Alcohol is a known cause of cirrhosis, but it unclear if the associated risk varies by whether alcohol drunk with meals, or frequency type consumed. Here we aim to investigate associations between consumption daily consumption, and liver cirrhosis.
To help determine whether midlife obesity is a cause of dementia and low body mass index (BMI), caloric intake, physical inactivity are causes or merely consequences the gradual onset by recording these factors early in large 20-year prospective study relating them to detection rates separately during follow-up periods <5, 5 9, 10 14, 15+ years.
Some investigators have reported an excess risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE) associated with depression and use antidepressant drugs. We explored these associations in a large prospective study UK women.
Excess weight is associated with poor health and increased health-care costs. However, a detailed understanding of the effects excess on total hospital costs for different conditions needed.
The role of diet in breast cancer aetiology is unclear; recent studies have suggested associations may differ by estrogen receptor status.
Abstract BACKGROUND Alcohol intake may be associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's disease (PD), but findings from previous studies have been inconclusive. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between alcohol and PD in Million Women Study, large, prospective study women UK. METHODS Between 1996 2001, approximately 1.3 million UK, mean age 56 (standard deviation, 5) years, were recruited into Study. Information on intake, lifestyle factors, medical history was collected at recruitment by...
Abstract Background Alcohol consumption has been associated with increased risks of certain site-specific cancers and decreased some other cancers. There is, however, little reliable evidence as to whether the alcohol-associated for specific are modified by smoking, body mass index (BMI) menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) use. Methods In prospective UK Million Women Study, 1,233,177 postmenopausal women without prior cancer, mean age 56 (SD 5) years, reported their alcohol in median year 1998...
Background Physical activity (PA) has many health benefits, but motherhood is often associated with reduced PA. Considering that ages and number of children may be maternal PA, PA patterns change as transition to formal schooling, we aimed investigate the associations between device-measured Methods Cross-sectional analyses were conducted using data from 848 mothers Southampton Women’s Survey at two different timepoints. Two-level random intercept linear models used (≤4y(ears) (“younger”),...
Introduction PM levels in Sydney are low compared with most cities where time series studies of the acute effects air pollution have been conducted. The 50th and 90th percentiles daily average PM10 (particulate matter £ 10mm) 16 26 mg/m3 respectively, 8 14 for PM2.5 2.5mm). Time early 1990's demonstrated associations between particles (measured by light scatter using integrating nephelometers), nitrogen dioxide ozone mortality hospital admissions. Light (BSP) is considered to be a proxy...
Despite the known benefits of physical activity (PA) to and mental health, many people fail achieve recommended PA levels. Parents are less active than non-parent contemporaries constitute a large potential intervention population. However, little is about breadth scope parental research. This scoping review therefore aimed provide an overview current evidence base on PA. Four databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO Scopus) were systematically searched identify peer-reviewed articles focusing...

This paper describes a study funded in late 1999 by the Strategic Partnerships with Industry-Research and Training (SPIRT) scheme which examined short-term health effects of air pollution four Australian cities–Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth Sydney–for period 1996–1999.

Brisbane region acute impacts range pollutants-fine particles (as measured nephelometery), PM10, nitrogen...
Introduction There are no reported studies on the effects of urban ambient air pollution emergency department presentations from Australia. We therefore determined associations between pollutants (particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ozone) for cardiovascular disease respiratory in those aged sixty-five years above using time series methods. The study was conducted Sydney, Methods period five-year 1997 2001 we used routinely collected data both exposures outcomes. obtained presentation...
