Geomorphic and Forest Cover Controls on Monsoon Flooding, Central Nepal Himalaya
Richard Marston, Jack Kleinman, Maynard Miller, Geomorphic and Forest Cover Controls on Monsoon Flooding, Central Nepal Himalaya, Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 16, No. 3, In Memoriam: Barry Chapman Bishop, 1932-1994 (Aug., 1996), pp. 257-264
Regional trends in cigarette smoking behaviour in the United States
Correspondence and requests for reprints to : Dr Stephen E Marcus, Analytical Studies Branch, National Institute of Dental Research, 5333 Westbard Avenue, Room 522, Bethesda, Maryland 20892, USA. Abstract Objective To examine trends in cigar ette smoking behaviour by region of the United States from 1965 to 1987. Design Survey. Setting US population. Participants Random population based samples (9000 to 89000) of adults aged ^ 20 years from 12 na…
Smoking before, during, and after pregnancy
We report the first national data on smoking before, during, and after pregnancy. Estimates are based on the 1986 Linked Telephone Survey that reinterviewed 1,550 White women 20-44 years of age who were respondents to the 1985 National Health Interview Survey. An estimated 39 percent of White women who had smoked before pregnancy quit smoking while pregnant (27 percent when they found out they were pregnant and 12 percent later during pregnancy).…

National trends in the use of preventive health care by women
This study investigates national changes between 1973-74 and 1985 in women's use of three preventive health services based on data from the National Health Interview Survey. Smoothed proportions of women with recent preventive care were estimated using weighted least squares for subgroups categorized by age (20-39, 40-59, 60-79), race (White, Black), income (poor, nonpoor), and year of interview. Older women and Black women experienced the larges…
Maternal smoking during pregnancy
Using a multisource birth defects registry developed by the Missouri Center for Health Statistics for the years 1980-83, we examined the relation between maternal smoking during pregnancy and the occurrence of congenital malformations. There were 288,067 live singleton births in this data set of which 10,223 had one or more congenital malformations. When adjusted for potential confounders the odds ratio for congenital malformations in the infants…
Longitudinal study of physical ability in the oldest-old
Based on 1984 data from the Longitudinal Study on Aging, one-third of White persons aged 80 or older living in the community (N = 1,791) were defined as having no difficulty in walking 1/4 of a mile, in lifting 10 pounds, in climbing 10 steps without resting, or in stooping, crouching or kneeling. Physical ability was associated with lower risk of death over two years mean follow-up; Relative odds (RO) = .4 (95 percent confidence interval = .4, .…
Trends in mortality caused by respiratory distress syndrome in the United States, 1969-83
Using United States vital statistical data we examined trends in infant deaths from Respiratory Distress Syndrome/Hyaline Membrane Disease (RDS/HMD) for 1969 to 1983, by race and age at death. In order to improve comparability of diagnosis across two revisions of the International Classification of Diseases, deaths from RDS/HMD were ascertained using both underlying and associated causes of death. These data document a 2 per cent per year increas…
Smoking during pregnancy, 1967-80
Data from two national samples of live births to married mothers (the 1967 and 1980 National Natality Surveys) were used to document changes in smoking during pregnancy. Smoking among married teenagers remained essentially constant between 1967 and 1980. For married mothers age 20 and over, the prevalence of smoking during pregnancy decreased from 40 to 25 per cent among Whites and 33 to 23 per cent among Blacks. There were striking differences i…
Further comments on 'State trends in infant mortality
In an earlier Journal article' we described the similarity of risks for lung cancer between New-Mexican Hispanic and non-Hispanic white cigarette smokers based on a subset of cases and controls from our study. Additional in- terviewing among the sex-ethnic sub- groups with fewer subjects has in- creased the' size of our case series among Hispanic males (from 101 to 124) and females (from 45 to 58) and non- Hispanic females (from 128 to 193)

State trends in infant mortality, 1968-83
This paper presents an analysis of state trends in infant mortality rates (IMRs) for 1968-83. In order to take into account the large random error component associated with state IMRs, weighted least squares estimates are used to fit log-linear models to these trends. Using simulated data, these estimates are shown to be nearly unbiased and to provide valid significance tests. However, the power to detect changes in trend is rather limited, espec…
National and state trends in use of prenatal care, 1970-83
Using birth certificate data, national trends in prenatal care use are examined for White and Black mothers overall, as well as for 10 separate subgroups defined by marital status, maternal age, and educational attainment. The per cent of Black mothers with early prenatal care increased each year during the 1970s but the average annual percentage point increase for 1976-80 (1.2) was smaller than that for 1970-75 (2.3). Furthermore, the per cent o…
The relationship between hip fracture and water fluoridation
Data from the 1973-1977 National Health Interview Surveys were used to determine whether water fluoridation prevents hip fractures related to osteoporosis. No protective effect was found for fluoride levels of 0.7 ppm, the level recommended for the prevention of dental caries. There are some indications that higher concentrations of fluoride might have a protective effect for groups with a high incidence of osteoporosis. However, no determination…

Who is being screened for cervical cancer
Data from the 1973 National Health Interview Survey, a probability sample of the United States population, are used to examine the relationship between Pap testing and four socioeconomic variables. It was found that women at highest risk of cervical cancer are least likely to have had Pap tests. The proportion of women who report never having had a Pap test is greater among Blacks, the poor, the elderly and nonmetropolitan residents. In particula…
The effects of changes in smoking habits on coronary heart disease mortality
Coronary heart disease (CHD) mortality declined by about 20 per cent between 1965 and 1976. During the same period there were substantial decreases in the proportion of adults who smoked based on data from the National Health Interview Survey (HIS). This study examines the extent to which changes in smoking can account for the decrease in CHD mortality for men and women aged 35-64 years. By applying US smoking levels (estimated from HIS) to data …
Age-adjusted mortality indexes for small areas
This study compares four age-adjusted mortality indexes and their standard errors among United States counties using 1969-1971 mortality data. It is shown that the direct and indirect methods of age adjustment give nearly identical results (correlation coefficients over .97). Two other indexes which indirectly adjust for age are then compared with the usual indirect method: one is the relative mortality index and the other an index of productive …
