Journal ArticleDOI
Use and misuse of population attributable fractions.
TL;DR: Computational and conceptual issues relevant to population attributable fraction estimation that are infrequently discussed elsewhere are considered, with illustrations from the breast cancer literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validation of the Gail et al. Model of Breast Cancer Risk Prediction and Implications for Chemoprevention
TL;DR: The Gail et al. model 2 fit well in this sample in terms of predicting numbers of breast cancer cases in specific risk factor strata but had modest discriminatory accuracy at the individual level, which has implications for use of the model in clinical counseling of individual women.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Study of Recreational Physical Activity and Breast Cancer Risk
Beverly Rockhill,Walter C. Willett,David J. Hunter,JoAnn E. Manson,Susan E. Hankinson,Graham A. Colditz +5 more
TL;DR: Women who were more physically active in adulthood had a lower risk of breast cancer than those who were less physically active, contributing to the body of evidence suggesting that higher levels of adult physical activity afford modest protection against breast cancer.
Journal Article
Cigarette smoking, N-acetyltransferases 1 and 2, and breast cancer risk.
Robert C. Millikan,Gary S. Pittman,Beth Newman,Chiu Kit J. Tse,Ornella I. Selmin,Beverly Rockhill,David A. Savitz,Patricia G. Moorman,Douglas A. Bell +8 more
TL;DR: There was little evidence for modification of smoking effects according to genotype, except among postmenopausal women, and future studies of NAT genotypes and breast cancer should investigate the effects of environmental tobacco smoke, diet, and other exposures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical activity and mortality: a prospective study among women.
Beverly Rockhill,Walter C. Willett,JoAnn E. Manson,Michael F. Leitzmann,Meir J. Stampfer,David J. Hunter,Graham A. Colditz +6 more
TL;DR: Part of the link between physical activity and mortality risk is probably spurious and difficult to remove analytically; however, on the basis of epidemiologic evidence, much of the health benefit of activity is real.
