High 18:2 trans fatty acids are associated with increased risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rican adults
(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 ...
The Type of Oil Used for Cooking Is Associated with the Risk of Nonfatal Acute Myocardial Infarction in Costa Rica
(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
(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, ...
Coffee, CYP1A2 Genotype, and Risk of Myocardial Infarction
(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
(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 ...
Adipose tissue biomarkers of fatty acid intake
(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 ...
Individual saturated fatty acids and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
(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 ...
Alcohol intake, drinking patterns, and risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
(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 ...
Adipose tissue α-Linolenic acid and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
(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 ...
Nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica: modifiable risk factors, population-attributable risks, and adherence to dietary guidelines
(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 ...
