Religiosity Is Associated with Reduced Risk of All-Cause and Coronary Heart Disease Mortality among Jewish Men
Previous studies have found an inverse association between religiosity and mortality. However, most of these studies were carried out with Christian participants. This longitudinal study aimed to determine whether a composite variable based on self-reported religious education and religious practices is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and all-cause mortality in 9237 Jewish men aged 40-65 years at baseline, over a 32-year follow-up. J…
Excess Body Weight and Long-Term Incidence of Lung and Colon Cancer in Men; Follow-Up Study of 43 Years
Most evidence for an association between excess body weight and cancer risk has been derived from studies of relatively short duration with little reference to the effect on tumor site. This study was designed to evaluate the association between categories of body mass index (BMI: 30 kg/m 2 ) and the incidence of colon and lung cancer over 43 years of follow-up (1963-2006), in 10,043 men from the Israeli Ischemic Heart Disease (IIHD) prospective …
Smoking and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease in Younger, Middle-Aged, and Older Adults
Objectives. We investigated associations of smoking and coronary heart disease (CHD) by age. Methods. Data came from the Pooling Project on Diet and Coronary Heart Disease (8 prospective studies, 1974–1996; n = 192 067 women and 74 720 men, aged 40–89 years). Results. During follow-up, 4326 cases of CHD were reported. Relative to never smokers, CHD risk among current smokers was highest in the youngest and lowest in the oldest participants. For e…
Ethnicity and Long-term Prognosis After Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: Health disparities are systematic differences in health, favoring members of advantaged over disadvantaged groups in the society. This study examines the contribution of multiple socioeconomic status (SES) measures to ethnic differences in after myocardial infarction (MI) prognosis. METHODS: Patients aged 65 years and younger (n=1040) belonging to Ashkenazi and Mizrahi advantaged and disadvantaged ethnic groups discharged from 8 hospi…
Prediction of standing height among Israeli older adults
The prediction of the standing height of frail elderly Israelis, by KH, UL, WC and age, may be an alternative method when actual standing height is difficult or not possible to measure
Role of Socioeconomic Status Measures in Long-term Mortality Risk Prediction After Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: The relationship of risk factors to outcomes has traditionally been assessed by measures of association such as odds ratio or hazard ratio and their statistical significance from an adjusted model. However, a strong, highly significant association does not guarantee a gain in stratification capacity. Using recently developed model performance indices, we evaluated the incremental discriminatory power of individual and neighborhood soc…
Prognostic Importance and Long-Term Determinants of Self-Rated Health After Initial Acute Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: Self-rated health (SRH) is a valid measure of health and its trajectories over time have been found to predict mortality. A better understanding of the determinants of changes in SRH is required, particularly post-myocardial infarction (MI), where rapid changes in health may occur. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prognostic importance of SRH and the determinants of its long-term trajectory in patients with MI. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Betwee…
Weight-height indices
Weight/height 2 (W/H 2 ) was found to be the `best9 power-type weight-height index for men of all ages above 40 when examining the 10,000 Israel civil servants. These were all men aged 40 and over from six major areas of birth in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Israel. This finding confirms other work done with widely different cultural groups. The association of this W/H 2 index was examined in respect of several demographic and other…
