Dose-Response Associations Between Diet and Risk of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies.

To provide a systematic and quantitative summary of dietary factors and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk. A systematic review and meta-analysis included prospective cohort studies from 2000 to 2024 reporting relative risks (RRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for RA incidence relating to 32 different dietary exposures. Linear and non-linear dose-response analyses were conducted.

Mediterranean diet associated with lower frailty risk: A large cohort study of 21,643 women admitted to hospitals.

Background: Mediterranean diet is traditionally considered as a healthy dietary pattern, while its association with frailty has not been confirmed. This study investigated associations between Mediterranean diet and risk of frailty among women admitted to hospitals in England from an older-aged women's cohort study.

Methods: A modified Mediterranean diet was evaluated from a validated 217-item food frequency questionnaire.

Relationships of beta-casein genetics with production, fertility, and survival of purebred organic Holstein dairy cows.

The objective of this study was to compare β-casein genotype of purebred certified-organic Holstein cows, and their effect on production, fertility, and survival. Holstein cows (n = 1,982) from 13 certified-organic dairy herds from the western, midwestern, and northeastern United States were genomically tested with CLARIFIDE Plus (Zoetis) for β-casein genotype. Two hundred fourteen cows were A1A1 (11%), 848 cows were A1A2 (43%), and 920 cows were A2A2 (46%).

Genetic evaluation of health costs in US organic Holstein calves and cows.

Minimizing the incidence of disease on organic dairy farms is important for both economic and animal welfare purposes. The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for total disease treatment costs using producer-recorded treatments in organic Holstein dairy calves and cows. Individual cow and calf health data were collected from 16 USDA certified organic farms from across the United States.
