Food, nutrition, physical activity and cancer prevention. Authoritative report from World Cancer Research Fund provides global update
From little acorns mighty oak trees can grow. On 1 November last year the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) released its second comprehensive report on the role of food, nutrition and physical activity in the prevention of cancer This imposing volume, the product of an exhaustive and meticulous 5-year review of the world's scientific literature by a pantheon of nutritional scientists, epidemiologists and biostatisticians, comes 10 years after the…
Climate variability and Ross River virus transmission
Objectives: (1) To examine the feasibility to link climate data with monthly incidence of Ross River virus (RRv). (2) To assess the impact of climate variability on the RRv transmission. Design: An ecological time series analysis was performed on the data collected between 1985 to 1996 in Queensland, Australia. Methods: Information on the notified RRv cases was obtained from the Queensland Department of Health. Climate and population data were su…
Global Environmental Change as “Risk Factor”
Dioxins in Belgian feed and food
The scare over dioxin contamination of Belgian food in May to June 1999 erupted when European consumer confidence in food was particularly low. Both public alarm and oYcial reponse were intense. The European Union banned sales of Belgian poultry, eggs, fatty beef, pork, butter, and all byproduct foods. In terms of the actual risks to consumers from this particular increment in dose, the response was almost certainly excessive. Nevertheless, as ri…
Excess mortality in England and Wales, and in Greater London, during the 1995 heatwave
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact on mortality of the heatwave in England and Wales during July and August 1995 and to describe any difference in mortality impact between the Greater London urban population and the national population. DESIGN: Analysis of variation in daily mortality in England and Wales and in Greater London during a five day heatwave in July and August 1995, by age, sex, and cause. SETTING: England and Wales, and Greater Lo…
Population and the Environment
Climate Change and Human Health
The sustained health of human populations requires the continued integrity of Earths natural systems. These systems are now threatened by global climate change and other environmental changes such as those resulting from unsustainable use of natural resources from air water and soil pollution and from overcrowding. Divided into 10 chapters this book examines the potential health hazards of human population from global climate change--defined as a…
Global Comparative Assessments in the Health Sector
Excess mortality in England and Wales, and in Greater London, during the 1995 heatwave
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact on mortality of the heatwave in England and Wales during July and August 1995 and to describe any difference in mortality impact between the Greater London urban population and the national population. DESIGN: Analysis of variation in daily mortality in England and Wales and in Greater London during a five day heatwave in July and August 1995, by age, sex, and cause. SETTING: England and Wales, and Greater Lo…
