The association between specific job characteristics and subsequent cardiovascular disease was tested using a large random sample of the male working Swedish population. prospective development coronary heart (CHD) symptoms signs analyzed multivariate logistic regression technique. Additionally, case-controlled study used to analyze all cardiovascular-cerebrovascular (CHD-CVD) deaths during six-year follow-up. indicator CHD validated in (standardized mortality ratio 5.0; p less than or equal...
Previous studies have suggested an association between exposure to 50–60 Hz magnetic fields (EMF) and childhood leukaemia. We conducted a pooled analysis based on individual records from nine studies, including the most recent ones. Studies with 24/48-hour field measurements or calculated were included. specified which data analyses we planned do how them before commenced work. The use of allowed us same definitions, large numbers subjects enabled more precise estimation risks at high...
Background. Alzheimer's disease has been thought to have familial and sporadic forms, several genetic defects identified that chiefly explain early-onset cases. In this study, our purpose was detect all cases of dementia in an established twin registry estimate total extent contribution liability disease. Methods. At the first stage, members were screened for dementia, using in-person or telephone mental status testing. second those who positively their partners referred clinical work-ups,...
We aimed to investigate the association of number completed races and finishing time with risk arrhythmias among participants Vasaloppet, a 90 km cross-country skiing event. All without cardiovascular disease who Vasaloppet during 1989–98 were followed through national registries until December 2005. Primary outcome was hospitalization for any arrhythmia secondary outcomes atrial fibrillation/flutter (AF), bradyarrhythmias, other supraventricular tachycardias (SVT), ventricular...
Abstract Our current Knowledge of risk factors for Alzheimer's disease is limited and primarily addresses early‐onset disease. This study aimed to determine the late‐onset using a case‐control approach. Ninetyeight case 216 controls were gathered from an ongoing population survey on aging dementia in Stockholm (the Kungsholmen Project). We found high relative (3.2;95% confidence interval, 1‐8‐5.7) with presence at least one first‐degree affected by dementia. Among all other factors, alcohol...
Radiofrequency exposure from mobile phones is concentrated to the tissue closest handset, which includes auditory nerve. If this type of increases tumor risk, acoustic neuroma would be a potential concern.In population-based case-control study we identified all cases age 20 69 years diagnosed with during 1999 2002 in certain parts Sweden. Controls were randomly selected base, stratified on age, sex, and residential area. Detailed information about phone use other environmental exposures was...

Handheld mobile phones were introduced in Sweden during the late 1980s. The purpose of this population-based, case-control study was to test hypothesis that long-term phone use increases risk brain tumors. authors identified all cases aged 20–69 years who diagnosed with glioma or meningioma 2000–2002 certain parts Sweden. Randomly selected controls stratified on age, gender, and residential area. Detailed information about collected from 371 (74%) 273 (85%) 674 (71%) controls. For regular...
Familial clustering has been observed for cancers that occur at specific sites. Most findings, which leave little doubt about the involvement of a heritable (i.e., genetic) component in development some cancers, are based on data from "cancer-prone" families or interviews with subjects who have cancer. The study twins should be value cancer epidemiology because either genetically identical share half their segregating genes.We linked Swedish Twin Registry to Cancer Registry, thereby...

In an international population-based case-control study carried out in 8 centres 6 countries, we investigated the role of specific medical conditions aetiology brain tumours adults. Recruited were 1,178 glioma and 331 meningioma cases 2,493 age- gender-matched population controls. Only occurring at least 2 years before tumour diagnosis considered. Relative risks (RRs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated using a conditional logistic regression model. Heterogeneity between was tested. No...
There is public concern that use of mobile phones could increase the risk brain tumours. If such an effect exists, acoustic neuroma would be particular because proximity nerve to handset. We conducted, a shared protocol, six population-based case-control studies in four Nordic countries and UK assess relation phone use. Data were collected by personal interview from 678 cases 3553 controls. The regular pooled data set was not raised (odds ratio (OR) = 0.9, 95% confidence interval (CI):...
The genetic impact on the causation of osteoporotic fractures is unclear. A large twin study ideally suited to determine liability categories fracture at various ages.A cohort all 33 432 Swedish twins born from 1896 1944 was used evaluate occurrence in elderly. Inpatient Registry and computer-assisted telephone interviews enabled us identify 6021 with any fracture, 3599 an 1055 a hip after age 50 years.Genetic variation differed considerably by type age. Less than 20% overall age-adjusted...
We conducted a population-based case-control study of inflammatory bowel disease and dietary habits in Stockholm during 1984–1987. obtained retrospective information about food intake 5 years previously by postal questionnaire for 152 cases with Crohn's disease, 145 ulcerative colitis, 305 controls. The relative risk was increased subjects who had high (55 gm or more per day) sucrose (relative = 2.6, 95% confidence interval 1.4–5.0) decreased (15 fiber 0.5, interval=0.3–0.9). most striking...
