  • Cabbage and Sauerkraut Consumption in Adolescence and Adulthood and Breast Cancer Risk among US-Resident Polish Migrant Women

    Open AccessDorothy R Pathak, Aryeh D Stein et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    Greater consumption of total and raw/short-cooked cabbage/sauerkraut foods either during adolescence or adulthood was associated with significantly reduced BC risk among Polish migrant women. These findings contribute to the growing literature suggesting a protective effect of a potentially modifiable factor, cruciferous vegetable intake, on breast cancer risk

  • Accuracy of self-reported weight in the Women’s Health Initiative

    Open AccessJuhua Luo, Cynthia A Thomson et al.ARTICLEPublic Health Nutrition2019

    Objective To assess the extent of error present in self-reported weight data in the Women’s Health Initiative, variables that may be associated with error, and to develop methods to reduce any identified error. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Forty clinical centres in the USA. Participants Women ( n 75 336) participating in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS) and women ( n 6236) participating in the WHI Long Life S…

  • Whole body bone, fat and lean mass in children

    Open AccessDorothy A Nelson, David A Baronde et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1997References: 25

    We measured whole body bone, fat and lean mass, by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, of third-grade children in a suburban public school district adjacent to Detroit. Of 1,340 eligible children, 773 participated. Using U.S. Census categories, parents identified their children as black/African-American (57%), white (38%), or one of several other categories (5%). Some of the participants also identified with a relatively large Middle Eastern subgro…

  • Principal components analysis of regional bone density in black and white women

    Open AccessDorothy A Nelson, Marcia Feingold et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1991Cited by: 9References: 28

    Black and white women in the United States differ with respect to bone mass and the risk of developing osteoporosis. It has been suggested that greater body size among U.S. blacks may contribute to greater bone density in this group. It is not known whether the fat or lean component contributes more to this relationship. Bone density was measured at seven sites in 161 normal black and white women using single and dual photon absorptiometry. The f…

  • An Evaluation of Postdepositional Changes in the Trace Element Content of Human Bone

    Open AccessDorothy A Nelson, Norman J SauerARTICLEAmerican Antiquity1984Cited by: 6References: 5

    A prerequisite to dietary reconstruction based on the trace element content of disinterred bone is the evaluation of postdepositional, or diagenetic, changes in the levels of trace elements contained in the bone. This study describes one method of assessing trace element permeation in disinterred bones from the Black Earth site, Illinois. The levels of several trace elements were determined in 50 samples of bone and associated soil. Correlation c…
