Association between soft drinks intake and low glomerular filtration rate in Mexican adults: Results from RenMex.
Clin Nutr
April 2024
Nutrition and Health Research Center, National Institute of Public Health, Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico. Electronic address:
Background & Aims: To evaluate the association between soft drinks (SDs) consumption and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a Mexican adult population.
Methods: We used data from the RenMex consortium (n = 2095) that included the Mexican Teachers Cohort Study (34-65 years), the Health Workers Cohort Study (18-90 years), and the Comitán Study (19-91 years). In this cross-sectional study, we assessed SDs consumption (cola and flavored soda) using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and estimated eGFR using the CKD Epidemiology Collaboration equation.
Prenatal organochlorine pollutant exposure and risk of schizophrenia in a national birth cohort.
Neurotoxicology

Non-genetic prenatal exposures have been associated with schizophrenia risk. However, the role of prenatal exposure to environmental neurotoxicants in offspring schizophrenia risk has been studied in only limited instances. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and the pesticide metabolite p,p'-dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethylene (DDE) have been linked to neurodevelopmental outcomes, including impairments implicated in schizophrenia.

Diabetes Care
November 2022
Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, New York, NY.
Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the link between urinary zinc levels and the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among adults from regions with high T2DM rates (AZ, OK, ND, SD).
- The research included over 3,000 participants from two major studies, tracking them for several years to see how urinary zinc levels correlated with new diabetes diagnoses and prediabetes.
- Results showed that higher urinary zinc levels were associated with a greater risk of developing T2DM and were also linked to prediabetes, indicating that zinc metabolism may play a significant role in diabetes development.
Concurrent external validation of bloodstream infection probability models.
Clin Microbiol Infect
January 2023
Department of Medicine, University of Ottawa, Canada; Department of Epidemiology & Community Medicine, University of Ottawa, Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, ICES (formerly Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences), Canada. Electronic address:
Objective: Accurately estimating the likelihood of bloodstream infection (BSI) can help clinicians make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Many multivariate models predicting BSI probability have been published. This study measured the performance of BSI probability models within the same patient sample.

Antioxid Redox Signal
November 2022
Department of Environmental Health Sciences, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA.
Increasing evidence suggests that high selenium (Se) exposure is associated with adverse health effects. However, limited evidence exists on the association of Se exposure with cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in communities affected by high naturally occurring Se in environmental media. We evaluated the prospective association between urinary Se levels and CVD incidence and mortality for 2727 American Indian adults who participated in the Strong Heart Study, with urinary Se levels measured at baseline (1989-1991) and CVD outcomes ascertained through 2017.
