Dieting to Lose Weight and Occurrence of Neural Tube Defects in Offspring of Mexican–American Women
Residential Proximity to Environmental Hazards and Adverse Health Outcomes
How living near environmental hazards contributes to poorer health and disproportionate health outcomes is an ongoing concern. We conducted a substantive review and critique of the literature regarding residential proximity to environmental hazards and adverse pregnancy outcomes, childhood cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, end-stage renal disease, and diabetes. Several studies have found that living near hazardous wastes sites, in…
Disproportionate Proximity to Environmental Health Hazards
We sought to provide a historical overview of methods, models, and data used in the environmental justice (EJ) research literature to measure proximity to environmental hazards and potential exposure to their adverse health effects. We explored how the assessment of disproportionate proximity and exposure has evolved from comparing the prevalence of minority or low-income residents in geographic entities hosting pollution sources and discrete buf…
Validity of parental work information on the birth certificate
Sensitivity of occupation/industry information on birth certificates varies although the specificity of such information may exceed 95%. Quality of this information also varies by maternal and paternal occupation with misclassification as homemaker a limiting factor among maternal and missing information a limiting factor among paternal work information
Maternal Exposures to Cigarette Smoke, Alcohol, and Street Drugs and Neural Tube Defect Occurrence in Offspring
Iron Status Indicators in Women with Prior Neural Tube Defect-Affected Pregnancies
Risk of postmenopausal hip fracture in Mexican American women
To assess the risk of hip fracture in Mexican Americans, the ethnicity of 80 women aged 50 years and over admitted with hip fractures to a Texas hospital was compared with that of age-matched women hospitalized for other reasons. The risk of fracture for Mexican Americans was only 35 per cent that of Whites (95% CI = 19 per cent, 65 per cent). This finding was confirmed in a chart survey performed in a second hospital population. These results su…
Response from Weiss and Brender
Most of us with children of our own realize that they, little conformists that they are, will be striving to be in the 50th percentile for virtually every char- acteristic. Perhaps our most realistic goal for a dietary recommendation is to ask only that, within that percentile, they advance to the upper portion. Any stronger suggestion may run the risk of inciting rebellion against parental authority. Being capable of facing only so many such reb…
Fiber intake and childhood appendicitis
Parents of 135 children with appendicitis and of 212 comparison children were interviewed about their children's diet. Children in the upper two quartiles of fiber intake were estimated to have a 30 per cent lower risk of appendicitis than children in the lowest quartile. Estimated risk of appendicitis decreased as monthly intake of whole-grain foods increased. Children 7 to 18 years of age who had an intake of whole-grain foods in the upper fift…
