Blood Pressure, Hypertension, and Antihypertensive Medication Use and Risk of Total and Fatal Prostate Cancer in Black and White Men in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (Aric) Study
Genetic evidence of assortative mating in humans
The Effect of Alcohol Treatment on Social Costs of Alcohol Dependence
BACKGROUND: The COMBINE (combined pharmacotherapies and behavioral intervention) clinical trial recently evaluated the efficacy of pharmacotherapies, behavioral therapies, and their combinations for the treatment of alcohol dependence. Previously, the cost and cost-effectiveness of COMBINE have been studied. Policy makers, patients, and nonalcohol-dependent individuals may be concerned not only with alcohol treatment costs but also with the effec…
Vital Exhaustion and Retinal Microvascular Changes in Cardiovascular Disease
OBJECTIVE: To determine if vital exhaustion, a measure of negative emotion, is associated with microvascular changes in the retina. Negative psychological factors, such as depression, have been implicated in the development of cardiovascular disease. Whether this link is mediated by macrovascular or microvascular disease is unknown. METHODS: We performed a population-based, cross-sectional study of 10,364 White and African Americans aged 48 to 73…
Changing drinking pattern does not influence health perception
Objective: To investigate if dynamic changes in the pattern of alcoholic beverages consumption are associated with modifications in health perception. Design, setting, and participants: This study investigated 12 332 middle aged men and women from the atherosclerosis risk in communities study who reported drinking status and perceived health triennially from 1987 to 1995. Crude and adjusted risks for change in health perception between visits two…
Features of infant exposure to tobacco smoke in a cohort study in Tasmania
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To document changes in smoking style around infants over time and to identify factors associated with the smoking hygiene of mothers and others. DESIGN: A population based cohort study. SETTING: Population based, involving 22% of live births in Tasmania, Australia. PARTICIPANTS: From 1 May 1988 to 30 April, 1993, 6109 infants and their mothers (89% of eligible infants) participated in the hospital and home interview of the cohor…
