Projections for the period 1995–2029 suggest that number of men dying from mesothelioma in Western Europe each year will almost double over next 20 years, 5000 1998 to about 9000 around 2018, and then decline, with a total quarter million deaths 35 years. The highest risk be suffered by born 1945–50, whom 1 150 die mesothelioma. Asbestos use remained high until 1980, substantial quantities are still used several European countries. These projections based on fit simple age birth cohort model...
Abstract A case‐control study was conducted in high‐ and low‐risk areas of Italy to evaluate reasons for the striking geographic variation gastric cancer (GC) mortality within country. Personal interviews with 1,016 histologically confirmed GC cases 1,159 population controls similar age sex revealed that patients were more often lower social class resident rural frequently reported a familial history (but not other) cancer. After adjusting these effects, differences found several dietary...
Abstract A case‐control study involving interviews with 1,016 gastric cancer (GC) patients and 1,159 population‐based controls in high‐ low‐risk areas was conducted to evaluate dietary factors their contribution the marked geographic variation mortality from this within Italy. Risks of GC were found vary significantly estimated nutrient in‐take. Risk rose increasing consumption nitrites protein, decreased proportion intake ascorbic acid, beta‐carotene, alpha‐tocopherol, vegetable fat. The...
Abstract Dietary factors in the aetiology of stomach cancer were investigated using data from a case‐control study conducted Northern Italy on 206 histologically confirmed carcinomas and 474 control subjects hospital for acute, non‐digestive conditions, unrelated to any potential risk giistric cancer. histories concerned frequency consumption per week 29 selected food Items (including ttie major sources starches, proteins, fats, fibres, vitamins A C, nitrates nitrites Italian diet)...
Background: The percentages of breast cancer cases in a given population attributable to specific risk factors (i.e., the population-attributable risks) can be calculated; determination such risks associated with potentially modifiable factors, as diet (e.g., levels consumption fruits, vegetables, vitamins, etc.), alcohol consumption, exercise, and body weight, are necessary focus prevention strategies. Methods: With use data from case-control study conducted Italy June 1991 through April...
Abstract The relation between dietary factors and the risk of colo‐rectal cancer was investigated in a case‐control study conducted Northern Italy on 339 cases colon cancer, 236 rectal 778 controls admitted to hospital for acute, non‐neoplastic or digestive disorders. Consistent positive associations were observed with more frequent consumption starchy foods (pasta rice) (relative risk, RR = 3.0 I.S rectum (or highest vs. lowest fertile) beef/veal meats (RR 2.1 colon, rectum), whereas...
The proportion of colorectal cancer attributed to dietary habits is high, but several inconsistencies remain, especially with respect the influence some food groups. To further elucidate role habits, 1,225 subjects colon, 728 rectum and 4,154 controls, hospitalized acute non-neoplastic diseases, were interviewed between 1992 1996 in 6 different Italian areas. validated food-frequency questionnaire included 79 questions on items recipes, categorised into 16 After allowance for non-dietary...
To determine whether there is a short term increase in the risk of breast cancer after full birth data from two hospital based, case-control studies Italy were pooled. Analysis was restricted to women aged under 50 with or more children (573 and 570 controls). A relative for 2.66 seen who had given during three years preceding interview compared whose last occurred 10 before, adjustment age, age at first birth, parity. The slowly decreased before. Multivariate analyses confirmed protective...
Abstract Although debate on breast cancer and diet has been concentrated nutrients, assessment of the role specific foods food groups variety intake retains a considerable importance. To further elucidate dietary habits, 2,569 women with incident (median age 55 years) 2,588 control 56 years), hospitalised acute non‐neoplastic diseases, were interviewed between 1991 1994 in 6 different Italian areas. The validated frequency questionnaire included 79 items recipes, which grouped into 18 (5 for...
The relationship between various micronutrients and colorectal cancer risk was investigated using data from a case-control study conducted January 1992 June 1996 in Italy. Cases were 1,953 incident, histologically confirmed cancers (1,225 of the colon 728 rectum), admitted to major teaching general hospitals areas, 4,154 controls with no history cancer, same catchment areas for acute, non-neoplastic diseases unrelated digestive tract requiring long-term modifications diet. Dietary habits...
We evaluated the risk of breast cancer in relation to frequency consumption a few selected dietary items. Data were used from case-control study 1,108 histologically confirmed patients and 1,281 control subjects who hospital for acute conditions unrelated any established or suspected factors cancer. Moderately elevated estimates associated with higher levels fat seasonings [butter, margarine, oil, relative (RR) = 1.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.06-1.71] meat (RR 1.36, CI 1.12-1.65),...
