Physical activity, genetic predisposition, and incident cardiovascular disease: Prospective analyses of the UK Biobank [PDF]
Background: It is unclear whether physical activity can benefit participants with high genetic predisposition to cardiovascular disease. We examined the joint associations of intensity-specific physical activity and genetic predisposition (based on ...

OBESITY AND DYSLIPIDEMIA IN CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC HEPATITIS [PDF]
Chronic hepatitis association with various types of dyslipidemia is a reality not only for the obese pediatric patient, in which we expect to find hypercholesterolemia and / or hypertriglyceridemias, but also for normal weight children with hepatitis ...

Self-reported cancer family history is a useful tool for identification of individuals at risk of hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome at primary care centers in middle-income settings: a longitudinal study [PDF]
Analysis of cancer family history (CFH) offers a low-cost genetic tool to identify familial cancer predisposition. In middle-income settings, the scarcity of individual records and database-linked records hinders the assessment of self-reported CFH ...
