Dietary Fiber, Glycemic Load, and Risk of NIDDM in Men

Findings support the hypothesis that diets with a high glycemic load and a low cereal fiber content increase risk of NIDDM in men and suggest that grains should be consumed in a minimally refined form to reduce the incidence of N IDDM.
Diet quality and major chronic disease risk in men and women: moving toward improved dietary guidance.

The AHEI predicted chronic disease risk better than did the RFS (or the HEI, in previous research) primarily because of a strong inverse association with CVD.
Major types of dietary fat and risk of coronary heart disease: a pooled analysis of 11 cohort studies.

The associations suggest that replacing SFAs with PUFAs rather than MUFAs or carbohydrates prevents CHD over a wide range of intakes.
Prospective study of major dietary patterns and risk of coronary heart disease in men.

It is suggested that major dietary patterns derived from a food-frequency questionnaire predict risk of CHD, independent of other lifestyle variables.
Fruit and vegetable intake and risk of major chronic disease.

Increased fruit and vegetable consumption was associated with a modest although not statistically significant reduction in the development of major chronic disease and the benefits appeared to be primarily for cardiovascular disease and not for cancer.
Easy SAS calculations for risk or prevalence ratios and differences.

There is no longer any good justification for fitting logistic regression models and estimating odds ratios when the odds ratio is not a good approximation of the risk or prevalence ratio.
The Effect of Fruit and Vegetable Intake on Risk for Coronary Heart Disease

- MedicineAnnals of Internal Medicine
- 19 June 2001
A 1-serving/d increase in fruit or vegetable intake was associated with a 6% lower risk for ischemic stroke, after controlling for standard cardiovascular risk factors, and analyses limited to confirmed cases yielded results very similar to those obtained when all cases were included.
Association between dietary patterns and plasma biomarkers of obesity and cardiovascular disease risk.
Major dietary patterns are predictors of plasma biomarkers of CVD and obesity risk, suggesting that the effect of overall diet on CVD risk may be mediated through these biomarkers.
Prenatal risk factors for autism: comprehensive meta-analysis

- Medicine, PsychologyBritish Journal of Psychiatry
- 1 July 2009
There is insufficient evidence to implicate any one prenatal factor in autism aetiology, although there is some evidence to suggest that exposure to pregnancy complications may increase the risk.
