We conducted a dose–response meta-analysis to explore the association between alcohol and particular alcoholic beverages with risk of esophageal cancer (EC) by histological type [esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC)] and whether the association differs according to gender.. A total of 74 published articles involving 31,105 cases among 3,369,024 participants were included… Continue reading #Alcohol, Alcoholic Beverages and Risk of #Esophageal Cancer by Histological Type: A Dose–Response Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

#Obesity Progression between Young Adulthood and Midlife and Incident #Arthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study of US Adults
..Among our sample of adults who were 40‐69 years old at their midlife weight measure (n=13,669), 3,603 developed an arthritis condition. Compared with adults who maintained a normal‐normal BMI, the normal‐overweight, normal‐obese, overweight‐obese, and obese‐obese groups had significantly elevated risk of incident arthritis conditions. The obese‐overweight group had lower risk of incident arthritis conditions compared… Continue reading #Obesity Progression between Young Adulthood and Midlife and Incident #Arthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study of US Adults
Associations of iron markers with type 2 #diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: Results from the prospective SHIP study
To assess the role of serum ferritin and transferrin with prevalent and incident type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and whether these associations are independent of inflammatory markers and hepatic enzymes.. Serum ferritin concentrations were associated with a higher prevalence of T2DM (total population OR: 1.16 [95% CI: 1.07, 1.26]; men OR:… Continue reading Associations of iron markers with type 2 #diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: Results from the prospective SHIP study
Afternoon distraction: a high-saturated-fat meal and endotoxemia impact postmeal attention in a randomized crossover trial
Saturated-fat intake and endotoxemia can impair cognition. However, their acute impact on cognitive performance is unknown.. In this double-blind, randomized crossover trial, 51 women (n = 32 breast cancer survivors, n = 19 noncancer controls; mean ± SD age: 53 ± 8 y) completed the Continuous Performance Test (CPT) and had their blood drawn to… Continue reading Afternoon distraction: a high-saturated-fat meal and endotoxemia impact postmeal attention in a randomized crossover trial
Serum #iodine and #breast cancer risk: A prospective nested case-control study stratified for selenium levels
Iodine has been suggested to protect against breast cancer, but there are no epidemiological studies on individual risk. An interesting finding is that in areas where the exposure to both selenium and iodine are high (e.g. Japan), the risk of breast cancer is lower than in areas where selenium is high and iodine low (e.g.… Continue reading Serum #iodine and #breast cancer risk: A prospective nested case-control study stratified for selenium levels
#Anaemia, iron status, and gender predict the outcome in patients with chronic heart #failure
Anaemia and iron deficiency (ID) are frequently found in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and associated with adverse outcome. However, it is unclear whether absolute [transferrin saturation (TSAT) <20%, ferritin <100 μg/L] or inflammation‐driven functional ID (TSAT <20%, ferritin >100 μg/L) with and without anaemia had similar or different consequences for such patients Within… Continue reading #Anaemia, iron status, and gender predict the outcome in patients with chronic heart #failure
#Potato Protein Isolate Stimulates #Muscle Protein Synthesis at Rest and with Resistance Exercise in Young Women
Skeletal muscle myofibrillar protein synthesis (MPS) increases in response to protein feeding and to resistance exercise (RE), where each stimuli acts synergistically when combined. The efficacy of plant proteins such as potato protein (PP) isolate to stimulate MPS is unknown. We aimed to determine the effects of PP ingestion on daily MPS with and without… Continue reading #Potato Protein Isolate Stimulates #Muscle Protein Synthesis at Rest and with Resistance Exercise in Young Women
Long-term dietary #flavonoid intake and risk of #Alzheimer disease and related dementias in the Framingham Offspring Cohort
Findings from existing prospective observational studies on the protective associations of flavonoid intake and the risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementias (ADRD) are inconsistent largely due to limitations of these studies.. ..Over an average follow-up of 19.7 y in 2801 participants (mean baseline age = 59.1 y; 52% females), there were 193 ADRD events… Continue reading Long-term dietary #flavonoid intake and risk of #Alzheimer disease and related dementias in the Framingham Offspring Cohort
Rebaudioside affords hepatoprotection ameliorating sugar sweetened beverage- induced nonalcoholic #steatohepatitis
Sugar-sweetened beverage consumption is a known independent risk factor for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Non-caloric sweeteners (NCS) are food additives providing sweetness without calories and are considered safe and/or not metabolized by the liver. The potential role of newer NCS in the regulation of NASH, however, remain unknown. Our study aimed to determine the impact of… Continue reading Rebaudioside affords hepatoprotection ameliorating sugar sweetened beverage- induced nonalcoholic #steatohepatitis
