Obstruction of bile flow results in bacterial proliferation and mucosal injury the small intestine that can lead to translocation bacteria across epithelial barrier systemic infection. These adverse effects biliary obstruction be inhibited by administration acids. Here we show farnesoid X receptor (FXR), a nuclear for acids, induces genes involved enteroprotection inhibits overgrowth ileum caused duct ligation. Mice lacking FXR have increased ileal levels compromised barrier. findings reveal...
Recently, a Joint Scientific Statement bridged differences between previous definitions of metabolic syndrome. Our objective was to estimate the prevalence syndrome in representative sample US adults and examine its correlates.We analyzed data for up 3461 participants aged ≥ 20 years 2003-2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey.Using waist circumference thresholds 102 cm men 88 women, age-adjusted 34.3% among all adults, 36.1% men, 32.4% women. Using racial- or ethnic-specific...
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and/or impaired tolerance (IGT) are considered to constitute "pre-diabetes." We estimated the prevalence of IFG, IGT, and pre-diabetes among U.S. adolescents using data from a nationally representative sample.We analyzed participants aged 12-19 years in National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 2005-2006. used plasma 2-h during an oral test assess log-binomial model estimate ratios (PRs) 95% CIs.The unadjusted prevalences were 13.1, 3.4, 16.1%, respectively....
We examined the relationship between 4 low-risk behaviors-never smoked, healthy diet, adequate physical activity, and moderate alcohol consumption-and mortality in a representative sample of people United States.We used data from 16958 participants aged 17 years older National Health Nutrition Examination Survey III Mortality Study 1988 to 2006.The number behaviors was inversely related risk for mortality. Compared with who had no behaviors, those all experienced reduced all-cause (adjusted...
Our objective was to estimate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome using 2007 pediatric International Diabetes Federation (IDF) definition among adolescents in U.S.We used data from 2,014 participants aged 12-17 years National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004.The for period 1999-2004 approximately 4.5% ( 1.1 million 2006). It increased with age, higher males (6.7%) than females (2.1%) (P = 0.006), highest Mexican-American (7.1%). The relatively stable across 6-year period:...
Increasing evidence supports triglyceride (TG) concentration as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia during period rising obesity and its pharmacological treatment among US adults are poorly understood.We examined data 5610 participants 20 years or older from the National Health Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999 to 2004.The unadjusted (percentage [SE]) TG 150 mg/dL higher (to convert triglycerides millimoles per liter, multiply by 0.0113) was...
Obesity is associated with an increased risk of mental illness; however, evidence linking body mass index (BMI)-a measure overall obesity, to illness inconsistent. The objective this study was examine the association depressive symptoms waist circumference or abdominal obesity among overweight and obese U.S. adults. A cross-sectional, nationally representative sample from 2005-2006 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey used. We analyzed data 2,439 adults (1,325 men 1,114 nonpregnant...
To compare the prevalence and correlates of meeting current recommendations for physical activity in older adults with without diabetes mellitus (DM) United States.A cross-sectional, population-based sample.The 2007 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, which employs random-digit dialing to interview noninstitutionalized U.S. adults.Ninety-nine thousand one hundred seventy-two (18,370 DM) aged 65 older.The age-adjusted odds ratios patterns (defined on basis guidelines from American...
Although there is evidence that vitamin D deficiency may play a role in depression, studies done on the associations have yielded mixed results. The present study aimed to examine between serum concentrations of 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) presence depression among US adults. A cross-sectional, population-based sample (including 3916 participants aged ≥ 20 years) from 2005-6 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey was used. Participants' depressive symptoms...
Background Regular physical activity elicits multiple health benefits in the prevention and management of chronic diseases. We examined mortality risks associated with levels leisure-time aerobic muscle-strengthening based on 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans among US adults. Methods analysed data from 1999 to 2004 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey linked obtained through 2006. Cox proportional HRs 95% CIs were estimated assess all-causes cardiovascular disease (CVD)...
Abstract Aims To investigate whether US adults with diabetes meet both the national and American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommendations for physical activity compared people without diabetes, to examine trends of this behaviour over time. Methods We analysed data from large nationally representative cohorts 1996–2005 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System. The number participants ranged 98 127 in 1996 204 977 2005, 4379 13 608 2005. Participants were classified by their exercise...
Recently, the American Academy of Pediatrics updated guidance on lipid screening in childhood. Our objective was to examine recent distributions concentrations total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein among US children adolescents estimate prevalence who are potentially eligible for pharmacological treatment elevated cholesterol.We used data from National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 1999 2006 participants 6 17 years age. The mean concentration 12 age 90.2 mg/dL (n=2724), 163.0...
Cohorts consistently show that individuals with low levels of cardiovascular risk factors experience rates subsequent events. Our objective was to examine the prevalence and trends in factor burden for disease among adults US population.
OBJECTIVE To examine whether concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) and parathyroid hormone (PTH) are associated with surrogate markers insulin resistance (IR) in U.S. adults without physician-diagnosed diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Cross-sectional data (n = 3,206) from the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003–2006 were analyzed. RESULTS The age-adjusted prevalence hyperinsulinemia, high homeostasis model assessment-IR, GHb, fasting 2-h...
The objective was to study the cross-sectional association between body mass index (BMI) and prevalence of severe headaches or migraines in a national sample US adults. We used data from 7601 men women aged ≥ 20 years who participated National Health Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2002. age-adjusted during previous 3 months 34.0, 18.9, 20.7 25.9± among participants with BMI< 18.5, 18.5 to< 25, 25 30 kg/m 2 , respectively. After adjusting for variety covariates logistic regression...
Vitamin D deficiency or high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) appear to be emerging risk factors for hypertension.
