Body-mass index and all-cause mortality
PP50 Body Mass Index, Waist Circumference and Incident Coronary Heart Disease in the Million Women Study
Background Body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference are measures of total and abdominal adiposity, respectively, and both relate to coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. However, these measures are highly correlated, and require large-scale studies to reliably examine their separate associations with incident CHD. We examined the prospective relation of BMI and waist circumference with incident CHD in a large UK population-based cohort. Methods…
OP27 Marital Status and Ischaemic Heart Disease
Background Being married is known to decrease the risk of all cause and cardiovascular mortality for men, but it is not clear if marriage confers a similar benefit for women. In addition, few studies have examined marital status in relation to both mortality and disease incidence to determine whether the beneficial effects of marriage influence the aetiology or prognosis of disease. Methods A total of 747,532 women (mean age: 59.8, SD 4.9), witho…
P1-336 Validation of NHS hospital admission records for ischaemic heart disease in the million women study
Introduction The Million Women Study is a large longitudinal UK study of women's health. Between 1996 and 2001, 1.3 million women mostly aged 50–64 years were recruited through NHS breast screening centres in England and Scotland. Their current average age is 68 years. For all participants, the study has linkage to hospital admission records (Hospital Episode Statistics [HES] for England, Scottish Morbidity Records) as one source of study outcome…
O1-4.2 Individual participant analysis of secular trends in cardiovascular mortality in UK women, 2000–2009
Introduction Cardiovascular mortality has declined rapidly in recent decades in many developed countries. Although determinants of these trends have been investigated in ecological studies, little evidence has so far been available from individual participant data. Methods The Million Women Study is a prospective cohort study of approximately 1.3 million women from England and Scotland, recruited in 1996–2001. For women 50–69 years of age, trends…
P1-80 Different effects of body mass index and physical activity on the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in postmenopausal women
Introduction We compared the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical activity for the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in a large prospective study of postmenopausal women in the UK. Methods In 1996–2001, women recruited into the Million Women Study completed a self-administered questionnaire asking about a range of health and lifestyle factors. Incident fractures were identified through self-report in a follow-up questionna…
P2-118 Vitamin C intake from diary recordings and risk of breast cancer in the UK dietary cohort consortium
Introduction Vitamin C intake has been inversely associated with breast cancer risk in case-control studies, but not in meta-analyses of cohort studies using Food Frequency Questionnaires. No study has assessed this relationship prospectively using food diaries which may more accurately measure intake. Methods Estimated dietary vitamin C intake was derived from 4 to 7 day food diaries pooled from five prospective studies in the UK Dietary Cohort …
P2-36 Body mass index and risk of incident ischaemic heart disease in women
Background Various studies have examined body mass index in relation to mortality due to ischaemic heart disease (IHD), but few data are available on incident IHD including non-fatal events particularly in women. Methods We used multivariate Cox regression, taking into account confounding and mediating factors, to examine the association between body mass index and first IHD event (ascertained from hospital records and death registration) in the …
O2-1.6 Childhood, Early Adulthood, and Middle Age Adiposity and Risk of Postmenopausal Endometrial Cancer
Background Middle age obesity is a common risk factor of postmenopausal endometrial cancer and breast cancer. Recent studies suggest that childhood and early adulthood obesity might be independent protective factors against breast cancer, while this effect has not been well understood in endometrial cancer. Methods This analysis is based on 378 614 postmenopausal British women in the Million Women Study who reported validated information of their…
Sleep duration and breast cancer risk
Background It is hypothesised that sleep duration affects the production of melatonin and subsequently influences cancer risk. The relationship between sleep duration and risk of breast cancer has been investigated recently but findings from epidemiological studies have been inconsistent and have not been summarised quantitatively. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis of observational studies of the association between sleep duration and breast ca…
Different effects of body mass index and physical activity on the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in postmenopausal women
Objective To compare the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and physical activity for the risk of ankle, wrist and hip fractures in a large prospective study of postmenopausal women in the UK. Methods In 1996–2001, women recruited into the Million Women Study completed a self-administered questionnaire asking about body size, physical activity, disease history, and lifestyle and reproductive factors. Incident ankle, wrist and hip fracture…
Association between birthweight and obesity in adult females
Objective Adult obesity is associated with a variety of acute and chronic illnesses. Although high birthweight is known to predict obesity in middle age, the relationship between low birthweight and obesity is less clear. This study examines the association between birthweight and obesity in middle-aged women, and investigates whether the association is modified by other factors. Methods The Million Women Study is a large population-based prospec…
