Caloric Restriction, Energy Balance and Healthy Aging in Okinawans and Americans: Biomarker Differences in Septuagenarians
Willcox B, Willcox D, Todoriki H, Yano K, Curb J, Suzuki M
Okinawan J Am Stud . 2021 Oct; 4:60-72. PMID: 34629932
Background: Caloric restriction (CR) is the only consistently reproducible non-genetic means of minimizing age-related diseases and increasing maximum lifespan in short-lived animals but few human studies exist. Objective: Since elderly...

Biomarkers, menopausal hormone therapy and risk of venous thrombosis: The Women's Health Initiative
Cushman M, Larson J, Rosendaal F, Heckbert S, Curb J, Phillips L, et al.
Res Pract Thromb Haemost . 2018 Jul; 2(2):310-319. PMID: 30046733
Background: Oral menopausal hormone therapy causes venous thrombosis but whether biomarkers of thrombosis risk can identify women at risk is unknown. Methods: We completed a nested case control study in...

Effects of self-reported age at nonsurgical menopause on time to first fracture and bone mineral density in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study
Sullivan S, Lehman A, Thomas F, Johnson K, Jackson R, Wactawski-Wende J, et al.
Menopause . 2015 Mar; 22(10):1035-44. PMID: 25803670
Objective: Menopause is a risk factor for fracture; thus, menopause age may affect bone mass and fracture rates. We compared bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture rates among healthy postmenopausal...

Late-life factors associated with healthy aging in older men
Bell C, Chen R, Masaki K, Yee P, He Q, Grove J, et al.
J Am Geriatr Soc . 2014 May; 62(5):880-8. PMID: 24779449
Objectives: To identify potentially modifiable late-life biological, lifestyle, and sociodemographic factors associated with overall and healthy survival to age 85. Design: Prospective longitudinal cohort study with 21 years of follow-up...

Correlation of a self-report and direct measure of physical activity level in the electron-beam tomography and risk assessment among Japanese and US Men in the post World War II birth cohort (ERA JUMP) study
Berger M, Shin C, Storti K, Curb J, Kriska A, Arena V, et al.
J Epidemiol . 2013 Sep; 23(6):411-7. PMID: 24064592
Background: Physical activity (PA) is complex and a difficult behavior to assess as there is no ideal assessment tool(s) that can capture all contexts of PA. Therefore, it is important...

Multiethnic meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in >100 000 subjects identifies 23 fibrinogen-associated Loci but no strong evidence of a causal association between circulating fibrinogen and cardiovascular disease
Sabater-Lleal M, Huang J, Chasman D, Naitza S, Dehghan A, Johnson A, et al.
Circulation . 2013 Aug; 128(12):1310-24. PMID: 23969696
Background: Estimates of the heritability of plasma fibrinogen concentration, an established predictor of cardiovascular disease, range from 34% to 50%. Genetic variants so far identified by genome-wide association studies explain...

A cross-sectional association of obesity with coronary calcium among Japanese, Koreans, Japanese Americans, and U.S. whites
Fujiyoshi A, Sekikawa A, Shin C, Masaki K, Curb J, Ohkubo T, et al.
Eur Heart J Cardiovasc Imaging . 2013 Jun; 14(9):921-7. PMID: 23764486
Aims: Conflicting evidence exists regarding whether obesity is independently associated with coronary artery calcium (CAC), a measure of coronary atherosclerosis. We examined an independent association of obesity with prevalent CAC...

Ethnic difference in liver fat content: a cross-sectional observation among Japanese American in Hawaii, Japanese in Japan, and non-Hispanic whites in United States
Azuma K, Curb J, Kadowaki T, Edmundowicz D, Kadowaki S, Masaki K, et al.
Obes Res Clin Pract . 2013 May; 7(3):e198-205. PMID: 23697588
Background: We recently reported that Japanese had higher liver fat at a lower level of BMI compared with non-Hispanic whites (NHW). Objective: We hypothesize that ethnic difference in fat storage...

Factors relating to eating style, social desirability, body image and eating meals at home increase the precision of calibration equations correcting self-report measures of diet using recovery biomarkers: findings from the Women's Health Initiative
Mossavar-Rahmani Y, Tinker L, Huang Y, Neuhouser M, McCann S, Seguin R, et al.
Nutr J . 2013 May; 12:63. PMID: 23679960
Background: The extent to which psychosocial and diet behavior factors affect dietary self-report remains unclear. We examine the contribution of these factors to measurement error of self-report. Methods: In 450...

Relationship of dietary monounsaturated fatty acids to blood pressure: the International Study of Macro/Micronutrients and Blood Pressure
Miura K, Stamler J, Brown I, Ueshima H, Nakagawa H, Sakurai M, et al.
J Hypertens . 2013 Apr; 31(6):1144-50. PMID: 23572200
Objective: In short-term feeding trials, replacement of other macronutrients with monounsaturated fatty acid reduces blood pressure. However, observational studies have not clearly demonstrated a relationship between monounsaturated fatty acid intake...
