  1. Quercetin intake and the incidence of cerebrovascular disease
    P Knekt
    National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland
    Eur J Clin Nutr 54:415-7
    ..CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that the intake of apples is related to a decreased risk of thrombotic stroke. This association apparently is not due to the presence of the antioxidant flavonoid quercetin...
  2. Homocysteine and major coronary events: a prospective population study amongst women
    P Knekt
    Department of Nutrition and Department of Health and Disability, National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland
    J Intern Med 249:461-5
    ..77 (0.24-2.45). CONCLUSIONS: This prospective study support the hypothesis that homocysteine is a risk factor for coronary events in women with heart disease...
  3. Heart rate and mortality
    A Reunanen
    National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Central Military Hospital, Helsinki, Finland
    J Intern Med 247:231-9
    ..The increased mortality risk associated with high heart rate related mainly to a group of diseases of noncardiovascular or nonmalignant origin...
  4. Hyperhomocystinemia: a risk factor or a consequence of coronary heart disease?
    P Knekt
    National Public Health, Mannerheimintie 166, 00300 Helsinki, Finland
    Arch Intern Med 161:1589-94
    ..However, it does suggest that mild hyperhomocystinemia predicts secondary coronary events in men with heart disease, possibly as a consequence of atherosclerotic changes...
  5. Twenty-year changes in the prevalence of obesity among Finnish adults
    M Lahti Koski
    National Institute for Health and Welfare THL, Helsinki University Hospital, Helsinki, Finland

  7. Anthropometric measurements and the incidence of low back pain in a cohort of pubertal children
    M Nissinen
    Laakso Hospital, Helsinki, Finland
    Spine (Phila Pa 1976) 19:1367-70
    ..These associations were not significant in girls. CONCLUSIONS. Sitting height and trunk asymmetry may contribute to LBP in pubertal children. The role of anthropometric characteristics seems, however, modest...

    ..78 (95% confidence interval, 0.43-1.17) and 1.02 (0.68-1.38), respectively, for an increase of 5 mm in leg-length inequality. The results from this study make an association between mild leg-length inequality and LBP questionable...

    P Knekt
    National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland
