Does vitamin d deficiency account for ethnic differences in tuberculosis seasonality in the UK
The results from Birmingham are very striking, but there were almost three times as many patients in the ISC ethnic group as in indigenous 'white' patients. A series with larger numbers of 'white' patients would be necessary to confirm the absence of seasonality in the 'white' population. The discussion reviews the evidence that vitamin D may have an important hormonal role in immunological defence in the prevention of tuberculosis
Seasonal variation in coronary heart disease in Scotland
STUDY OBJECTIVE--Seasonality of coronary heart disease (CHD) was examined to determine whether fatal and non-fatal disease have the same annual rhythm. DESIGN--Time series analysis was carried out on retrospective data over a 10 year period and analysed by age groups ( 75 years) and gender. SETTING--Data by month were obtained for the years 1962-71. The Registrar General provided information on deaths and the Research and Intelligence Unit of the…
Changing seasonality of birth--a possible environmental effect
STUDY OBJECTIVE--Seasonality of birth was examined to determine whether this has changed over the last half century. DESIGN--Time-series analysis was carried out on retrospective data, both for the full 50 year period and for the five decades within that period. Although the primary objective was to investigate seasonality by fitting an appropriate model and examining changes over the period studied, non-seasonal trends were also examined. SETTIN…
