Cohort studies have consistently shown underground miners exposed to high levels of radon be at excess risk lung cancer, and extrapolations based on those results indicate that residential may responsible for nearly 10-15% all cancer deaths per year in the United States. However, case-control provided ambiguous evidence risks. Regardless, alpha-particle emissions from short-lived radioactive decay products can damage cellular DNA. The possibility a demonstrated carcinogen present large...
The epidemiology of fibromyalgia is poorly defined. incidence has not been determined using a large population base. Previous studies based on prevalence data demonstrated that females are 7 times more likely to have than males and the peak age for during childbearing years.We calculated rate in large, stable strength association between comorbid conditions.We conducted retrospective cohort study health insurance claims database (62,000 nationwide enrollees per year). Claims from 1997 2002...
A population-based insurance claims database was used to examine cellulitis incidence, anatomical sites of infection, complicating diagnoses, source health service, and recurrence rates. Insurance claim files were searched for ICD-9-CM codes 681.0-682.9. Complications including erysipelas, lymphadenitis, lymphangitis, necrotizing fasciitis also identified by codes. We found a incidence rate 24.6/1000 person-years, with higher among males individuals aged 45-64 years. The most common site...

OBJECTIVES To investigate whether occupational exposures to formaldehyde and wood dust increase the risk of nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC). METHODS A multicentred, population based case-control study was carried out at five registries in United States participating National Cancer Institute's SEER program. Cases (n=196) with a newly diagnosed NPC between 1987 1993, controls (n=244) selected over same period from general through random digit dialing participated structured telephone interviews...
Background: Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common entity. We hypothesized that obesity, because of biomechanical and systemic risk factors, increases the risks rotator tendinitis, tears, related surgical procedures. Methods: A frequency-matched case-control study was conducted. Three hundred eleven patients who were fifty-three to seventy-seven years old underwent repair, arthroscopy, and/or other repair shoulder in large hospital from 1992 2000 included study. These procedures used as...
Objective. Streptococcus pneumoniae is one of the most clinically significant pathogens with emerging antibiotic resistance. We performed a surveillance study in isolated rural populations healthy children to estimate prevalence pneumococcal resistance and contrast factors that predict carriage those specifically resistant carriage. Methods. The was conducted 1998 2 communities Utah. Families were recruited directly for participation through community canvassing. Surveillance nasopharyngeal...

Am J Epidemiol 1983; 117: 128–39. Women resident in six counties Washington Utah for whom diagnoses cancer were made during 1975–1979 interviewed concerning their menstrual, medical histories. For comparison, interviews also obtained from a random sample women living same counties. Logistic regression methods...
Previous studies have used population data to demonstrate an inverse association between suicide rates and religious commitment. This report examines Utah for young men aged 15-34 years, stratified by their membership in commitment the Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints (LDS), predominant religion Utah. All state death records males from 1991 1995 were obtained linked LDS church deceased obtain a measure that is not self-reported. Religious members was determined age-appropriate...
Between 1950 and 1969, cancer mortality in white Utah residents was 22 percent less than that the entire United States population. The religion of 72 state (Mormon) proscribes use tobacco alcohol. We therefore analyzed 10,641 cases identified from 1966 to 1970 compared incidence found Mormons, non-Mormons, a national survey. Comparison Mormons with non-Mormons showed had lower all cancers associated cigarette smoking (p< 0.00001). Mormon females low breast (p = 0.008), uterine cervix...
Abstract Female residents of six counties in Washington and Utah whom a diagnosis ovarian cancer was made during 1975–79 were interviewed concerning prior use oral contraceptives. Interviews with random sample women drawn from these same obtained for comparison. A smaller proportion epithelial tumors had taken contraceptives than controls: the estimated risk uses relative to that non‐users 0.57 ( p = 0.04). The magnitude decreased depended on duration over which been taken, as negative...
Female residents of six counties in Washington and Utah whom ovarian cancer was diagnosed during 1975-79 were interviewed concerning prior use noncontraceptive estrogens. Interviews with a random sample women drawn from these obtained for comparison. Taken as whole, epithelial tumors reported estrogen 1 year or more somewhat often than did controls [relative risk (RR) = 1.3, 95% confidence interval (CL) 0.9-1.8]. The proportion who had used estrogens varied according to the histology their...
To test the hypothesis that there is a positive association between chronic alcoholism and carcinoma of pancreas, mortality experience 1382 alcoholics was studied. Analysis limited to comparison observed expected proportional different causes death in 894 whites who were known have died. For 3 deaths 5.2 expected. The observed/expected ratios for other death, including sites cancer, accordance with prior studies.
Continuing concern over the possible carcinogenic effects of low-level radiation prompted us to study population Utah because its exposure fallout from 26 nuclear tests between 1951 and 1958. Certain rural counties (high-fallout counties) received most during that period. We reviewed all deaths childhood (under 15 years age) cancers occurring in entire state 1944 1975 assigned them a cohort either high or low exposure, depending on whether they were under For reasons unknown, leukemia...

High-temperature cooking of foods produces a variety mutagenic substances. Because the association such substances with carcinogenesis, authors used case-control study colon cancer conducted in Utah between 1977 and 1979 246 cases 484 controls to test hypothesis that persons would report more frequent use fried broiled meats. Intake food was measured by frequency questionnaire which focused on five years before interview. For men, odds ratios for highest level were 1.2 (90% confidence...
