Obesity is associated with early hip fracture risk in postmenopausal women: a 25-year follow-up The study population consisted of the ongoing Kuopio Osteoporosis Risk Factor and Prevention (OSTPRE) study cohort. This population-based long-term follow-up study includes all the 14,220 Caucasian women born between 1932 and 1941 who lived in the Kuopio Province, Eastern Finland in April 1989. A postal questionnaire was mailed to 14,120 of these women at baseline in 1989 with 13,100 (92.8%) responding. The follow-up questionnaires were mailed at 5-year intervals (1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2014) to women who responded to the baseline enquiry and were alive at the time. The response rate varied between 93% and 80% throughout the study. Follow-up and baseline age The final study sample (n = 12,715) consisted of women with available height and weight information. Bone mineral density measurements Baseline responders were asked about their willingness to participate in bone densitometry (DXA) and clinical measurement protocols.

Krebs Cycle - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics 5.2.2 Tricarboxylic acid cycle The TCA5 cycle provides a common pathway for the ultimate catabolism of carbohydrates and fats, which, through its oxidative aerobic nature, generates ATP mainly6 via oxidative phosphorylation for anabolic processes. The fuel for the TCA is acetyl-CoA, a molecule which plays a pivotal role in sugar and fat metabolism. In fat catabolism, acetyl-CoA is formed during the β-oxidation of fats (Section 5.2.3) when fatty acids are fragmented into their acetyl-CoA components. In carbohydrate metabolism, acetyl-CoA is linked to glycolysis via the conversion of pyruvate to the thioester acetyl-CoA by incorporation of CoA (Figure 5.5). The conversion is catalysed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in a series of steps during which pyruvate is decarboxylated with the release of CO2 and subsequently dehydrogenated with the reduction of NAD+ Figure 5.5. The TCA cycle is initiated with the condensation of the acetyl-CoA with oxaloacetate to form citrate.

Effect of salt substitution on community-wide blood pressure and hypertension incidence | Nature Medicine The study protocol and methods have been described previously29, and a summary is provided below. The CONSORT statement for randomized cluster trials30 and recent literature on reporting results of stepped-wedge cluster trials31,32 were utilized. Study design A stepped-wedge, cluster, randomized controlled trial was conducted, in which the six participating villages (clusters) crossed over from the control to the intervention phase during the study33. Study setting Tumbes, a coastal region in northern Peru, bordering Ecuador, was the setting selected for the present study because hypertension prevalence and incidence rates are above the national average34,35. Participants and recruitment Potentially eligible subjects were identified from the most updated census in the area (2010, updated in 2014). Participant recruitment, as well as the initial assessment, was performed during the first 4 months of the study (April to July 2014). Randomization and blinding Intervention Statistical methods
