Risk of Recurrence and Mortality in a Multi-Ethnic Breast Cancer Population
Getting Risk Right
Hyping Health Risks
The media constantly bombard us with news of health hazards lurking in our everyday lives, but many of these hazards turn out to have been greatly overblown. According to author and epidemiologist Geoffrey C. Kabat, this hyping of low-level environmental hazards leads to needless anxiety and confusion on the part of the public concerning which exposures have important effects on health and which are likely to have minimal or no effect. Kabat appr…
Dietary and lifestyle correlates of passive smoking in Hong Kong, Japan, Sweden, and the U.S.A
From epidemiologic studies in several countries, passive smoking has been associated with increased risk for lung cancer, respiratory diseases, and coronary heart disease. Since the relative risks derived from those studies are weak, i.e. relative risk less than two, we investigated whether poorer diets and less healthy lifestyles might act as confounders and be correlated with having a smoking husband on a cross-cultural basis. Characteristics o…
Comparison of smoking habits of blacks and whites in a case-control study
Information from Blacks and Whites interviewed in a case-control study of tobacco-related diseases was analyzed to identify explanatory factors for racial differences in smoking habits. Blacks were three times more likely to be light vs heavy smokers. This association did not differ according to such variables as cigarette preference, degree of inhalation, or quitting. The association of race and light smoking was present in both current and ex-s…

Determinants of quitting smoking
Factors associated with quitting smoking were examined in 3,778 male and 1,486 female ever-smoking patients hospitalized with non-tobacco-related conditions interviewed between 1977 and 1985. Quitters were defined as those who had stopped smoking at least one year prior to admission. More than 80 per cent of male and female quitters had stopped more than five years prior to diagnosis. The lifetime quit rate (no. ex-smokers/no. ever smokers) X 100…
