In men and women 65 years of age or older who are living in the community, dietary supplementation with calcium and vitamin D moderately reduced bone loss measured in the femoral neck, spine, and total body over the three-year study period and reduced the incidence of nonvertebral fractures.
Reference data for obesity: 85th and 95th percentiles of body mass index (wt/ht2) and triceps skinfold thickness.
Race-specific and population-based 85th and 95th percentiles of BMI and TSF for people aged 6-74 y were generated from anthropometric data gathered in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey Survey 1 (NHANES I).

The rapid absorption of glucose after consumption of high-GI meals induces a sequence of hormonal and metabolic changes that promote excessive food intake in obese subjects.

Although muscle mass changes influenced the magnitude of the strength changes over time, strength declines in spite of muscle mass maintenance or even gain emphasize the need to explore the contribution of other cellular, neural, or metabolic mediators of strength changes.
Relative weight and race influence average age at menarche: results from two nationally representative surveys of US girls studied 25 years apart.

These analyses from 2 nationally representative samples of US girls suggest a drop of about 2(1/2) months in the average age of menarche during the time period between 1963-1970 and 1988-1994, paralleled by a concurrent shift in the population distribution of body mass index z-score toward higher relative weights.
A Temporal Association between Folic Acid Fortification and an Increase in Colorectal Cancer Rates May Be Illuminating Important Biological Principles: A Hypothesis

It is hypothesize that the institution of folic acid fortification may have been wholly or partly responsible for the observed increase in colorectal cancer rates in the mid-1990s.
Plasma vitamin B-12 concentrations relate to intake source in the Framingham Offspring study.
Use of supplements, fortified cereal, and milk appears to protect against lower concentrations of vitamin B-12, and further research is needed to investigate possible differences in bioavailability.

An Analytic Approximation to the Distribution of Lilliefors's Test Statistic for Normality
- G. Dallal, Leland Wilkinson

- 1 November 1986
Abstract Table 1 corrects the critical values for testing normality reported by Lilliefors (1967). The corrected table allows us to derive a simple analytic approximation to the upper tail…
