  • Hypothermia and mortality and morbidity. An epidemiological analysis

    B Herity, Leslie Daly et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1991Cited by: 1References: 2

    STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aim was to identify socioeconomic variables associated with deaths and hospital admissions due to hypothermia and to quantify the risk due to ambient outside temperature. DESIGN--The study was a survey of deaths and hospital admissions due to hypothermia (ICD 991.6), for the period 1979-85 inclusive, identified from death certificates and Hospital Inpatient Enquiry (HIPE) data. SETTING--The study included all deaths and hospi…

  • A study of breast cancer in Irish women

    B A Herity, M J O'Halloran et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1975References: 1

    In a study of 100 women with breast cancer and 200 unaffected women the epidemiological characteristic of breast cancer most commonly described--namely, an excess of nonparous women among cases when compared with controls, was not observed. It is suggested that two factors, a dearth of first births born to mothers under 20 years of age and an unusually high proportion of first births when aged 30 years or more, are responsible for this finding. N…

  • Anencephaly and potato blight in the Republic of Ireland

    J G Masterson, Christine Frost et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1974References: 5

    National potato tuber blight scores in the Republic of Ireland for the years 1961-70 were ascertained and evaluated in relation to incidence of anencephalic births in the following years. No significant relationship between annual tuber blight scores and incidence of anencephaly one year later could be demonstrated. Examination of the records of a maternity hospital for the years before, during, and after the great midnineteenth century potato fa…

  • Distribution of ABO and Rhesus Blood Groups in Relation to Smoking Habit

    G J Bourke, J P O'Riordan et al.ARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1964References: 4

    It has been shown that concordance of smoking habits occurs more frequently in monozygotic than in dizygotic twins (Friberg, Kaij, Dencker, and Jonsson, 1959; Todd and Mason, 1959) even when the identical twins are reared apart (Fisher, 1958). This latter finding confutes the hypothesis of reciprocal influence between the twins as an important cause of concordance and lends support to the view that the genotype is relevant to smoking habits. Afte…
