risk factors associated with high mercury levels, and (3) to compare practice characteristics of dentists with high and low mercury levels. Methods : A sample of 579 men was randomly selected from the 33,737 men participating in the Healt…

  • Validation of Self‐reported Periodontal Measures Among Health Professionals

    Open AccessKaumudi J Joshipura, Kaumudi Joshipura et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2002

    Self-reports can provide discrimination and ranking information of cumulative periodontal disease among health professionals and can be used to provide valid results in etiologic studies in health professionals' populations

  • Validation of Self‐reported Oral Health Measures

    Open AccessWaranuch Pitiphat, Raul I Garcia et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry2002

    Self-reports provide reasonably valid estimates for numbers of remaining teeth, fillings, root canal therapy, and fixed and removable prostheses. However, they appear to be less useful for the assessment of dental caries and periodontal disease in the two populations we have studied. There remains a need and potential to further develop self-report oral health measures that are valid for use in large population studies. Such self-report measures …

  • The Effect of Fruit and Vegetable Intake on Risk for Coronary Heart Disease

    Open AccessKaumudi J Joshipura, Kaumudi Joshipura et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Internal Medicine2001

    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…

  • Validity of a Self‐reported Periodontal Disease Measure

    Open AccessKaumudi J Joshipura, Kaumudi Joshipura et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Health Dentistry1996

    Dentists have a good perception of their periodontal status, and there is reasonable consensus among dentists regarding the threshold for defining periodontal disease. Self-reported measures might have potential for use in studies of other populations with substantial cost reduction, and deserve further evaluation
