Tofler G, Massaro J, ODonnell C, Wilson P, Vasan R, Sutherland P, et al.
Thromb Res . 2016 Feb; 140:30-35. PMID: 26896607
Introduction: Although plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1) plays a key regulatory role in fibrinolysis, it has not been clearly shown to independently predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals without prior CVD....

Franceschini N, Haack K, Goring H, Voruganti V, Laston S, Almasy L, et al.
Diabetologia . 2013 Jul; 56(10):2194-202. PMID: 23851660
Aims/hypothesis: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic, heterogeneous disease and a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The underlying mechanisms leading to progression to type 2 diabetes are not fully...

Wang H, Troy L, Rogers G, Fox C, McKeown N, Meigs J, et al.
Int J Obes (Lond) . 2013 Jun; 38(2):299-305. PMID: 23736371
Background: Dairy foods are nutrient dense and may be protective against long-term weight gain. Objective: We aimed to examine the longitudinal association between dairy consumption and annualized changes in weight...

Attard S, Herring A, Mayer-Davis E, Popkin B, Meigs J, Gordon-Larsen P
Diabetologia . 2012 Aug; 55(12):3182-92. PMID: 22923063
Aims/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between urbanisation-related factors and diabetes prevalence in China. Methods: Anthropometry, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and community-level data were collected...

Liu C, Ng M, Rybin D, Adeyemo A, Bielinski S, Boerwinkle E, et al.
Diabetologia . 2012 Aug; 55(11):2970-84. PMID: 22893027
Aims/hypothesis: Hyperglycaemia disproportionately affects African-Americans (AfAs). We tested the transferability of 18 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with glycaemic traits identified in European ancestry (EuA) populations in 5,984 non-diabetic AfAs. Methods:...

Vassy J, Durant N, Kabagambe E, Carnethon M, Rasmussen-Torvik L, Fornage M, et al.
Diabetologia . 2012 Jul; 55(10):2604-2612. PMID: 22782289
Aims/hypothesis: Genotype does not change over the life course and may thus facilitate earlier identification of individuals at high risk for type 2 diabetes. We hypothesised that a genotype score...

Walford G, Green T, Neale B, Isakova T, Rotter J, Grant S, et al.
Diabetologia . 2011 Nov; 55(2):331-9. PMID: 22038522
Aims/hypothesis: Common genetic variants have been associated with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesised that a subset of these variants may have different effects on the transition from normal fasting glucose...

Liu E, McKeown N, Pittas A, Meigs J, Economos C, Booth S, et al.
Eur J Clin Nutr . 2011 Oct; 66(1):139-41. PMID: 22009071
Data on the association between vitamin D status and actual change in glycemic measures are limited. We examined the prospective association between a predicted 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) score and change...

Hivert M, Sullivan L, Shrader P, Fox C, Nathan D, DAgostino Sr R, et al.
Diabetologia . 2011 Feb; 54(5):1019-24. PMID: 21336532
Aims/hypothesis: Lower adiponectin levels are associated with higher risk of incident type 2 diabetes. Most analyses have been adjusted for confounding factors, but few have taken into account insulin resistance...

Grant R, Hivert M, Pandiscio J, Florez J, Nathan D, Meigs J
Diabetologia . 2009 Sep; 52(11):2299-2305. PMID: 19727660
Aims/hypothesis: Advances in type 2 diabetes genetics have raised hopes that genetic testing will improve disease prediction, prevention and treatment. Little is known about current physician and patient views regarding...
