Am J Respir Crit Care Med 171:334-9. 2005..0001). The association between BMI and severity was stronger in women with early menarche than in women without early menarche (p interaction = 0.02). Findings support the hypothesis of hormonal factors involved in the severity of asthma...- Prospective study of cured meats consumption and risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in menRaphaelle Varraso
Department of Nutrition, Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA, USA
Am J Epidemiol 166:1438-45. 2007..00; p(trend) = 0.002). In contrast to these findings, the consumption of cured meats was not associated with the risk of adult-onset asthma. These data suggest that cured meat may worsen the adverse effects of smoking on risk of COPD... - Prospective study of dietary patterns and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease among US womenRaphaelle Varraso

Am J Clin Nutr 86:488-95. 2007..Although many foods and nutrients are associated with lung function or symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the relation between overall diet and newly diagnosed COPD is not known... - Prospective study of ABO blood type and the risk of pulmonary embolism in two large cohort studiesBrian M Wolpin

Thromb Haemost 104:962-71. 2010..04). In two large, prospective cohorts, ABO blood type was significantly associated with the risk of idiopathic and non-idiopathic PE, with even greater risk for idiopathic PE among current and past smokers with non-O blood type... - Prospective study of diet and venous thromboembolism in US women and menRaphaelle Varraso

Am J Epidemiol 175:114-26. 2012..For intakes of red and processed meat and trans fatty acids, no association was found in women, whereas a significant positive association was found in men.
