TL;DR: The associations of both overweight and obesity with higher all-cause mortality were broadly consistent in four continents and supports strategies to combat the entire spectrum of excess adiposity in many populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excess risk of fatal coronary heart disease associated with diabetes in men and women: meta-analysis of 37 prospective cohort studies
TL;DR: The relative risk for fatal coronary heart disease associated with diabetes is 50% higher in women than it is in men, which may be explained by more adverse cardiovascular risk profiles among women with diabetes, combined with possible disparities in treatment that favour men.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of size at birth and postnatal catch-up growth in determining systolic blood pressure: a systematic review of the literature.
TL;DR: Both birth weight and head circumference at birth are inversely related to systolic blood pressure, and the relationship is present in adolescence but attenuated compared to both the pre- and post-adolescence periods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indices of abdominal obesity are better discriminators of cardiovascular risk factors than BMI: a meta-analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors performed a meta-analysis of published literature to determine which simple index of overweight and obesity is the best discriminator of cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, type-2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type-II diabetes and pancreatic cancer: a meta-analysis of 36 studies.
Rachel R. Huxley,Alireza Ansary-Moghaddam,A Berrington de González,Federica Barzi,M N Woodward +4 more
TL;DR: A modest causal association between type-II diabetes and pancreatic cancer is supported and is explained, in part, by higher risks being reported by smaller studies and studies that reported before 2000.
