Strength of the relationships between three self-reported dietary intake instruments and serum carotenoids
Objective To assess the strength of the relationships between serum carotenoids and three self-reported dietary intake instruments often used to characterize carotenoid intake in studies of diet and disease. Design Participants completed a Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ), two 24 h dietary recalls (24HR), a fruit and vegetable screener and a fasting blood draw. We derived dietary intake estimates of α-carotene, β-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, …
Health Status, Neighborhood Socioeconomic Context, and Premature Mortality in the United States
Objectives. We examined whether the risk of premature mortality associated with living in socioeconomically deprived neighborhoods varies according to the health status of individuals. Methods. Community-dwelling adults (n = 566 402; age = 50–71 years) in 6 US states and 2 metropolitan areas participated in the ongoing prospective National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study, which began in 1995. We used baseline data for 565 679 part…
Validating an FFQ for intake of episodically consumed foods
Objective To develop a method to validate an FFQ for reported intake of episodically consumed foods when the reference instrument measures short-term intake, and to apply the method in a large prospective cohort. Design The FFQ was evaluated in a sub-study of cohort participants who, in addition to the questionnaire, were asked to complete two non-consecutive 24 h dietary recalls (24HR). FFQ-reported intakes of twenty-nine food groups were analys…
Body-Mass Index and Mortality among 1.46 Million White Adults
BACKGROUND: A high body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) is associated with increased mortality from cardiovascular disease and certain cancers, but the precise relationship between BMI and all-cause mortality remains uncertain. METHODS: We used Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for an association between BMI and all-cause mortality, adjusting for age, stud…
Beyond Recreational Physical Activity
Objectives. We prospectively examined nonrecreational physical activity and sedentary behavior in relation to breast cancer risk among 97 039 postmenopausal women in the National Institutes of Health–AARP Diet and Health Study. Methods. We identified 2866 invasive and 570 in situ breast cancer cases recorded between 1996 and 2003 and used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate multivariate relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence interval…
Performance of a food-frequency questionnaire in the US NIH–Aarp (National Institutes of Health–American Association of Retired Persons) Diet and Health Study
Objective We evaluated the performance of the food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) administered to participants in the US NIH–AARP (National Institutes of Health–American Association of Retired Persons) Diet and Health Study, a cohort of 566 404 persons living in the USA and aged 50–71 years at baseline in 1995. Design The 124-item FFQ was evaluated within a measurement error model using two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls (24HRs) as the re…
Overweight, Obesity, and Mortality in a Large Prospective Cohort of Persons 50 to 71 Years Old
BACKGROUND: Obesity, defined by a body-mass index (BMI) (the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) of 30.0 or more, is associated with an increased risk of death, but the relation between overweight (a BMI of 25.0 to 29.9) and the risk of death has been questioned. METHODS: We prospectively examined BMI in relation to the risk of death from any cause in 527,265 U.S. men and women in the National Institutes of Health-A…
Diet, nutrition and the prevention of cancer
Objective: To assess the epidemiological evidence on diet and cancer and make public health recommendations. Design: Review of published studies, concentrating on recent systematic reviews, meta-analyses and large prospective studies. Conclusions and recommendations: Overweight/obesity increases the risk for cancers of the oesophagus (adenocarcinoma), colorectum, breast (postmenopausal), endometrium and kidney; body weight should be maintained in…
Performance of a short tool to assess dietary intakes of fruits and vegetables, percentage energy from fat and fibre
Objectives: We describe the methods used to develop and score a 17-item ‘screener’ designed to estimate intake of fruit and vegetables, percentage energy from fat and fibre. The ability of this screener and a food-frequency questionnaire (FFQ) to measure these exposures is evaluated. Design: Using US national food consumption data, stepwise multiple regression was used to identify the foods to be included on the instrument; multiple regression an…
Does nutritionist review of a self-administered food frequency questionnaire improve data quality
Objective: This study sought to evaluate the benefit of utilizing a nutritionist review of a self-administered food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), to determine whether accuracy could be improved beyond that produced by the self-administered questionnaire alone. Design: Participants randomized into a dietary intervention trial completed both a FFQ and a 4-day food record (FR) at baseline before entry into the intervention. The FFQ was self-adminis…
Socioeconomic status and breast cancer mortality, 1989 through 1993
OBJECTIVES: This study examined whether more highly educated women were at greater risk of dying of breast cancer during 1989 through 1993. METHODS: Breast cancer mortality rates were calculated through death certificates and Current Population Survey data. RESULTS: Breast cancer mortality rates were highest among women with 12 and with 16 or more years of education. Non-Hispanic Black women had the highest mortality rates and Asian women the low…
Temporal trends in the socioeconomic gradient for breast cancer mortality among US women
Temporal trends in breast cancer mortality among US women were examined for 1969 through 1989 by age, race, and county-level socioeconomic status (SES). The mortality ratio for high- relative to low-SES counties declined significantly among women 25 to 44, 45 to 64, and more than 65 years of age, respectively, from 1.13 to 0.96, 1.32 to 1.19, and 1.48 to 1.26. The narrowing of mortality occurred among Whites and, to a lesser extent, Blacks. A rel…

The Relationship of Inpatient Racial Composition and Hospital Closure in New York City
This study examined the correlates of hospital closure for short-stay, nonfederal hospitals in New York City. Twenty-four of the 94 hospitals analyzed closed between December 1975 and May 1981. The mean proportion of nonwhite inpatients was higher for those hospitals that closed (0.45) than for those that remained open (0.26) (P less than 0.01). Approximately 48.8% of the 3,308 inpatients in all closed hospitals combined were nonwhite, while 33.3…

Recent trends in coronary risk factors in the USSR
The soviet Union has experienced an increase in the incidence of coronary heart disease over the last 15 years sufficient to result in an overall deterioration in the health of adults. The distribution of coronary risk factors, and the secular trends in diet and cigarette consumption, provide a potential explanation for the upsurge in death rates. The animal fat content of the Soviet diet has been steadily enriched since the 1950s and cigarette p…
Improved Mortality among U.S. Blacks, 1968–1978
A marked improvement in health status for black adults took place over the last decade in the United States. Life expectancy for black men increased 4.6 years between 1968 and 1978, while for black women the increase was 5.7 years. Death rates for the age group 35–74 decreased approximately 25 percent for blacks over the same period. The largest contribution to this improvement was made by cardiovascular diseases (coronary heart disease and strok…
