The joint association of cardiometabolic health and weight on mortality in the multiethnic cohort
Objective: While cardiometabolic abnormalities are associated with elevated risk of morbidity, they may not occur in all individuals with obesity. Less is known about associations with mortality, especially cancer mortality. This study examined associations between cardiometabolic-weight categories and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer, and all causes. Methods: Cox proportional hazards regressions of time to all-cause, CVD, and …

Predictors of Retention Among African Americans in a Randomized Controlled Trial to Test the Healthy Eating and Active Living in the Spirit (Heals) Intervention

Disease Messaging in Churches
Perceived influence and college students’ diet and physical activity behaviors
Among the groups nominated, high school friends were perceived as least influential, especially among students who moved a long distance for college. Intervention strategies addressing perceived norms and using peer leaders may help promote physical activity among college students, while diet interventions may need to involve significant others in order to be successful. Testing of these types of intervention strategies and continued examination …

Oestrogen levels in serum and urine of premenopausal women eating low and high amounts of meat
Objective Based on the hypothesis that high-meat diets may increase breast cancer risk through hormonal pathways, the present analysis compared oestrogens in serum and urine by meat-eating status. Design Intervention with repeated measures. Setting Two randomized soya trials (BEAN1 and BEAN2) among premenopausal healthy women. Subjects BEAN1 participants completed seven unannounced 24 h dietary recalls and donated five blood and urine samples ove…
