background: although red meat consumption is related to the prevalence of diabetes, few data are available showing the relationship between red meat intake, inflammation, and metabolic syndrome. the study aimed to identify the association between the red meat intake, metabolic syndrome, and circulating concentration of c-reactive protein (crp) as a surrogate measure of inflammation. methods: in...

BACKGROUND Abundant evidence indicates that a high sodium intake is causally related to high blood pressure, but debate over recommendations to reduce dietary sodium in the general population continues. A key issue is whether differences in usual sodium intake within the range feasible in free-living populations have clinical or public health relevance. OBJECTIVE We examined the relation betw...

BACKGROUND There is considerable interest in the possible role of vitamin D in respiratory disease, but only one population-based study has reported associations with lung function. METHODS The cross-sectional relationships of total dietary vitamin D intake, serum 25 hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and three vitamin D receptor (VDR) polymorphisms (Apa1, Fok1 and Cdx2) with lung fun...

BACKGROUND Macronutrients such as fat and fiber have been hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of endometrial cancer. METHODS To investigate these associations, the authors analyzed data from the Nurses' Health Study. From 1980 to 2006, 669 invasive adenocarcinoma cases were identified over 1.3 million person-years of follow-up. Dietary intake was assessed in 1980 and updated every 2-4...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that a high dietary intake of fruit and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of ischemic stroke. The magnitude of the effect is uncertain, and only one study reported data on the intake of specific fruit and vegetables and the risk of stroke. OBJECTIVE We examined whether the intake of fruit and vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of...

an s-curve to describe the gradual transition between exhaust pressure and intake or inlet pressure. The start of compression, which marks the end of the intake process, does not necessarily occur at the same time as the close of the intake valve (IVC). The intake valve closes after bottom center (BC) while the volume in the cylinder is decreasing. The engine speed determines the point at which...

BACKGROUND Whether intake of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-derived n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), could prevent cardiovascular diseases is not yet clear. We examined the associations of ALA intake with 10-year incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke in the Netherlands. METHODS Data were collected from a general population of 20,069 generally healthy men and women,...
