Smoking as a Risk Factor for Prostate Cancer
Objectives. We evaluated the relationship between smoking and adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Methods. We pooled data from 24 cohort studies enrolling 21 579 prostate cancer case participants for a general variance-based meta-analysis. Summary relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated separately for mortality and incidence studies. We tested the robustness of effect measures and evaluated statistical heterogeneity wi…
Pregnancy outcome of migrant women and integration policy
N−3 Fatty acids from fish or fish-oil supplements, but not α-linolenic acid, benefit cardiovascular disease outcomes in primary- and secondary-prevention studies
Huncharek and Kupelnick Respond
We agree with all of the points raised by Marshall et al. Our meta-analysis was designed to address the issue of whether the available epidemiological data support the contention that sunscreen use is associated with an increased risk of melanoma (as suggested by some in the existing literature). Marshall et al. are correct in suggesting that the lack of statistical heterogeneity indicated by the Q statistic for the studies using population contr…
Use of Topical Sunscreens and the Risk of Malignant Melanoma
Objectives. This study examined the methodology of epidemiological studies that suggest use of topical sunscreen preparations is associated with increased risk of malignant melanoma. Methods. We pooled data from observational studies using a general variance–based meta-analytic method that employed confidence intervals (previously described). The outcome of interest was a summary relative risk (RR) reflecting the risk of melanoma associated with …
