• The metabolic syndrome and total and cardiovascular disease mortality in middle-aged men. (2002, neutral): “Alcohol consumption, median (interquartile range), g/wk 36 (7-94) 39 (4-133) 55 (6-150)‡ 59 (10-167)‡”
• The metabolic syndrome. (2008, background): “Thus, it should not be surprising that physical activity has been shown to predict incidence of MetS in a dose-dependent manner; lower levels of activity increased incidence of MetS and higher levels of physical activity protected against the development of MetS (551, 552).”
• Physical activity in the prevention of type 2 diabetes: the Finnish diabetes prevention study. (2005, background): “Moderate-to-vigorous LTPA may be more beneficial than low-intensity LTPA with respect to metabolic and chronic disease end points (2,7,12,21).”
