Growth patterns of white British and Pakistani children in the Born in Bradford cohort
BACKGROUND: Childhood growth patterns have been proposed as a key predictor of health during childhood and adult life. In earlier studies, however, the statistical methodologies employed failed to uncover the more subtle patterns in growth trajectories. METHODS: Study participants were 1364 singleton term children (602 white British and 762 Pakistani origin) drawn from the Born in Bradford (BiB) prospective cohort. Weights were measured at 0, 1, …
Relationship between body mass index and women’s body image, self-esteem and eating behaviours in pregnancy
This study examined the relationship between self-esteem, restrained eating, body image and body mass index during pregnancy. A total of 110 pregnant Israeli and UK women completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Questionnaire, the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire, scales to assess body image and demographics. Body mass index was calculated from antenatal records. Regression modelling determined the relationship between variables, countries and bod…

SP1-75 Multiple imputation and survival analysis
Introduction Stage of disease at presentation of cancer is not routinely recorded in medical records, resulting in large amounts of missing data. We investigated survival trends by ethnicity among 0–29 year olds with cancer while using multiple imputation (MI) to impute missing values of stage. Method Subjects (n=3534) diagnosed with cancer in Yorkshire (1990–2005) were analysed. Individual imputation models were used to assign stage of disease t…
P1-96 Primary bone cancer in 0–49 year olds in great britain, 1980–2005 and fluoride in drinking water
Introduction Primary bone cancers (PBC) occur most often in young people. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma family of bone tumours (ESFT) are most commonly diagnosed in children but aetiology remains unclear. Fluoride has been proposed as a potential causal agent for PBC. The study investigated whether incidence of PBC was linked with fluoride in drinking water. Method Incidence data on cases aged <50 years diagnosed during 1980–2005 were obtained f…
Demographic analyses of primary bone cancer in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain, 1980–2005
Objective To examine geographical patterning in the incidence of primary bone cancers diagnosed in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain (GB) during the period 1980–2005. The analyses focussed on the two most common types in this age range, osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. We specifically aimed to analyse putative associations with area characteristics including deprivation and population density. Design The study accessed multiple data sources includin…
Incidence rates and survival trends of cancer in 0–29-year-olds by ethnic group in Yorkshire, UK
Objective Few studies have examined differences in the epidemiology of cancer between ethnic groups for children and young adults in the UK. We investigated incidence rates, associated trends and survival by ethnicity (south Asian vs all other ethnic groups) across childhood (0–14) and young adult (15–29) ages using a unique specialist cancer register. Methods The data used for this study were extracted from the Yorkshire Specialist Register of C…
Incidence rate trends in childhood type 1 diabetes in Yorkshire, 1978–2007
Objective To examine incidence rates and trends of childhood Type 1 diabetes in Yorkshire from 1978 to 2007. Methods Data from the population-based Yorkshire Register of Diabetes in Children and Young People was used to analyse the incidence of Type 1 diabetes in children aged <15 years diagnosed in the former Yorkshire Regional Health Authority. Incidence rates (per 100 000 per year) were estimated using mid-year population estimates stratified …
Fluoride and bone cancer
Objective To analyse the putative association between incidence of primary bone cancer diagnosed in 0–49 year olds in Great Britain (GB) in 1980–2005 and fluoride in drinking water. The analyses focussed on osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. Design The study accessed multiple data sources including population census, digital boundary, postcode directory and fluoride monitoring at water supply zone level data. Incidence data from all 10 regional canc…
The epidemiology of bone cancer diagnosed in 0–49-year-olds in northern England, 1981–2002
Results: There were a total of 5909 childhood cancer cases; 2959 aged 0-14 years (1659 males, 1300 females) and 2950 aged 15-24 years (1590 males, 1358 females).For 0-14-year-old boys, there was statistically significant sinusoidal variation in month of birth for acute non-lymphocytic leukaemia (p = 0.04; peak in September) and astrocytoma (p = 0.03; peak in October).Based on month of diagnosis, there was statistically significant sinusoidal vari…
