The Relationship between Anthropometric Measures and Cardiometabolic Health in Shift Work: Findings from the Atlantic PATH Cohort Study
This article was written to evaluate the relationship between anthropomeric measures and cardiometabolic health in shift workers compared to non-shift workers. They looked at 4155 shift workers and 8258 non-shift workers. There was a slight risk of CVD, obesity, and diabetes among shift workers. It also shown that shift workers were 17% more likely to be obese and 27% more likely to have diabetes.
Rural‐Urban Disparities in Total Physical Activity, Body Composition, and Related Health Indicators: An Atlantic PATH Study
This study was done to compare the sociodemographic/lifestyle characteristics of urban/rural residents in Atlantic Canada. Over 17000 adults were surveyed and multi-linear/logistic regression were done. It was found that rural residents were significantly less likely to be regular or habitual drinkers. Obesity prevalence was much higher out in the Atlantic provinces.
Fruit and vegetable intake and body adiposity among populations in Eastern Canada: the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health Study
This was a cross-sectional study that looked at 26340 individuals (7979 men/18361 women). They looked at data on fruits/vegetable intake, sociodemographic and behavioural factors. The consumption of fruits and vegetables was inversely associated with higher body fat in these populations.
Differences in adiposity and diet quality among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease in Eastern Canada
This study looked at the relationship between diet quality and body composition in participants with IBD. There was a positive correlation between adiposity and those who ate processed grains, excess meats; there was a negative correlation between those who consumed lots of fruits/vegetables, whole grains. There was distinct difference in adiposity and diet quality were observed in individuals
Association between Diet Quality and Adiposity in the Atlantic PATH Cohort
This research was done to assess the association between diet quality and adiposity. They found that the diet quality was very different among provinces, an area of concern was people who consumed only 1-2 servings of fruits/vegetables today. Adiposity was positively associated with consumption of excess meat, snack foods, sweetners, diet soft drinks, and fast food. It was shown that people who ate whole grains and green tea had lower levels of adiposity.
Cohort Profile: The Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (Atlantic PATH) Study
The PATH study wants to 1) develop a databank containing health/health-related measures 2) encourage/facilitate use of the databank . The idea is to provide information about risk factors for disease and then hopefully prevent it.
Relationship Between Adiponectin and apoB in Individuals With Diabetes in the Atlantic PATH Cohort
They waned to see if there was a relationship between biomarkers of apidose issue and cardiovasular comorbidities risk in BMI. They 480 people in their study, half of which were diabetic and half were not. It was found that plasma adiponectin levels were lower in diabetic patients than those who are not. Plasma apoB levels were similar between participants with and without diabetes.
Associations of Coffee, Diet Drinks, and Non-Nutritive Sweetener Use with Depression among Populations in Eastern Canada

This study wanted to determine if there was an association with atopic dermatitis and hypertension/heart attack/stroke/type II diabetes. It was found in a cross-sectional study that AD is not really a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
