OBJECTIVE—Difficulties in measuring insulin sensitivity prevent the identification of insulin-resistant individuals general population. Therefore, we compared fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment (HOMA), insulin-to-glucose ratio, Bennett index, and a score based on weighted combinations BMI, triglycerides with euglycemic clamp to determine most appropriate method for assessing resistance RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—Family history diabetes, blood pressure, waist hip circumference,...

In childhood, the most common site of fracture is distal forearm. To determine whether young girls with these fractures have low bone density more commonly than fracture-free controls, we measured at radius, spine, hip, and whole body total mineral content, lean tissue mass, fat mass by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 100 Caucasian aged 3-15 years recent forearm age- gender-matched controls. Bone (age-adjusted ratios all cases:controls 95% confidence intervals) was lower cases...
Predictors of childhood fractures have not been investigated previously. This study was undertaken to determine whether a previous history forearm fracture, low bone mineral density (BMD; both areal [aBMD, g/cm2] and volumetric apparent [BMAD, g/cm3]), or anthropometry, influence fracture risk in young girls. At baseline, two cohorts girls, aged 3-15 years, were evaluated: 100 had recently broken (group 1) free 2). Four years later we restudied 170 these girls (82 from group 1 88 We now...
The results of observational studies suggest that plasma homocysteine concentrations are inversely related to cognitive function in older people. Our objective was test the hypothesis lowering concentration improves healthy people.We conducted a two-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial involving 276 participants, 65 years age or older, with at least 13 micromol per liter. Homocysteine-lowering treatment daily supplement containing folate (1000 microg) and...
ABSTRACT Background Strong evidence exists for the efficacy of screening and brief intervention reducing hazardous drinking. However, problems have been highlighted with respect to its implementation in health‐care systems, not least which is a reluctance some doctors discuss alcohol proactively their patients. Aims To determine novel web‐based (e‐SBI) reduce Design A double‐blind randomized controlled trial. Setting university student health service. Participants total 167 students (17–26...
Abstract DXA measurements in 90 children and adolescents with repeated forearm fractures showed reduced ultradistal radius BMC BMD values elevated adiposity, suggesting site-specific bone weakness high body weight increase fracture risk. Symptoms to cow milk, low calcium intakes, early age of first fracture, overweight were over-represented the sample. Introduction: Although many apparently healthy their forearms repeatedly during growth, no previous studies health composition have been...
To investigate the relation between different types of exposure to noise and a classic sign induced hearing loss (NIHL), audiometric notch.The study sample had both continuous impulse was drawn from population electrical transmission workers. Audiograms, taken as part conservation programme, were read by three clinicians experienced in assessment NIHL. Working independently using their clinical judgment, they asked identify localised increases threshold (audiometric notches) which would...
The one-year prevalence and correlates of selected DSM-III-R disorders were determined in a sample 93018-year-olds. Using both diagnostic impairment criteria 340 individuals (36.6%) considered to have disorder. most prevalent major depressive episode (16.7%), alcohol dependence (10.4%) social phobia (11.1%). There was high degree co-morbidity among disorders; 46% those with disorder had two or more. greater for females, the exception conduct marijuana dependence. A variety characteristics...
