Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Epidemiological studies have confirmed associations of the Vitamin D receptor (VDR) and Vitamin D-related gene polymorphisms with adiposity and other metabolic disturbances. Those associations may be sex-specific. We evaluated the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationships between metabolic disturbances and haplotypes constructed from single nucleotide polymorphisms of VDR (BsmI:G/A: rs1544410; ApaI:A/C: rs7975232; and TaqI:G/A: rs731236) and MEGALIN (rs3755166:G/A; rs2075252:C/T and rs2228171:C/T) genes, in a sample of African-American adults. From 1,024 African Americans participating in the Healthy Aging in Neighborhoods of Diversity across the Life Span (HANDLS, 2004-2013, Baltimore, MD), our analyses included 539 participants with complete genetic, baseline covariate and metabolic outcome data (at baseline and follow-up). Mean ± SD period of follow-up was 4.64 ± 0.93 y. Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression models were conducted. Among key findings, in men, incident hypertension was inversely related to MEGALIN (GCC), [HR = 0.45, 95% CI: 0.23-0.90, p = 0.024]. Overall, there was a direct, linear dose-response association between VDR (AAG: BAt) and MetS at baseline [OR = 1.60, 95% CI: 1.11-2.31, p = 0.012], while among men, VDR (GAA: bAT) was inversely related to baseline MetS [OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.19-0.81, p = 0.011]. In conclusion, VDR and MEGALIN gene variations can affect prevalent MetS and the incidence rate of hypertension, respectively, among African-American urban adults.
