Physical activity and risk of cancer in the NHANES I population
We studied the relation between self-reported physical activity and cancer in the first National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) cohort, originally examined between 1971-75, and followed prospectively through the Epidemiologic Follow-up Study (NHEFS), conducted between 1982-84. Among 5,138 men and 7,407 women 25-74 years old, for nonrecreational activity we observed increased risk of cancer among inactive individuals compared t…
Bowel function and breast cancer in US women
We studied bowel function in relation to 123 breast cancer cases among 7,702 women from the US NHANES I Epidemiologic Follow-up Study. Results suggest a slight increased risk of breast cancer for both decreased frequency of bowel movements (relative risk = 1.5, 95% confidence interval = 0.8, 2.7) and firm stool consistency (RR = 1.8, 95% CI = 1.0, 3.2.) These observations are consistent with an hypothesized association between constipation and in…
Carotenodermia in men with elevated carotenoid intake from foods and beta-carotene supplements
We evaluated the relation between plasma levels of carotenoids and carotenodermia in 30 men receiving carotenoid supplementation for 42 d. Five subjects each were randomly assigned to one of six treatment groups: 30 mg purified beta-carotene supplement, 12 mg beta-carotene supplement, 272 g cooked carrots, 300 g cooked broccoli, 180 g tomato juice, and placebo. Definite carotenodermia was observed only in the five subjects who took 30 mg of purif…
Paraquat and marijuana: Epidemiologic risk assessment
In March 1978, 13 (21 per cent) of 61 marijuana samples from the southwestern United States were found to be contaminated with the herbicide paraquat, a pulmonary toxin, in concentrations from 3 to 2,264 parts per million. The source of the contamination was an aerial spraying program in Mexico, supported indirectly by United States funds. To evaluate US exposure, a nationwide survey of the paraquat content of confiscated marijuana was conducted.…
