OF asthma in the United States and other developed countries over last few decades has been a cause for concern. 1,24][5][6] Many studies have attempted to elucidate relationships between environmental exposures, especially during infancy, risk of allergic sensitization later life. 7,8These are based on theory that an individual's genetic predisposition disease is activated or enhanced by early allergen exposure. 4,7,9The outcome interactions influences exposures may be influenced such as...
OBJECTIVES. Previous research has suggested that early smoking initiation predicts longer duration of smoking, heavier daily consumption, and increased chances nicotine dependence. This report set out to estimate the relationship between cessation age initiation, as well dependence, sex, race, education. METHODS. A sample 1007 young adults was randomly selected from a large health maintenance organization in southeast Michigan. Hazard ratios quitting associated with at were estimated among...
<h3>Background</h3> Epidemiologic studies have reported an association between major depression and smoking. This prospective study examines the role of in smoking progression cessation, first-onset depression. <h3>Methods</h3> Data are from a 5-year longitudinal epidemiologic 1007 young adults. Incidence odds ratios (ORs) based on data. Hazards combined lifetime data estimated Cox proportional hazards models with time-dependent covariates. <h3>Results</h3> Based data, history at baseline...
We assessed exposure to pesticides, farming, well water use, and rural living as risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD) in a population-based case-control study consisting of men women ≥50 years age who had primary medical care at Henry Ford Health System metropolitan Detroit. Enrolled PD patients (n = 144) control subjects 464) were frequency-matched age, race, sex. When adjusted these variables smoking status, there was significant association occupational herbicides (odds ratio [OR],...
Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) improve cardiac function and remodeling prolong survival in patients with heart failure (HF). Blockade of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) an angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist (AT1-ant) may have a similar beneficial effect. In addition to inhibition RAS, ACEi also act by inhibiting kinin destruction, whereas AT1-ant block RAS at level AT1 activate 2 (AT2) receptor. Using model HF induced myocardial infarction (MI) rats, we studied...
OBJECTIVE: The authors’ goal was to construct a short screening scale for DSM-IV posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). METHOD: They used data from the Detroit Area Survey of Trauma, which is representative population sample 2,181 subjects 18–45 years age. Random digit dialing select sample, and computer-assisted telephone interview collect on traumatic experiences PTSD. Presence or absence PTSD assessed with telephone-administered structured that closely followed National Institute Mental...
Article abstract-In a population-based case-control study, we investigated the potential role of occupational exposure to iron, copper, manganese, mercury, zinc, and lead as risk factors for Parkinson9s disease (PD). Concurrently recruited, nondemented patients (n = 144) with idiopathic PD controls 464) consisting men women >or=to50 years age, frequency-matched age (within 5 years), race, sex were enrolled. All had primary medical care at Henry Ford Health System in urban/suburban...
Background. We examine potential sources of the sex differences in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) community. Methods. Data were obtained from a representative sample 2181 persons aged 18–45 years Detroit primary metropolitan statistical area, which is six-county area containing more than four million residents. A random digit dialling method was used to select and computer-assisted telephone interview obtain data. DSM-IV PTSD assessed with respect randomly selected trauma list...
Self-identified race or ethnic group is used to determine normal reference standards in the prediction of pulmonary function. We conducted a study whether genetically determined percentage African ancestry associated with lung function and its use could improve predictions among persons who identified themselves as American.We assessed 777 participants self-identified American Coronary Artery Risk Development Young Adults (CARDIA) evaluated relation between by means linear regression....

<h3>Context</h3> Previous studies showed increased probability of a posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) effect trauma in persons who had experienced prior trauma. The evidence comes chiefly from retrospective data on earlier events, obtained trauma-exposed with and without PTSD. A generally overlooked major limitation is the failure to assess PTSD response <h3>Objective</h3> To estimate risk after traumas during follow-up periods relation respondents' traumatic events <h3>Design</h3> cohort...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To determine whether an inverse dose–response relationship exists between cigarette smoking and PD among ever-smokers ex-smokers. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Smoking alcohol consumption were analyzed in 144 patients 464 control subjects, who frequency matched for sex, race, age (±5 years), a population-based case-control study of men women ≥50 years old the Henry Ford Health System. <b><i>Results:</i></b> With never-smokers as reference category, there was association...
Background. Community surveys have assessed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in relation to traumatic events designated by respondents as the worst they ever experienced. An assessment of PTSD all reported traumas would impose too great a burden on respondents, considerable proportion whom report multiple traumas. The ‘worst event’ method is efficient for identifying persons with PTSD, but may overestimate conditional probability associated entire range PTSD-level In this report, we...
From a random sample of our institution's health maintenance organization (HMO), we recruited 250 white women and 112 black women, aged 55-75, all whom were 10 or more years postmenospause with minimal estrogen exposure free osteoporosis, other metabolic bone disease, medical, surgical, therapeutic situations that may influence loss. Bone mass was measured in the radius, spine, femur by DXA L1 QCT. Serum samples analyzed for parathyroid hormone, calcidiol, calcitriol, osteocalcin, alkaline...
A link between cigarette smoking and suicidal behavior has been reported in clinical epidemiological studies.To examine the association thoughts or attempt a longitudinal study, which proximate status of psychiatric disorders relation to timing behaviors is taken into account.A study young adults interviewed initially 1989, with repeated assessments over 10-year follow-up.The sample was selected from large health maintenance organization representing geographic area, except for extremes...
