The International Agency for Research on Cancer convened a workshop the relationship between body fatness and cancer, from which an IARC handbook topic will appear. An executive summary of evidence is presented.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has updated its 2002 guidelines screening breast cancer, drawing data from studies completed in the past 15 years.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified outdoor air pollution and the particulate matter (PM) in as carcinogenic to humans, based sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity humans experimental animals strong support by mechanistic studies.The data with important contributions evaluation are reviewed, highlighting particular relevance China, implications respect China discussed.The levels Chinese cities among highest observed world today frequently exceed healthbased...
Reports of leukemia and brain cancer among men in electrical occupations suggest a small increase risk, but most previous studies have failed to classify magnetic field exposure accurately or consider potential confounders. The authors conducted an historical cohort mortality study 138,905 employed at five large electric power companies the United States between 1950 1986 with least 6 months work experience. Exposure was estimated by linking individual histories data from 2,842 workshift...
Recent research in medicine and public health highlights differences related to race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, gender. These inequalities, often labeled “disparities,” are pervasive pertain the major causes of morbidity, mortality, lost life years. Often ignored discussions disparities is complex role work, including not only occupational exposures working conditions, but also benefits associated with effects work on families communities, policies that determine where how people...
A population-based case-control study investigated the association between maternal exposure to air pollutants, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur and particulate matter <10 μm in aerodynamic diameter during weeks 3–8 of pregnancy risk selected cardiac birth defects oral clefts livebirths fetal deaths 1997 2000 seven Texas counties. Controls were frequency matched cases on year birth, vital status, county residence at delivery. Stationary monitoring data used estimate pollution...
Although short-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with acute, reversible lung function decrements, the impact of long-term not well established.To evaluate association between ozone (O(3)), particulate matter less than 10 mum in diameter (PM(10)), and nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) growth Mexico City schoolchildren.A dynamic cohort 3,170 children aged 8 years at baseline was followed from April 23, 1996, through May 19, 1999. The attended 39 randomly selected elementary schools...
Abstract Background Human exposures to inorganic arsenic (iAs) have been linked an increased risk of diabetes mellitus. Recent laboratory studies showed that methylated trivalent metabolites iAs may play key roles in the diabetogenic effects iAs. Our study examined associations between chronic exposure drinking water, metabolism iAs, and prevalence arsenicosis-endemic areas Mexico. Methods We used fasting blood glucose (FBG), plasma insulin (FPI), oral tolerance test (OGTT), glycated...
War has a profound emotional impact on military personnel and their families, but little is known about how deployment-related stress impacts the occurrence of child maltreatment in families. This time-series analysis Texas data from 2000 to 2003 examined changes nonmilitary families over time recent deployment increases. The rate substantiated was twice as high period after October 2002 (the 1-year anniversary September 11th attacks) compared with prior that date (rate ratio = 2.15, 95%...
++Epidemiologic studies have focused attention on the health effects of fine particulate air pollutants <2.5 microm in diameter (PM2.5). To further characterize potential particles, we investigated relationship pollution to mortality Mexico City during 1993-1995. The concentration PM2.5 was measured a 24-hr integrated basis; concentrations NO2 and ozone were hourly reduced means. Daily determined from death registration records, Poisson regression used model daily counts as function...
