Nutritional status at admission of children with cancer in Malawi.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Malnutrition at diagnosis is found in 10-50% of children with cancer in industrialized countries. In developing countries a large proportion of the normal paediatric population is undernourished and children with cancer often present ... Read more...

Anthropometric and dietary determinants of blood pressure in over 7000 Mediterranean women: the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Florence cohort.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Anthropometric characteristics and dietary habits are widely recognized to influence blood pressure. We evaluated their role in a large series of Mediterranean adult women. METHODS: In Florence, in the European Prospective Investigation ... Read more...

Anthropometric and metabolic phenotypes in relation to the ADRA2B deletion/insertion polymorphism in Chinese population.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the ADRA2B D/I polymorphism is associated with anthropometric, metabolic, and blood pressure phenotypes in a Chinese population. METHODS: In 1306 participants enrolled in the JingNing population study, we measured ... Read more...
