The use of hormonal replacement therapy and the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction in women
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether there is an association between the use of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) and the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). DESIGN: A case-control study of women with stroke or MI was undertaken. SETTING: The cases were notified from 83 general practices to the coordinating centre at Northwick Park Hospital, where the diagnoses were independently confirmed. SUBJECTS: The cases, 603 white women aged 4…
Skinfold thickness, body mass index and ischaemic heart disease
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between obesity and subsequent incidence of ischaemic heart disease (IHD). DESIGN: Prospective cohort survey. SETTING: Study of three occupational groups, with follow up examinations. SUBJECTS: 3500 people recruited between 1972 and 1978 (80% response rate), and followed up between 1978 and 1984. This report is based on subgroup of 1511 white men aged 40-64 at entry. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: In…

Relation between cigarette smoking and use of hormonal replacement therapy for menopausal symptoms
The aim of this study was to characterise new users of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) for the relief of menopausal symptoms and to compare these women with never-users of HRT; 402 new users and 804 never-users were studied. Hot flushes were the most common symptom in both users and non-users and were the most frequent reason for prescribing HRT. The prevalence of menopausal symptoms in non-users of HRT was high although substantially lower th…
Predictors of mortality and disability in stroke
The increasingly accurate prediction of survival and functional recovery in patients with stroke will be of value in planning both their individual management and the health and social services needed. To establish the independent predictive effects of a range of personal and clinical characteristics, data on 900 patients admitted to Northwick Park Hospital with stroke were analysed by stepwise multiple regression. Older patients who lose conscio…
Ischaemic heart disease mortality risks for smokers and non-smokers
Although many studies have shown that smoking is associated with an increased risk of death from ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and that the increase appears to vary with age and amount smoked, there has been little formal specification or estimation of the relationship. In this paper two alternative models are tested, using data for different ages and levels of smoking from four major studies in three countries. One model explains 80% of the var…

Cigarette smoking patterns during the working day
The rates at which people smoke cigarettes during different periods of the day were obtained from three occupational groups. Group 1 consisted of those working at the main London production site of a food processing factory, Group 2 consisted of those in the administrative offices of the same company; there are smoking restrictions at both. Group 3 consisted of workers in the offices of a London borough where there are no smoking restrictions. Re…
Subacute myelo-optic neuropathy and clioquinol. An epidemiological case-history for diagnosis
Between about 1955 and 1970, some 100,000 Japanese were diagnosed as having subacute myelooptic neuropathy (SMON), a new disease characterized by abdominal and neurological manifestations, the former nearly always preceding the latter. Circumstantial evidence obtained in 1969-70 suggested that SMON might have been caused by clioquinol (CQL), a gastrointestinal disinfectant, and led to the suspension of further sales of CQL in Japan. However, seve…
Acceptability of the cytopipette in screening for cervical cancer
A randomized controlled trial was carried out in which the acceptability of screening for cervical carcinoma in situ by a postal 'do-it-yourself' method--the cytopipette--was compared with that of an invitation to attend a clinic or see a general practitioner for the conventional cervical scrape examination. In parallel with this, a sociological study of women who had been invited by both methods was undertaken in which information was obtained f…
