Adipose tissue biomarkers of fatty acid intake
Baylin, Ana; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Siles Díaz, Xinia; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2002)The use of biomarkers to assess dietary intake has increased dramatically in the past few years (1-7). Biomarkers may provide a more accurate and objective measure of long-term intake than dietary questionnaires provide ... -
Adipose tissue α-Linolenic acid and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
Baylin, Ana; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Ascherio, Alberto; Spiegelman, Donna; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2003-04-01)Background: α-Linolenic acid may protect against cardiovascular disease. We examined the association between adipose tissue α-linolenic acid and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (MI) in a population-based case-control ... -
Alcohol intake, drinking patterns, and risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Baylin, Ana; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Rimm, Eric B.; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2005-12)Background: Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with a lower risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Whether alcohol is truly protective or whether the amount, type, or pattern of intake is the most important is still ... -
Coffee, CYP1A2 Genotype, and Risk of Myocardial Infarction
Cornelis, Marilyn C.; El-Sohemy, Ahmed; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2006)ontext The association between coffee intake and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) remains controversial. Coffee is a major source of caffeine, which is metabolized by the polymorphic cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme. ... -
Decreased Consumption of Dried Mature Beans Is Positively Associated with Urbanization and Nonfatal Acute Myocardial Infarction
Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Baylin, Ana; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Siles Díaz, Xinia; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2005)Legumes may protect against myocardial infarction (MI). The objective of this study was to determine whether consumption of dried mature beans (referred to as beans), the main legume in Latin America, is associated with ... -
High 18:2 trans fatty acids are associated with increased risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rican adults
Baylin, Ana; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Ascherio, Alberto; Spiegelman, Donna; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2003)Trans-fatty acid intake is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD), but the atherogenic potential of individual trans-fatty acids (FA) from partially hydrogenated oils (18:1 and 18:2) or meat and dairy products (16:1 ... -
Individual saturated fatty acids and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Baylin, Ana; Siles Díaz, Xinia; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2003)Background: Epidemiological studies on the effect of individual saturated fatty acids (SFAs) on cardiovascular disease, especially in developing countries with different dietary patterns, are scarce. Objective: To determine ... -
Nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica: modifiable risk factors, population-attributable risks, and adherence to dietary guidelines
Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Baylin, Ana; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)Disability and mortality resulting from cardiovascular disease (CVD) are on the rise in many developing countries, partly because of the nutritional transition and westernization of lifestyles. Developing countries account ... -
Socio-economic status and health awareness are associated with choice of cooking oil in Costa Rica
Colón Ramos, Uriyoán; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Baylin, Ana; Ascherio, Alberto; Campos Núñez, Hannia; Peterson, Karen E. (2007)Objective To examine the socio-economic and lifestyle determinants of cooking oil choice in Costa Rica during the last decade (1994–2004). Design Cross-sectional study. Subjects (total n = 2274) belonged to the control ... -
The Type of Oil Used for Cooking Is Associated with the Risk of Nonfatal Acute Myocardial Infarction in Costa Rica
Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Baylin, Ana; Ascherio, Alberto; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2005)Palm oil and soybean oil are the 2 most widely used cooking oils in the world. Palm oil is consumed mainly in developing countries, where morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) are on the rise. Although ... -
Transient exposure to coffee as a trigger of a first nonfatal myocardial infarction
Baylin, Ana; Hernández Díaz, Sonia; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Siles Díaz, Xinia; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2006)Background: The effects of coffee on myocardial infarction are uncertain. We hypothesize that coffee in the presence of predisposing factors can induce a cascade of events that, through sympathetic nervous activation, ... -
Triggers of Nonfatal Myocardial Infarction in Costa Rica: Heavy Physical Exertion, Sexual Activity, and Infection
Baylin, Ana; Hernández Díaz, Sonia; Siles Díaz, Xinia; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)Purpose There are no data for factors that could trigger myocardial infarction (MI) in the context of lifestyles in developing countries. Methods Using a case–crossover design, we assessed the effect of heavy physical ...
