..We examined changes in these parameters following training in time- efficient preparation of balanced, low- energy meals combined with pedometer- based step count monitoring...

..We measured the risk of developing a composite cardiovascular outcome of recurrent AMI, congestive heart failure (CHF) requiring hospitalization, or death, in these two groups...

..The cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 enzyme is expressed more in breast cancers than in normal breast tissue. COX-2 inhibition may have a role in breast cancer prevention...

..Among Canadians with type 2 diabetes, we postulate that declines in walking associated with colder temperatures and inclement weather may contribute to annual post-winter increases in A1C levels...

..T2D patients who consistently participate in supervised exercise programs may experience modest weight loss and significant improvements in fitness and blood pressure...

..To assess sex-specific associations of educational and income levels with Type 2 diabetes mellitus...

..High systolic blood pressure (SBP) occurs more frequently both among men and boys than among women and girls. No longitudinal study has investigated whether the impact of SBP determinants differ according to sex in youth...

..In this patient population, we conducted a longitudinal cohort study to objectively quantify seasonal variations both in walking and in two vascular risk factors associated with activity levels, hemoglobin A1C and blood pressure...

..We have reviewed (i) the strength of this association and (ii) the impact of depression-specific management and physical activity interventions on mood and activity levels in overweight adults with Type 2 diabetes...

..Given that low sun exposure can create a greater reliance on dietary sources of vitamin D, we aimed to determine whether dietary vitamin D and blood pressure associations differ between periods of low and high sun exposure...

..It is unclear, however, whether this fact holds good among patients taking ASA. We compared GI hospitalization rates among elderly patients taking celecoxib, NS-NSAIDs, celecoxib and ASA or NS-NSAIDs and ASA...

..Diabetes prevalence is associated with low socioeconomic status (SES), but less is known about the relationship between SES and diabetes incidence...

..Such patients may benefit from home care after discharge. We assessed factors associated with the receipt of home care and evaluated the risk of death within three months after discharge...

..The aims of this study were to describe the incidence rates and assess the variability in BSI risk between dialysis centre types and other centre-level variables...

..To characterize sleep complaints in women with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to identify correlates of sleep quality...

..However, the interaction between sex-and gender-related factors and CVD outcomes in women remains largely unknown...

..We sought to identify hospital and patient characteristics associated with receiving thromboprophylaxis after discharge and to compare the risk of short-term mortality among those who did or did not receive thromboprophylaxis...

..74-0.96). DISCUSSION: Our results suggest that among men 65 years of age or older, frequent use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs/cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors and use of aspirin are associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer...

..Risks of suicide death and of poisoning were compared during periods of SSRI treatment versus periods without any antidepressant treatment among elderly patients...

..To characterize the experience of fatigue in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using a multidimensional assessment and to delineate contributors to physical and mental dimensions of fatigue...

..We hypothesized that during the course of the program, glucose levels during exercise would become more stable, as insulin sensitivity improved. Among adults with type 2 diabetes, glucose levels often decline acutely during exercise...

..This may require the development of new programs for the coordination of required multidisciplinary services. Diffusion of innovations theory offers a conceptual framework that may facilitate the implementation of such programs...

..Extrapolating from general population data, these individuals are likely at particular risk for cardiovascular disease and may, therefore, benefit the most from aggressive cardiovascular risk factor reduction...

..For this reason, our study aimed to obtain gender-specific hazard ratios (HRs) comparing diabetes and CVD patients in terms of all-cause, CVD and coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality...

..16% (95% CI: -0.35, 0.04) with further adjustment for anthropometric indicators of abdominal adiposity.Conclusion:Higher daily steps may be associated with lower A1C values both directly and via changes in abdominal adiposity...

..We compared dietary intakes and vitamin supplement use between obese and nonobese women and men with type 2 diabetes to identify gaps in adherence to nutritional management guidelines...

..This article describes an algorithm to classify respondents to cycle 1.1 (2000/2001) of the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS) according to whether they have type 1, type 2 or gestational diabetes...
