Ambient air pollutant concentrations during pregnancy and the risk of fetal growth restriction
BACKGROUND: Previous studies of air pollution and birth outcomes have not evaluated whether complicated pregnancies might be susceptible to the adverse effects of air pollution. It was hypothesised that trimester mean pollutant concentrations could be associated with fetal growth restriction, with larger risks among complicated pregnancies. METHODS: A multiyear linked birth certificate and maternal/newborn hospital discharge dataset of singleton,…
Teenage pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes
BACKGROUND: Whether the association between teenage pregnancy and adverse birth outcomes could be explained by deleterious social environment, inadequate prenatal care, or biological immaturity remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine whether teenage pregnancy is associated with increased adverse birth outcomes independent of known confounding factors. METHODS: We carried out a retrospective cohort study of 3,886,364 nu…
Level of aggregation for optimal epidemiological analysis
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To illustrate the concept of "individualised fallacy", the result of improper interpretation and inference about aggregate level associations on the basis of associations at the individual level, in epidemiology. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: Canadian province of Ontario. PATIENTS: All patients who underwent primary appendicectomy in 175 Ontario hospitals from 1989 to 1992. The association between rate of normal appendix removal…

Does maternal employment affect breast-feeding
A prospective survey of maternal employment and breast-feeding initiation and duration was conducted among 668 Black and 511 White women who delivered their first child in Washington, DC. Ninety-one percent of White women (n = 511) and 80 percent of Black women (n = 668) reported working during pregnancy. Black women who planned to return to work part time vs full time were more likely to breast-feed rather than formula-feed (adjusted odds ratio,…
Reliability of diet measures as chronic disease risk factors
Characteristics of joggers among Japanese men in Hawaii
In a population-based cohort of Japanese American men in Hawaii, the 450 joggers differed from 6,171 nonjoggers in being younger, taller, heavier, and more obese; in having larger vital capacity, higher socioeconomic status, and a higher prevalence of certain electrocardiographic abnormalities; and in being more health conscious as demonstrated by less smoking and a higher frequency of special diets. Blood pressure, serum total cholesterol, hemat…
Cultural and biological inheritance of plasma lipids
A path analytic model for the analysis of nuclear family data is described and used to analyze the results of two major studies of cholesterol (CH) and triglyceride (TG), the Honolulu Heart Study (HHS) of Japanese–Americans and the Cincinnati Lipid Research Clinic (LRC) study of Caucasians. The studies were first analyzed separately to assess evidence for genetic and cultural transmission, marital resemblance, and maternal environmental effects f…

Behavioral, social, and physiological determinants of lipoprotein concentrations
The Lipoprotein Family Study of Japanese‐Americans in Hawaii is described. Measured effects of the behavioral, social, and physiological milieu (apart from age and sex) account for little of the variance. Subsequent papers will consider the genetic and cultural causes of family resemblance in this material
