New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to ...

Body mass index, abdominal fatness, fat mass and the risk of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and dose–response meta-analysis of prospective studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Different adiposity measures have been associ- ated with increased risk of atrial fibrillation, however, results have previously only been summarized for BMI. We therefore conducted a systematic review and meta- analysis of prospective studies to clarify

Impact of Heated Versus Unheated Cooking Oil on Postprandial Vascular Function and Metabolism

open access: yesLipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of repeated heating of seed‐based culinary oils on cardiometabolic health has not been well established. Heating oils to high temperatures (> 150°C) causes lipid peroxidation, thus generating potentially harmful compounds that may impair vascular function. This randomized, single‐blind, crossover study investigated the acute effects

Comprehensive Evidence for Mortality and Underlying Morbidity Related to Visceral Fat Distribution

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linking obesity to mortality is an intriguing and controversial topic. This study tried to comprehensively assess 8 adiposity surrogates and mortality association among middle‐to‐old‐aged adults to identify a superior one, and explore explanatory disorders. Data sources included the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), UK
