Cancer incidence in the vicinity of open landfills in Guadeloupe, French West Indies
A link between exposure to pollutants generated by a landfill and the risk of developing certain cancers was suggested but should be confirmed by additional studies involving a better characterization of exposure and control of potential confounders
Cancer Survivors in Saint Lucia Deeply Value Social Support: Considerations for Cancer Control in Under-Resourced Communities
Understanding the views of cancer survivors on their experience is important for informing community-based interventions. We studied, for the first time, the views of cancer survivors residing in Saint Lucia on their overall care experience. We used interview data from a cohort of adult cancer survivors from Saint Lucia between 2019 and 2020. We performed a thematic analysis to derive themes from codes. Forty-four survivors provided responses to …
Lung Cancer in the French West Indies: Role of Sugarcane Work and Other Occupational Exposures
These results show that occupational exposures contributed to lung cancer risk in the French West Indies, and highlighted the role of exposures related to sugarcane work
Occupational socioeconomic risk associations for head and neck cancer in Europe and South America: Individual participant data analysis of pooled case–control studies within the Inhance Consortium
BACKGROUND: The association between socioeconomic disadvantage (low education and/or income) and head and neck cancer is well established, with smoking and alcohol consumption explaining up to three-quarters of the risk. We aimed to investigate the nature of and explanations for head and neck cancer risk associated with occupational socioeconomic prestige (a perceptual measure of psychosocial status), occupational socioeconomic position and manua…
Social distribution of tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and obesity in the French West Indies
Women of high socio-economic status were significantly more likely to be smokers, whereas alcohol drinking in men and obesity in women were inversely associated with socioeconomic status
Diverging trends in educational inequalities in cancer mortality between men and women in the 2000s in France
Although social inequalities in cancer mortality are still high among men, an encouraging trend is observed. Among women though, the situation regarding social inequalities is less favourable, mainly due to a health improvement limited to higher educated women. These inequalities may be expected to further increase in future years
Investigation of occupational and environmental causes of respiratory cancers (Icare): A multicenter, population-based case-control study in France
The large number of subjects should allow to uncover exposures associated with moderate increase in risks, and to evaluate risks associated with infrequent or widely dispersed exposures. It will be possible to study joint effects of exposure to different occupational risk factors, to examine the interactions between occupational exposures, tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, and genetic risk factors, and to estimate the proportion of respiratory c…
Socioeconomic inequalities in cause specific mortality among older people in France
This study suggests that the large contribution of cancer deaths to the excess mortality among low educated people that was observed among middle aged men in Latin Europe is not observed among French people aged 75 years and more. This should be confirmed among other Latin Europe countries
Social inequalities in mortality by cause among men and women in France
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare inequalities in mortality (all causes and by cause) by occupational group and educational level between men and women living in France in the 1990s. METHODS: Data were analysed from a permanent demographic sample currently including about one million people. The French Institute of Statistics (INSEE) follows the subjects and collects demographic, social and occupational information from the census …
Les inégalités sociales de santé au Québec
Partout dans le monde, on constate non seulement la persistance, mais bien le creusement des inégalités en matière de santé. Le Québec ne fait pas exception : on a estimé qu'environ cinq ans d'espérance de vie et près de quinze années de vie en bonne santé y séparent les populations les plus défavorisées des groupes les plus avantagés. Cet écart ne s'explique qu'en partie par l'inégale répartition des ressources matérielles. Les causes sont à l'é…
Changes in Socioeconomic Inequalities in Cancer Mortality Rates Among French Men Between 1968 and 1996
Objectives. We investigated changes in socioeconomic inequalities in cancer mortality rates among men in France between 1968 and 1996. Methods. We used a representative sample of 1% of the French population and studied 4 periods (1968–1974, 1975–1981, 1982–1988, and 1990–1996). Causes of death were obtained by direct linkage with the French national death registry. The socioeconomic position of men aged 35 to 59 years was measured by using the oc…
Socioeconomic inequalities in premature mortality in France: Have they widened in recent decades
The Aids threat to Southeast Asians and U.S. military personnel
Southeast Asia is rapidly becoming the new epicenter of HIV infection. Many experts, including Congressman Dr. Jim McDermott (D., WA) and epidemiologists at the World Health Organization (WHO), project that by the year 2000, 6 to 10 million Thais will be HIV positive. These Thais will represent nearly one fourth of HIV-positive people worldwide. Thailand's health ministry estimates that at present over 400,000 Thai people are HIV infected
A study of the interaction of alcohol drinking and tobacco smoking among French cases of laryngeal cancer
Laryngeal cancer represents an important cause of cancer in France, and the individual effects of alcohol and tobacco on this cancer site are well known. However the problem of the interaction between these agents is less extensively documented, and the role of the high consumptions of alcohol has not been studied frequently. A case-control analysis was undertaken to investigate the joint effect of alcohol and tobacco by comparing 197 glottic and…
