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 ...

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, ...

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 relation between trans fatty acid levels and increased risk of myocardial infarction does not hold at lower levels of trans fatty acids in the costa rican food supply 

Colón Ramos, Uriyoán; Baylin, Ana; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2006)
Data on the effects of recent industrial modifications that reduced the trans fatty acid (TFA) content in food supplies are scarce. In this study, incident cases (n = 1797) of a first nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) ...

Adipose tissue arachidonic acid and the metabolic syndrome in Costa Rican adults 

Williams, Erick S.; Baylin, Ana; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)
Arachidonic acid, a precursor to a series of inflammatory mediators, may contribute to the development of insulin resistance. We examined the association between adipose tissue arachidonic acid and the metabolic syndrome ...
Thumbnail

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 ...

α-Linolenic acid, Δ6-desaturase gene polymorphism, and the risk of nonfatal myocardial infarction 

Baylin, Ana; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Kraft, Peter; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)
Background:Δ6-Desaturase (FADS2) is the rate-limiting step in the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthetic pathway. Objective: The aim was to test whether the common deletion [T/-] in the promoter of FADS2 affects ...
Thumbnail

Does genetic variation in the Δ6-desaturase promoter modify the association between α-linolenic acid and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome? 

Truong, Hong; DiBello, Julia R.; Ruiz Narváez, Edward A.; Kraft, Peter; Campos Núñez, Hannia; Baylin, Ana (2009)
Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with protection against components of the metabolic syndrome, but the role of α-linolenic acid (ALA), the metabolic precursor of EPA and ...
Thumbnail

Conjugated linoleic acid in adipose tissue and risk of myocardial infarction 

Smit, Liesbeth A.; Baylin, Ana; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2010)
Despite the high saturated fat content of dairy products, no clear association between dairy product intake and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) has been observed. Dairy products are the main source of conjugated linoleic ...
Thumbnail

Dietary patterns and risk of nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rican adults 

Martínez Ortiz, José Antonio; Fung, T. T.; Baylin, Ana; Hu, F. B.; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2006)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become an important public health problem in transition countries in Latin America (Medina and Kaempffer, 2000; Cubillos-Garzón et al., 2004; Ventura and Mehra, 2004; World HealthOrganization, ...
