Statins and Risk of Diabetes: An analysis of electronic medical records to evaluate possible bias due to differential survivalGoodarz Danaei
Corresponding author Goodarz Danaei
Diabetes Care 36:1236-40. 2013..CONCLUSIONS In this sample of the general population, statin therapy was associated with 14% increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Am J Epidemiol 175:250-62. 2012..84 (95% CI: 0.77, 0.91).

Lancet 377:557-67. 2011..However, few worldwide comparative analyses of long-term trends of body-mass index (BMI) have been done, and none have used recent national health examination surveys. We estimated worldwide trends in population mean BMI... - The preventable causes of death in the United States: comparative risk assessment of dietary, lifestyle, and metabolic risk factorsGoodarz Danaei
