Four hundred thirty-eight cases were frequency matched to 438 controls by age (5-year interval) residence (rural/urban). Dietary was assessed face-to-face interviews using validated food questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression used estimate odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence interval (CI)...
This nested case–control study aimed at evaluating treatment-related risk factors of relapse tuberculosis under a service program directly observed treatment. Out 12,183 patients with pulmonary who completed treatment within 1 year, 113 relapsed 30 months after commencement therapy. The overall 30-month rate was 0.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.8–1.1%). On matching cases 226 control subjects in conditional logistic model, thrice-weekly increased the comparison daily (odds ratio 3.92, 95%...
Our previous study on bone health among premenopausal women showed that mass consolidation is attained by the early 30s, and small loss of spinal mineral density (SBMD) occurs soon after peak attainment. Recent interest has been shown in potential beneficial effects phytoestrogens health. However, data are lacking, particularly Asian women. This aims to investigate effect soy isoflavones intake maintenance a cohort 132 aged 30-40 years who were followed up for 3 years. Baseline measurements...

Standardized neuropsychological tests memory, executive function,...
Objective. To ascertain the incidence, cumulative prevalence, persistence, and clearance of human papilloma virus (HPV) infection in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), to assess risk factors for acquisition persistence HPV infection. Methods. One hundred forty-four SLE were evaluated at 6-month intervals up 3 years. At each visit, a Pap test, test DNA, clinical assessment performed. Results. The prevalence increased significantly (12.5% baseline 25.0% after years; p = 0.006)....
