General and Abdominal Adiposity and Risk of Death in Europe
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have relied predominantly on the body-mass index (BMI, the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters) to assess the association of adiposity with the risk of death, but few have examined whether the distribution of body fat contributes to the prediction of death. METHODS: We examined the association of BMI, waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio with the risk of death among 359,387 partici…
Diet, physical activity and cognitive impairment among elders
Objectives To identify dietary and lifestyle variables that may affect cognitive function in the elderly. Design Population-based prospective cohort study. Setting General community residing in Athens and the surrounding Attica region of Greece. Subjects A total of 732 men and women, 60 years or older, participating in the EPIC–Greece cohort (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) and residing in the Attica region had socio…
European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic)
The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) is an ongoing multi-centre prospective cohort study designed to investigate the relationship between nutrition and cancer, with the potential for studying other diseases as well. The study currently includes 519 978 participants (366 521 women and 153 457 men, mostly aged 35–70 years) in 23 centres located in 10 European countries, to be followed for cancer incidence and caus…
European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (Epic) calibration study
The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), which covers a large cohort of half a million men and women from 23 European centres in 10 Western European countries, was designed to study the relationship between diet and the risk of chronic diseases, particularly cancer. Information on usual individual dietary intake was assessed using different validated dietary assessment methods across participating countries. In ord…
Effectiveness of a comprehensive multisector campaign to increase seat belt use in the greater Athens area, Greece. Hellenic Road Traffic Police Department
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the effectiveness of a comprehensive campaign to increase seat belt use in Athens. METHODS: In 1996 a survey focusing on seat belt use was undertaken among occupants of 1400 passenger cars. From October 1997 to June 1998 the campaign was implemented; during the campaign, seat belt law enforcement was not intensified. In 1998 another inspection survey of 2250 cars was undertaken. RESULTS: The program brought only a …

Induced abortions, miscarriages, and tobacco smoking as risk factors for secondary infertility
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to determine whether induced abortions could increase the risk of secondary infertility. DESIGN--This was a case-control study; cases were women with secondary infertility, individually matched to two controls who were currently pregnant. Each participant was interviewed by one of two medical doctors using a questionnaire that sought information on their demographic, socioeconomic, medical, and reproductive status. Th…
Air pollution and cause specific mortality in Athens
STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to investigate the reported association between air pollution and cause specific mortality in the city of Athens. DESIGN--Cause specific mortality was contrasted between 199 d with high values of air pollution and 2*199 comparison days with low pollution, matched in a 1:2 ratio on the basis of various confounding factors. Statistical analysis was done, taking matching into account, using analysis of variance for rando…
Incomplete right bundle branch block and vital capacity
Right bundle branch block (RBBB) is occasionally encountered in young persons who lack any other evidence of overt cardiac disease (Hiss and Lamb, 1962; Lancaster, Schechter, and Massing, 1972). The block may be complete or incomplete, the latter being more common. Right bundle branch block has been studied in relation to body weight, obesity, serum cholesterol and glucose levels, and blood pressure, but the results have been negative (Ostrander,…
Lipoprotein types, serum cholesterol, and ABO blood groups
Among 48 cases with primary hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP) type II, 27 (56%) were of blood group A, while among 35 cases with primary HLP type IV, only 11 (31%) were of this blood group. The difference is large and statistically significant. Since serum cholesterol levels are fairly or very high in HLP type II, it is suggested that the known weak association between blood group A and serum cholesterol is a reflection of a more direct association bet…
