Racial differences in the response of cardiorespiratory fitness to aerobic exercise training in Caucasian and African American postmenopausal women.
Damon L. Swift,Neil M. Johannsen,Carl J. Lavie,Carl J. Lavie,Conrad P. Earnest,William D. Johnson,Steven N. Blair,Timothy S. Church,Robert L. Newton +8 more
TL;DR: This paper reported that African American women have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease and have been reported to have lower cardiorespiratory fitness compared with Caucasian American (CA) women, however, they did not report higher blood cholesterol levels.

Coronary artery calcium, exercise tolerance, and CHD events in asymptomatic men.
Michael J. LaMonte,Shannon J. FitzGerald,Benjamin D. Levine,Benjamin D. Levine,Timothy S. Church,James B. Kampert,Milton Z. Nichaman,Larry W. Gibbons,Steven N. Blair +8 more
TL;DR: In asymptomatic men with subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, an ET of >/=10METs identifies patients at lower risk for manifest CHD, and the extent of underlying Atherosclerosis did not influence the association.

Prospective study of alcohol consumption and the incidence of the metabolic syndrome in US men.
Mark Stoutenberg,Duck-chul Lee,Xuemei Sui,Steven P. Hooker,Viviana E. Horigian,Tatiana Perrino,Steven N. Blair +6 more
TL;DR: All levels of alcohol consumption provided significant inverse associations with incidence of the metabolic syndrome, and this effect was observed in overweight and/or obese individuals, in those who had pre-existing risk factors for the MetS, and extended across all types of alcoholic beverages consumed.
Measurement Site and the Association Between Visceral and Abdominal Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue With Metabolic Risk in Women
TL;DR: There is not enough evidence to support changing the current research practice of assessing VAT volume or at L4–L5 for the prediction of metabolic risk, and although measurement site has an impact on the predictions of VAT volume, this does not translate into an improved prediction for the MetS.

TL;DR: Hyperglycemia (FPG, ≥ 110 mg/dL), even below the DM threshold (such as with impaired fasting glucose), was associated with a higher risk of fatal, nonfatal, or total stroke events in asymptomatic men.
