Body-mass index, blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular mortality in Cuba: prospective study of 146,556 participants by Rojas, NA, Lacey, B, Soni, M, Carter, J, Burrett, J, Taylor, H, Sherliker, P, Ross, S, Massa, M, Islam, N, Emberson, J, Peto, R, Lewington, S

“…Participants were interviewed, measured (height, weight and blood pressure) and followed up by electronic linkage to national death registries until Jan 1, 2017; in 2006-08, 24,345 participants were resurveyed. After excluding all with missing data, cardiovascular disease at recruitment, and those who died in the first 5 years, Cox regression (adjusted for age, sex, education, smoking, alcohol and, where appropriate, BMI) was used to relate cardiovascular mortality rate ratios (RRs) at ages 35-79 years to SBP, diabetes and BMI; RR were corrected for regression dilution to give associations with long-term average (ie, ‘usual’) levels of SBP and BMI. …”

What’s the matter with |U| and |I|? by Heglyn Pimenta

“…In Element-Theory and similar approaches to the internal structure of segments, it is often assumed that the aperture element |A| is more sonorous and different in kind from the coloring elements |I| and |U| (Hulst 2015; Pöchtrager 2006; Schane 1984), while the latter are usually considered to be equally sonorous and display symmetrical behavior. …”
