We compared personal histories of 127 cases and 245 controls to identify possible environmental risk factors for idiopathic parkinsonism (IP). Of our controls, 121 had cardiac disease (CD) 124 were randomly selected from electoral lists (voters). Using logistic regression adjusting sex age, we ran separate analyses: IP versus CD voters. A full occupational history was collected, as known contact with all pesticides associated the tree fruit sector agricultural industry. found a significant...
To compare the predictive validity of demand/control and reward/imbalance models, alone in combination with each other, for self-reported health status presence any chronic disease condition. Self-reports psychosocial work conditions were obtained a sample sawmill workers using effort/reward imbalance models. The relative task-level control was compared imbalance. As well, model developed by combining determined. Logistic regression utilized all models independently predicted poor status....
Parts of Xuan Wei County, Yunnan Province, China have the highest known lung cancer mortality in nonsmoking women. This high displays a clear spatial relationship to mines producing coal from uppermost Permian. Geochemical, petrographic, and grainsize analyses were undertaken on set samples Wei. Results demonstrate that single geochemical property makes this unusual is its concentration quartz (13.5 wt %) which 35-55% occurs as <10 microm grains. We propose potential for silica-volatile...
The purpose of the study was to determine whether paternal occupational exposure dioxincontaminated chlorophenols is associated with an increased risk congenital anomalies or other adverse reproductive outcomes in offspring.As a result multistep linkage, 19675 births between 1952 and 1988 were identified as children cohort 9512 fathers who had worked at least one year British Columbia sawmills where chlorophenate wood preservatives been used. A nested case-referent analysis applied, using...
Our aim was to compare risk of lung cancer associated with smoking by gender and histologic type. A total 30,874 subjects, 44% women, from three prospective population-based studies initial examinations between 1964 1992 were followed until 1994 through the National Cancer Registry. There 867 cases cancer, 203 among women 664 men. Rates female male never-smokers similar, although confidence intervals around rates wide. Rate ratios (RRs) increased number pack-years for both men a maximum...
One major set back to the success of TB control globally is stigma attached disease in most societies. This article explores community's understanding of, and attitudes behaviours towards examines implications for efforts. Individual in-depth interviews focus groups were held with community members generated data analysed using Grounded Theory techniques procedures. At core feelings fear infection leading imposition socio-physical distance participatory restrictions on those suffering from...
Salivary cortisol is widely used in research but little known about the typical, or expected, functioning of HPA-axis adolescents naturalistic settings, nor whether extensive array confounders documented literature applicable this situation. In a school-based study, 2995 15-year-old pupils provided two saliva samples, 30 min apart, morning sessions timed to capture peak decline. The collection protocol was balance between large sample size obtainable school situation and limited number...
This paper examines the relative importance of family socioeconomic status (SES) and school-based peer hierarchies for young people's psychoneuroendocrine response, represented by cortisol level. Data are drawn from a study 2824, 15-year-olds in 22 Scottish secondary schools 2006 who provided information on SES (parental occupation, material deprivation affluence) social position school hierarchies, together with two morning salivary samples. School was assessed participants placing...
Several studies have found a non-linear relationship between mental ill-health and BMI with higher rates in both the underweight obese. This study evaluated shape of distress, suicidal ideation self-reported conditions large population sample.Data were drawn from South Australian Monitoring Surveillance System (SAMSS) for years 2002 to 2009 (n = 46,704). SAMSS monitors trends state national risk factors chronic diseases. Samples are all households functioning number White Pages. Computer...
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between exposure to chlorophenates and risk of soft tissue sarcoma; non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; Hodgkin's disease; cancers lung, nose, nasopharynx. METHODS: A retrospective cohort was conducted 26487 workers employed for at least 1 year 1950 1985 in 11 chlorophenate-using 3 non-using sawmills British Columbia, Canada. Exposures by job were ascertained with interviews senior employees. RESULTS: Probabilistic record linkage Canadian Mortality Data...
Health professionals are in a power category within any social setting so when they identify and label diseases with negative attributes, it can be recognised by society discriminatory consequences for individuals affected the community. This article reports how activities of health professionals, as perceived construed community members basis stigmatisation patients tuberculosis (TB) society.
