Potential Risk Factors for Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma include Oral Contraceptives
Recently, a population-based case-control study observed a 60% increased odds ratio (OR) for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) among women who had ever used oral contraceptives (OCs) compared with non users (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.0-2.5). To further characterize the putative association between OC use and SCC risk, we conducted a nested case-control study using a large retrospective cohort of 111,521 Kaiser Permanente Northern Cal…
Marijuana use and mortality
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of marijuana use to mortality. METHODS: The study population comprised 65171 Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program enrollees, aged 15 through 49 years, who completed questionnaires about smoking habits, including marijuana use, between 1979 and 1985. Mortality follow-up was conducted through 1991. RESULTS: Compared with nonuse or experimentation (lifetime use six or fewer time…
Reduced Mortality Associated with Long-term Postmenopausal Estrogen Therapy
Objective To compare all-cause and specific-cause mortality rates in women who had or had not used long-term postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapy (ERT). Methods We identified women who used long-term postmenopausal ERT and compared them with a sample of age-matched postmenopausal nonusers. Through linking of these subjects' medical record numbers to various data bases, we examined survivorship and cause of death among estrogen users and no…
Misclassification of smoking status in the Cardia study
BACKGROUND. Although widely used in epidemiological studies, self-report has been shown to underestimate the prevalence of cigarette smoking in some populations. METHODS. In the CARDIA study, self-report of cigarette smoking was validated against a biochemical marker of nicotine uptake, serum cotinine. RESULTS. The prevalence of smoking was slightly lower when defined by self-report (30.9%) than when defined by cotinine levels equal to or greater…

Nongenetic influences of obesity on other cardiovascular disease risk factors
The importance of genetic influences on obesity has been emphasized recently. We conducted matched co-twin analyses of 250 pairs of White, male, monozygotic twins from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Twin Study. Entirely in the absence of genetic influences, obesity was significantly associated with systolic and diastolic blood pressures; one-hour, post-load glucose; total, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol; and triglycerides among …
Mentholated cigarette use among multiphasic examinees, 1979-86
Mentholated cigarette use was studied in relation to age and race in 29,037 current smokers who were Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program members. The percentages of mentholated cigarette users were much higher in Blacks and Asians than in Whites, especially in the younger age groups. A marked inverse relationship between mentholated cigarette use and age was present in Blacks and Asians; mentholated cigarette use showed little difference with …

Thinness and mortality
The relationship of thinness to mortality was examined in White adult members of the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program who had at least three multiphasic health checkups between 1964 and 1972, with mortality follow-up through 1980. A detailed comparison was performed of the mortality patterns of "thin" (decile 1 of Quetelet's index) and "average" weight (deciles 4 and 5) cohort members who were age 40-79 years and free of illness at the begi…
Prevalence and correlates of passive smoking
The duration per week of exposure to others' tobacco smoke in different locations was tabulated from the questionnaire responses of 37,881 non-smokers and ex-smokers who received multiphasic health checkups in 1979 and 1980. Altogether 63.3 per cent of subjects reported some exposure, 34.5 per cent were exposed at least 10 hours per week, and 15.9 per cent at least 40 hours per week. Duration of exposure per week was weakly correlated with serum …
A survey of personal habits, symptoms of illness, and histories of disease in man with and without vasectomies
Using questionnaire information provided by 4.385 vasectomized and 13,155 matched, non-vasectomized men, we found no significant differences between them for a large number of symptoms and diseases, including those of the cardiovascular system. After taking into account differences in their martial status, past smoking habits, and physical activity at work, significant statistical associations of vasectomy with joint pain or swelling, back troubl…
Accuracy of information on smoking habits provided on self-administered research questionnaires
In the setting of a prepaid medical care plan, self-administered questionnaires were an accurate source of information on smoking habits and the standard against which the physiologic measures of smoking, serum thiocyanate, and expired carbon monoxide, must be judged. Questionnaire responses were internally consistent and highly reproducible. In contrast, the physiologic measures had low overall sensitivity as tests of current tobacco exposure (0…
A Psychological Questionnaire Predictive of Myocardial Infarction
A 155-item psychological questionnaire was given to 330 multiphasic examinees who subsequently developed a well-documented first myocardial infarction (MI). Two age-sex-race-matched control groups remaining free of MI were selected from multiphasic examinees; one group was additionally matched to the cases for standard coronary risk factors. Responses to several questionnaire items were associated with subsequent MI to a statistically significant…

Health Service Utilization by Smokers and Nonsmokers
Among members of a prepaid health plan, a sample of white men and women age 20 years or older was studied for differences in utilization of several types of health services by cigarette smokers, nonsmokers, and exsmokers. Health examinations, especially Automated Multiphasic Health Testing (AMHT), were used least by smokers. Smoking was associated with an augmented social class difference in use of health examinations. AMHT in particular was used…

Pain Tolerance
The nature and extent of group differences in pain tolerance according to age, sex and race were examined. The method of pain tolerance determination was mechanical pressure on the Achilles tendon, performed on 41, 119 subjects as part of the Kaiser-Permanente Automated Multiphasic Screening examination. The results showed that, on the average, a) pain tolerance decreases with age; b) men tolerate more pain than women; and c) Whites tolerate more…
