Cousin,Ewerton; Schmidt,Maria Inês; Stein,Caroline; Aquino,Érika Carvalho de; Gouvea,Ellen de Cassia Dutra Pozzetti; Malta,Deborah CarvalhoAbstract INTRODUCTION: The goal of reducing the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) requires close monitoring. Our objective is to characterize the decline of premature NCD mortality in Brazil based on Global Burden of Diseases (GBD) Study 2019 estimates. METHODS: We used GBD 2019 data to estimate death rates of the four main NCDs - cardiovascular diseases, neoplasms, diabetes, and chronic respiratory di...

Luft,Vivian C.; Pereira,Mark; Pankow,James S.; Ballantyne,Christie; Couper,David; Heiss,Gerardo; Duncan,Bruce B.Background: Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) has been described as a link between impaired glucose uptake in adipocytes and systemic insulin sensitivity. Objective: To determine whether RBP4 fasting levels predict the development of type 2 diabetes. Methods: Using a case-cohort design, we followed 543 middle-aged individuals who developed diabetes and 537 who did not over ~9 years within the population-based At...
