Chemicals of concern in select packaged hair relaxers available on the Kenyan market
Background: There is an emerging interest in the investigation of hair relaxers as important sources of exposure to chemicals of concern (CoCs) and their associated adverse health effects. We focused on documentation of CoCs by examining labels of selected relaxers currently available on the market in Nakuru and Embu Counties, Kenya and measured the pH profiles to ensure compliance with Kenya Bureau of Standards. Methods: We enrolled 746 women ag…
Family Functioning and Pubertal Maturation in Hispanic/Latino Children from the HCHS/SOL Youth
Previous studies have examined the association between family dysfunction and pubertal timing in adolescent girls. However, the evidence is lacking on the role of family dysfunction during sensitive developmental periods in both boys and girls from racial and ethnic minority groups. This study aimed to determine the effect of family dysfunction on the timing of pubertal maturation among US Hispanic/Latino children and adolescents. Participants we…
Air Pollution and Breast Cancer Risk
Global obesity epidemic and rising incidence of early-onset cancers
Background: Incidence of early-onset cancers at multiple organ sites has increased worldwide in recent decades. We investigated whether such increasing trends could be explained by trends in obesity. Methods: We obtained incidence data for 21 common cancers among 25-49-year-olds during 2000-2012 in 42 countries from the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents database. Nine cancers we examined have been classified as obesity-related by the Internatio…
Hair Dye and Relaxer Use among Cisgender Women in Embu and Nakuru Counties, Kenya
Despite widespread use of hair products globally, little is known about the prevalence and patterns of use in populations outside the United States. As some hair products contain endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) and EDCs have been linked to breast cancer, which is increasing globally, in this study, we addressed key knowledge gaps about hair product use and practices, and perceptions of use among women in two counties in Kenya. Using communi…
Immigrant generation status and its association with pubertal timing and tempo among H ispanic girls and boys
PURPOSE: In the United States, Hispanic-Latino children reach puberty earlier on average than non-Hispanic white children. Yet among U.S. Hispanic/Latino children, pubertal timing comparisons between immigrant generations have not been made, hence we examined whether pubertal timing differs by immigrant generational status, independent of BMI and acculturation measures. METHODS: Cross-sectional data on 724 boys and 735 girls, aged 10-15 years, fr…
Metabolic syndrome in adults with autistic traits
These findings underline the relevance of adequate cardiovascular prevention in adults with higher levels of autistic traits. Future research could gain more insight into the relationship between cardiovascular risk and autistic traits in females, and into tailored cardiovascular prevention
Cancer Education Interventions in Adolescents
Given the long induction time of many cancers and the fact that modifiable risk factors (e.g., cigarette smoking) including preventive factors (e.g., human papillomavirus [HPV] vaccination, healthy dietary and physical activity patterns) are influenced in adolescence, educating adolescents about cancer causation and risk reduction may have a large impact on reducing the cancer burden. We conducted a systematic review of literature evaluating the …

Environmental Influences on Mammographic Breast Density in California
State legislation in many U.S. states, including California, mandates informing women if they have dense breasts on screening mammography, meaning over half of their breast tissue is comprised of non-adipose tissue. Breast density is important to interpret screening sensitivity and is an established breast cancer risk factor. Environmental chemical exposures may play an important role in this, especially during key windows of susceptibility for b…

P1-33 Adult DNA methylation in relation to prenatal nutrition and risk factors for cardio-vascular disease
Epigenetic changes may play an important role in the development of adult disease. Exposure to a prenatal famine environment has been associated with a persistent decrease in DNA methylation of the IGF2 gene, and other early life factors like birthweight with adult genomic DNA methylation. We evaluated genomic DNA methylation in relation to prenatal nutrition and CVD risk factors. Our study includes 353 births from three clinics with prenatal exp…

The estimated frequency of cosmetic breast augmentation among US women, 1963 through 1988
Estimates ranging from 1 to 2 million have been used to describe the number of women in the United States who have had cosmetic breast implants. Original data from a historical cohort study of women with breast augmentation were combined with simulation techniques to compute new estimates grounded on a more objective set of information and assumptions than previous attempts. It was estimated that the number of women who had cosmetic augmentation …
