Relative risk estimates suggest that effective implementation of behaviors commonly advocated in preventive medicine should increase life expectancy, although there is little direct evidence.To test the hypothesis choices regarding diet, exercise, and smoking influence expectancy.A total 34 192 California Seventh-Day Adventists (75% those eligible) were enrolled a cohort followed up from 1976 to 1988. A mailed questionnaire provided dietary other exposure information at study baseline....
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect long-term ambient particulate matter (PM) on risk fatal coronary heart disease (CHD). A cohort 3,239 nonsmoking, non-Hispanic white adults followed for 22 years. Monthly concentrations air pollutants were obtained from monitoring stations [PM < 10 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM10), ozone, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide] or airport visibility data 2.5 (PM2.5)] and interpolated ZIP code centroids work residence locations. All participants...
There is a positive association between ambient fine particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (PM2.5) and incidence mortality of lung cancer (LC), but few studies have assessed the relationship PM2.5 LC among never smokers.We risk using Adventist Health Smog Study-2 (AHSMOG-2), cohort health conscious nonsmokers where 81% smoked.A total 80,285 AHSMOG-2 participants were followed for an average 7.5 years with respect to incident identified through linkage U.S. state registries....
Walnuts contain a number of potentially neuroprotective compounds like vitamin E, folate, melatonin, several antioxidative polyphenols and significant amounts n -3 α-linolenic fatty acid. The present study sought to determine the effect walnuts on verbal non-verbal reasoning, memory mood. A total sixty-four college students were randomly assigned two treatment sequences in crossover fashion: walnuts–placebo or placebo–walnuts. Baseline data collected for mood states. Data again after 8 weeks...
Abstract The association between dietary patterns and CVD risk factors among non-Hispanic whites has not been fully studied. Data from 650 white adults who participated in one of two clinical sub-studies (about 2 years after the baseline) Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) were analysed. Four patters identified using a validated 204-item semi-quantitative FFQ completed at enrolment into AHS-2: vegans (8·3 %), lacto-ovo-vegetarians (44·3 pesco-vegetarians (10·6 %) non-vegetarians (NV) (37·3 %)....
Adenocarcinoma (AC) is the most common lung cancer among non-smokers, but few studies have assessed effect of PM2.5 on AC never smokers. The purpose this study was to assess association between ambient and incident in Adventist Health Smog Study-2 (AHSMOG-2), a cohort 80,044 non-smokers (81% smokers) followed for 7.5 years (597,177 person-years) (2002-2011).Incident identified through linkage with U.S. state registries. Ambient levels at subjects' residences were estimated 2000 2001,...
Associations of low-to-moderate consumption red and processed meat with mortality would add to the evidence possible adverse effects these common foods. This study aims investigate association intake mortality. The Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) is a prospective cohort ~96,000 Seventh-day men women recruited in US Canada between 2002 2007. final analytic sample after exclusions was 72,149. Cox proportional hazards regression used hazard ratios (HR) confidence intervals (CI) were obtained....
The purpose of this article was to explore sex- and race-specific variables comorbidities associated with transient global amnesia (TGA) using a nationally representative database. Data were obtained from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample ICD-9 procedure codes. Descriptive survey logistic regression analyses conducted adjusted for influence comorbidities, demographic characteristics, hospitalization-related factors. Patients migraines 5.98 times more likely also have diagnosis TGA compared...
High intakes of total and animal protein are associated with the risk type 2 diabetes (T2D). The influence on insulin resistance, a key precursor T2D, has not been extensively studied.
Gastric cancer (GC) peritoneal carcinomatosis (PC) is associated with a poor prognosis. Although grade, histology, and stage are PC, the cumulative risk of PC when multiple factors present unknown. This study aimed to develop GCPC score based on individual demographic/tumor characteristics.Patient-level data (2004-2014) from California Cancer Registry were reviewed by creating keyword search algorithm identify patients gastric PC. Multivariable logistic regression was used assess...
Abstract Introduction Immunotherapy (IT) and radiotherapy (RT) have improved overall survival in patients with melanoma brain metastasis (MBM). We examined the real‐world impact of IT RT combination timing strategies. Materials Methods From facility‐based National Cancer Database (NCDB) data set, 3008 cases MBM were identified between 2011 2015. Six treatment cohorts identified: stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) + IT, SRS alone, whole (WBRT) WBRT none. Concurrent therapy was defined as given...
Few research studies have focused on the effects of dietary protein metabolic syndrome and its components. Our objective was to determine relationship between type intake animal plant (AP) ratio with
ISEE-81 Abstract: The relationship between ambient air pollution and cardiopulmonary mortality is currently a topic of debate. If there relationship, this could have great implication for policy regulations. Methods: To study the health effect long-term pollution, cohort 6,338 nonsmoking, white California Seventh-day Adventists was followed with respect to from 1977-1998. be included in study, participants must lived within 10 miles their 1977 address previous years. At baseline 1977,...
