<h3>Importance</h3> Prospective studies linking shift work to coronary heart disease (CHD) have been inconsistent and limited by short follow-up. <h3>Objective</h3> To determine whether rotating night is associated with CHD risk. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> cohort study of 189 158 initially healthy women followed up over 24 years in the Nurses’ Health Studies (NHS [1988-2012]: N = 73 623 NHS2 [1989-2013]: 115 535). <h3>Exposures</h3> Lifetime history (≥3 shifts per month addition...
Animal and human data have suggested that shift work involving circadian disruption may be carcinogenic for humans, but epidemiological evidence colorectal cancer remains limited. We investigated the association of rotating night risk in two prospective female cohorts, Nurses' Health Study (NHS) NHS2, with 24 years follow‐up. In total, 190,810 women (NHS = 77,439; NHS2 113,371) were included this analysis, 1,965 incident cases 1,527; 438) reported during followup (NHS: 1988–2012, NHS2:...
Maintaining adequate serum levels of vitamin D may be important for sleep duration and quality; however, these associations are not well understood. We examined whether 25(OH)D associated with objective measures in older men.Cross-sectional study within a large cohort community-dwelling men, the MrOS study.Among 3,048 men age 68 years or older, we measured total D. Objective estimates nightly time, efficiency, wake time after onset (WASO) were obtained using wrist actigraphy worn an average...
The frequency of cooking at home has not been assessed globally. Data from the Gallup World Poll in 2018/2019 wave (N = 145,417) were collected 142 countries using telephone and face to interviews. We describe differences 'scratch' lunch dinner across globe by gender. Poisson regression was used assess predictors frequency. Associations between disparities (at country level) men women with perceptions subjective well-being linear regression. Across globe, varied considerably; cooked more...
Importance In 2022, the US House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution (House Resolution 1118 at 117th Congress [2021-2022]) calling for meaningful nutrition education medical trainees. This was prompted by increasing health care spending attributed to growing prevalence nutrition-related diseases and substantial federal funding via Medicare that supports graduate education. March 2023, professional organizations agreed identify competencies Objective To recommend inclusion in...
Background: The association between alcohol and caffeine intakes risk of multiple sclerosis (MS) is unclear; no prospective studies have examined this relationship. Objective: We in relation to sclerosis. Methods: Intakes were the MS two large cohorts women, Nurses’ Health Study (NHS; 92,275 women followed from 1980 2004) II (NHS II; 95,051 1991 2005). Their diet was assessed at baseline every four years thereafter. During follow-up, 282 cases confirmed with onset symptoms after baseline....
To determine whether serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) in young adults are associated with risk type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D), we conducted a prospective, nested case-control study among US active-duty military personnel the Department Defense Serum Repository, identifying 310 T1D cases diagnosed between 1997 and 2009 at least 2 samples collected before disease onset 613 controls matched to on age, sex, race/ethnicity, branch service, dates collection. Conditional logistic...
This protocol describes a study to investigate the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of novel Teaching Kitchen Multisite Trial (TK-MT) for adults with cardiometabolic abnormalities. The TK-MT hybrid lifestyle intervention combining in-person virtual instruction in culinary skills, nutrition education, movement, mindfulness community support behavior change strategies. 18-month-long randomized controlled trial aims evaluate implementing 12-month, 24 class program, assess efficacy, identify...
To study whether physical activity during adulthood or early life is associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) incidence in 2 prospective cohorts of women.Women the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) (n = 81,723; 1986-2004) and NHS II 111,804; 1989-2009) reported recent at baseline selected follow-up questionnaires. Using this information, we calculated total metabolic equivalent hours per week, a measure energy expenditure. There were 341 confirmed MS cases first symptoms after baseline. Participants...

Abstract: We assessed the health of workers exposed to World Trade Center (WTC) site and a comparison group unexposed workers, by means mail survey. Exposed reported higher frequency symptoms consistent with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, other psychological problems, approximately 20 months after disaster. PTSD was positively associated traumatic on‐site experiences respiratory problems. These findings may have important clinical public implications.
Background: Food choices are essential to successful glycemic control for people with diabetes. We compared the impact of three carbohydrate-rich meals on postprandial response in adults type 1 diabetes (T1D). Methods: performed a randomized crossover study 12 T1D (age 58.7 ± 14.2 years, baseline hemoglobin A1c 7.5% 1.3%) comparing using continuous glucose monitoring: (1) "higher protein" pasta containing 10 g protein/serving, (2) regular 7 and (3) extra-long grain white rice. All contained...
Abstract Adherence to healthful dietary patterns is associated with lower body mass index (BMI) in adults; however, whether maternal diet quality during peripregnancy related a overweight risk the offspring remains be elucidated. We investigated associations between Alternate Healthy Eating Index (AHEI), Mediterranean Diet (aMED) and Dietary Approach Stop Hypertension (DASH) weight outcomes study including 2729 mother–child pairs from Nurses’ Health Study II cohort Growing Up Today II....
Teaching kitchens are physical and virtual forums that foster practical life skills through participation in experiential education. Given the well-supported connection between healthy eating patterns prevention management of chronic diseases, both private public organizations building teaching (TKs) to enhance health wellness patients, staff, youth, general community.
