They found that sugar-sweetened beverages were associated with 9.8% of new type 2 diabetes cases and 3.1% of new cardiovascular disease cases in 2020.”

“Participants with the highest serum PBDE levels were more than four times more likely to die of cancer than those with the lowest levels, even after considering age, sex, race, ethnicity, lifestyle, and other factors that influence cancer death risk.”

“The increased risk was consistent regardless of the participants' geographical location, sex, baseline physical activity, or age. These findings suggest that sudden physical exertion and emotional upset increase the risk of acute MI.”

“The authors of the study categorized the participants according to their level of risk based on the participants' age, sex, medical history, and biochemical indicators. Then the participants underwent submaximal exercise testing using a stationary exercise bicycle.”

“However, fewer than 6 percent of those on the high-dose vitamin D exhibited internalizing behaviors, even after considering other factors that influence behavior, such as sex, maternal depression, and living in a single-parent household.”

“The researchers used statistical methods to examine links between sleep patterns, shift schedules, and infection risk while accounting for age, sex, and whether the nurses had children at home. Nurses with greater sleep debt faced a higher risk of multiple infections.”

“They used statistical techniques to explore how different types of diets—such as low-calorie or low-nutrient diets—were associated with mood and whether these connections differed based on a person's biological sex or body mass index.”
