One of the national health objectives for 2010 is to reduce prevalence cigarette smoking among adults less than 12% (Objective no. 27—1a).1 To assess progress toward this objective, Centers Disease Control and Prevention analyzed self—reported data from 2004 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) sample adult core questionnaire.

This report summarizes results analyses, which indicate lagging on all...
Ischemic stroke accounts for 70% to 80% of all strokes, but intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhagic strokes have greater fatality. Age-standardized death rates from overall are higher among men than women, little is known about sex differences in subtype mortality by race/ethnicity.We analyzed 1995 1998 national certificate data compare sex-specific age-standardized (per 100 000) ischemic (n=507 256), (n=98 709), (n=27 334) whites, blacks, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians/Pacific...
Background and Purpose— Although cigarette smoking is known to be a risk factor for ischemic stroke, there are few data on the dose-response relationship between stroke in young ethnically diverse population. Methods— We used from Stroke Prevention Young Women Study, population-based case-control study of factors women aged 15 49 years examine stroke. Historical data, including history, was obtained through standardized interviews. Odds ratios (OR) were estimated using logistic regression....
