Am J Clin Nutr 69:147-52. 1999..Protein is an important structural component of bone and protein supplementation improves the medical outcome of hip fracture patients, but it is unknown whether protein intake can reduce the incidence risk of hip fracture...- Maternal vitamin B-6 and folate status and risk of oral cleft birth defects in the PhilippinesRonald G Munger
Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Utah State University, Logan, Utah, USA
Birth Defects Res A Clin Mol Teratol 70:464-71. 2004..Vitamin deficiencies induce oral clefts in animal experiments, but the role of specific nutrients in human oral clefts is uncertain... 
Church attendance and new episodes of major depression in a community study of older adults: the Cache County StudyMaria C Norton
Department of Family, Consumer and Human Development, Cache County Study on Memory Health and Aging, Utah State University, 4440 Old Main Hill, Logan, UT 84322 4440, USA
J Gerontol B Psychol Sci Soc Sci 63:P129-37. 2008..28-0.92). Results suggest that there may be a threshold of church attendance that is necessary for a person to garner long-term protection from depression. We discuss sociological factors relevant to LDS culture...

Birth Defects Res A Clin Mol Teratol 85:151-5. 2009..We measured plasma zinc concentrations (PZn) of case and control mothers to evaluate the associations between PZn and risk of OCs with and without other malformations... - Dietary protein intake and risk of osteoporotic hip fracture in elderly residents of UtahHeidi J Wengreen
Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84322-4450, USA
J Bone Miner Res 19:537-45. 2004..The association between dietary protein intake and risk of hip fracture may be modified by age.

Department of Nutrition and Food Sciences, Utah State University, Logan, UT, USA
Am J Epidemiol 163:9-17. 2006..0001). No similar associations were found in never smokers. Antioxidant intake was associated with reduced risk of osteoporotic hip fracture in these elderly subjects, and the effect was strongly modified by smoking status... - Tobacco smoking and oral clefts: a meta-analysisJulian Little

Research Grants
- THE CACHE COUNTY FAMILY BASED COHORT STUDY ON AGINGRonald Munger; Fiscal Year: 2002..We will investigate use of the unified modeling approach--within the sib-pair framework--to test the degree of association between candidate genes and age-specified traits and to test for gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. ..
- NUTRIENT BIOMARKERS, GENES AND OROFACIAL CLEFTSRonald Munger; Fiscal Year: 2004..Our multidisciplinary study of maternal nutrition and risk of clefting in the context of genes related to metabolic pathways may lead to a better understanding of the causes and prevention of orofacial clefts. ..
