Midlife Urinary Phthalate Metabolite Concentrations and Prior Uterine Fibroid Diagnosis
Fibroid etiology is poorly understood but is likely hormonally mediated. Therefore, we evaluated associations between midlife phthalates (hormone-altering chemicals) and prior fibroid diagnosis, and considered differences by weight gain status. Women (ages: 45−54; n = 754) self-reported past fibroid diagnosis. We pooled 1−4 urines collected after fibroid diagnosis over the consecutive weeks to analyze nine phthalate metabolites and calculate rele…
The association between physical activity and hot flash severity, frequency, and duration in mid‐life women
The value of physical activity to reduce vasomotor symptoms has yet to be determined conclusively. As a result, we used a cross‐sectional population‐based design to examine the association between self reported physical activity level and hot flash symptoms in 45–54‐year‐old women. Participants ( n = 603) completed a detailed survey to report physical activity level at work, home, and leisure as well as a detailed history of the frequency and sev…
Organizational and activational effects of estrogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals
Endocrine disruption is a hypothesis of common mode of action that may define a set of structurally varied chemicals, both natural and synthetic. Their common mode of action may suggest that they produce or contribute to similar toxic effects, although this has been difficult to demonstrate. Insights from developmental biology suggest that development of hormone sensitive systems, such as the brain and the genitourinary tract, may be particularly…
Ethnic Differences in Cancer Mortality Trends in the US, 19501992
There are unexplained ethnic differences in the long-term mortality trends of selected cancers. Of particular concern are the increasing death rates in black individuals from colorectal, prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers. Since almost all deaths from these cancers occur in persons over 40, age-adjustment using an age-truncated standard population that includes only those age groups at risk should be considered, particularly when the question …
