  • Association of Leisure-Time Physical Activity With Risk of 26 Types of Cancer in 1.44 Million Adults

    Steven C Moore, I-Min Lee et al.ARTICLEJAMA Internal Medicine2016

    IMPORTANCE: Leisure-time physical activity has been associated with lower risk of heart-disease and all-cause mortality, but its association with risk of cancer is not well understood. OBJECTIVE: To determine the association of leisure-time physical activity with incidence of common types of cancer and whether associations vary by body size and/or smoking. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: We pooled data from 12 prospective US and European cohor…

  • Body Mass Index and Risk of Death in Asian Americans

    Yikyung Park, Sophia Wang et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2014References: 30

    Objectives. We investigated the association between body mass index (BMI) and mortality among Asian Americans. Methods. We pooled data from prospective cohort studies with 20 672 Asian American adults with no baseline cancer or heart disease history. We estimated hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) with Cox proportional hazards models. Results. A high, but not low, BMI was associated with increased risk of total mortality among indiv…

  • Body-Mass Index and Mortality among 1.46 Million White Adults

    Amy Berrington de Gonzalez, Patricia Hartge et al.ARTICLENew England Journal of Medicine2010

    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…

  • Early and mid-adulthood BMI in relation to later cancer mortality

    Linsay Gray, I-M Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2010

    Objective The association between adiposity in early adulthood and subsequent development of specific malignancies is still unclear. Additionally, the potential mediating role of adiposity in middle age has not been well examined. We investigated the association of body mass index (BMI; weight(kg)/height(m 2 )) in early adulthood with later mortality from several cancers. Design Cohort study of male Harvard University students who had a medical e…

  • Elevated body mass index in early adulthood as a predictor of later coronary heart disease mortality

    George David Batty, Linsay Gray et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2009

    Objective: To compare magnitudes of association of BMI and measures of regional adiposity with coronary heart disease, diabetes and all-cause mortality. Design: 2 prospective cohort and 2 cross sectional studies. Participants: Members of 4 UK cohorts aged >45 years: 3937 women from the British Women's Heart and Health Study (BWHHS), 2367 and 1950 men from phases 1 and 3 of the Caerphilly Prospective Study (CaPS), 403 men and women from Boyd Orr, …

  • Elevated blood pressure in early adulthood as a predictor of later coronary heart disease mortality

    Linsay Gray, I M Lee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…2009

    Objective: To investigate whether variations in growth patterns in early-life are associated with blood pressure at age 6.5 years by modelling detailed, individual growth trajectories between birth and 5 years of age. Design: Prospective cohort study nested in a large randomised trial. Setting: Belarus. Participants: 10 494 children from Belarus who were born in one of 31 hospitals that participated in a cluster randomised trial of breastfeeding …
