Muscle-Strengthening and Conditioning Activities and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Study in Two Cohorts of US Women
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Background: It is well established that aerobic physical activity can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), but whether muscle-strengthening activities are beneficial for the prevention of T2D is unclear. This study ...
Mannose-Binding Lectin 2 Gene and Risk of Adult Glioma
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Background and Aims The immune system is likely to play a key role in the etiology of gliomas. Genetic polymorphisms in the mannose-binding lectin gene, a key activator in the lectin complement pathway, have been associated ...
Two Patterns of Adipokine and Other Biomarker Dynamics in a Long-Term Weight Loss Intervention
(American Diabetes Association, 2012)
Objective: Long-term dietary intervention frequently induces a rapid weight decline followed by weight stabilization/regain. Here, we sought to identify adipokine biomarkers that may reflect continued beneficial effects ...
Fat intake after diagnosis and risk of lethal prostate cancer and all-cause mortality
(American Medical Association, 2013)
IMPORTANCE Nearly 2.5 million men currently live with prostate cancer in the United States, yet little is known about the association between diet after diagnosis and prostate cancer progression and overall mortality.OBJECTIVE ...
Prostate-specific membrane antigen protein expression in tumor tissue and risk of lethal prostate cancer
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2013)
Background: Overexpression of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in tumor tissue and serum has been linked to increased risk of biochemical recurrence in surgically treated prostate cancer patients, but none of the ...
Insulin-like Growth Factor Pathway Genetic Polymorphisms, Circulating IGF1 and IGFBP3, and Prostate Cancer Survival
(Oxford University Press, 2014)
Risk of a Second Primary Cancer after Non-melanoma Skin Cancer in White Men and Women: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Background: Previous studies suggest a positive association between history of non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and risk of subsequent cancer at other sites. The purpose of this study is to prospectively examine the risk ...
Consumption of Fish Products across the Lifespan and Prostate Cancer Risk
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Objective: To examine whether fish and fish oil consumption across the lifespan is associated with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Design: The study was nested among 2268 men aged 67–96 years in the AGES-Reykjavik cohort ...
Y Chromosome Haplogroups and Prostate Cancer in Populations of European and Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestry
(Springer-Verlag, 2012)
Genetic variation on the Y chromosome has not been convincingly implicated in prostate cancer risk. To comprehensively analyze the role of inherited Y chromosome variation in prostate cancer risk in individuals of European ...
Healthy Lifestyle and Leukocyte Telomere Length in U.S. Women
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Context: Whether a healthy lifestyle may be associated with longer telomere length is largely unknown. Objectives: To examine healthy lifestyle practices, which are primary prevention measures against major age-related ...
