Body size over the adult life course and the risk of colorectal cancer among postmenopausal women
Objective: To assess the associations among several anthropometric measures, as well as BMI trajectories and colorectal cancer (CRC) risk in older women. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Forty clinical centres in the USA. Participants: Totally, 79 034 postmenopausal women in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study. Results: During an average of 15·8 years of follow-up, 1514 CRC cases were ascertained. Five BMI trajectories ove…
Mortality disparities between Black and White Americans mediated by income and health behaviors
BACKGROUND: Race disparities in health outcomes including mortality risk are well known, but mediating mechanisms that link race to mortality risk have rarely been formally tested. METHODS: We analyzed public NHANES III data from 1988 to 1994 linked to mortality outcomes prospectively through 2015. Participants included 10,460 non-Hispanic Black (40.5%, n = 4233) and non-Hispanic White (59.5%, n = 6227) adults. Proportional hazards regression mod…
Air Pollution Increases Depression Risk Among Young Women
Air pollution may contribute to depression risk, but prospective incidence studies of risks and resiliencies for young women have not been undertaken. We analyzed prospective cohort data from the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health combined with air pollution exposure data from the National Pollutant Inventory. We followed 7804 women without baseline depression who were aged 21–26 years at baseline for up to 14 years. Cox proportional…

Accuracy of self-reported weight in the Women’s Health Initiative
Objective To assess the extent of error present in self-reported weight data in the Women’s Health Initiative, variables that may be associated with error, and to develop methods to reduce any identified error. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting Forty clinical centres in the USA. Participants Women ( n 75 336) participating in the Women’s Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI-OS) and women ( n 6236) participating in the WHI Long Life S…
Social Relationships and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Among Postmenopausal Women
Social support, social strain, and stressful life events were associated with diabetes risk among postmenopausal women independently of demographic factors and health behaviors. In addition to healthy behaviors such as diet and physical activity, healthy social relationships among older women may be important in the prevention of diabetes
Increased Cancer Screening for Low-income Adults Under the Affordable Care Act Medicaid Expansion
BACKGROUND: We tested whether Medicaid expansion under the Affordable care Act was associated with increased screening for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer among low-income adults. METHODS: We analyzed Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System data, identifying 2012 as preexpansion and 2016 as postexpansion (2014 was treated as a wash-out, and 2013 and 2015 had missing screening data from most states). States (including District of Columb…
Identifying Multiple Risks of Low Birth Weight Using Person-Centered Modeling
Environmental Carcinogen Releases and Lung Cancer Mortality in Rural-Urban Areas of the United States
PURPOSE: Environmental hazards are unevenly distributed across communities and populations; however, little is known about the distribution of environmental carcinogenic pollutants and lung cancer risk across populations defined by race, sex, and rural-urban setting. METHODS: We used the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) database to conduct an ecological study at the county level (a total of 3,141 counties). Multiple linear regressions were used to …
