Recent studies suggest that micronutrients, especially folate, calcium, iron, and antioxidant vitamins, affect the risk of colorectal neoplasia. The objective this case-control study was to examine association between these micronutrients adenomas. based on 236 cases with adenomatous polyps or cancer 409 controls, all colonoscopy patients at University North Carolina Hospitals July 1988 March 1991. After colonoscopy, subjects were interviewed using a semi-quantitative food frequency...
Abstract The association of breast cancer with dietary patterns such as a western diet has not been studied in Asian women. We examined this among Shanghai Breast Cancer Study participants. Cases were ages 25 to 64 years, diagnosed 08/1996-03/1998, and identified through rapid case ascertainment system supplemented by the Registry. Controls, selected from general population urban Shanghai, frequency matched cases 5-year age group. Participants provided information on diet, lifestyle,...

Objectives. This study examined whether area-level characteristics are associated with individual smoking behavior among women. Methods. Analyses included 648 women enrolled as control patients in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (1993–1996). Smoking and covariate information was obtained from interviews. Area-level census block-group education level, poverty, unemployment, car–home ownership, crowding, and, for 431 women, city-level crime rates. Results. In multivariate logistic regression...
Abstract Ecological studies implicate a “Western” diet in prostate cancer development, but whether dietary patterns measured individuals are associated with risk has not been studied previously. We examined this issue using prospective data from the nationally representative United States Health Examination Epidemiological Follow-up Study. Among 3,779 men followed 1982–84 to 1992, 136 incident cases were identified. Using principal component analysis on responses 105-item questionnaire,...
Few studies have examined vitamin D insufficiency in African American men although they are at very high risk. We the prevalence and correlates of among Philadelphia. Participants this cross-sectional analysis were 194 Philadelphia region who enrolled a risk assessment program for prostate cancer from 10/96–10/07. All participants completed diet health history questionnaires provided plasma samples, which assessed 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) concentrations. used linear regression models to...
Chinese immigrants experience increased risk for weight gain and chronic disease after US migration. Whether psychosocial stress affects their eating behavior is unknown.

We examined associations of dietary patterns with colon cancer risk in African Americans and Whites from a case-control study North Carolina. Incident cases, 40 to 80 yr (n = 636), matched controls 1,042) were interviewed person elicit information on potential factors. A validated food frequency questionnaire adapted include regional foods captured diet over the year prior diagnosis (cases) or interview date (controls). Three meaningful intake identified both Americans: “Western-Southern,”...
Hypovitaminosis D may be associated with diabetes, hypertension and CHD. However, because studies examining the associations of all three chronic conditions circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin (25(OH)D) 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin (1,25(OH) 2 D) are limited, we examined these in US Prostate, Lung, Colorectal Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial ( n 2465). Caucasian PLCO participants selected as controls previous nested case–control 25(OH)D 1,25(OH) were included this analysis. Diabetes, CHD prevalence,...
