TL;DR: In white adults, overweight and obesity (and possibly underweight) are associated with increased all-cause mortality and the hazard ratios for the men were similar.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective Study of Serum Vitamin D and Cancer Mortality in the United States
TL;DR: The results do not support an association between vitamin D and total cancer mortality, although there was an inverse relationship between 25(OH)D levels and colorectal cancer mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk of Cataract after Exposure to Low Doses of Ionizing Radiation: A 20-Year Prospective Cohort Study among US Radiologic Technologists
Gabriel Chodick,Nural Bekiroglu,Michael Hauptmann,Michael Hauptmann,Bruce H. Alexander,D. Michal Freedman,Michele M. Doody,Li C. Cheung,Steven L. Simon,Robert M. Weinstock,André Bouville,Alice J. Sigurdson +11 more
TL;DR: Findings challenge the National Council on Radiation Protection and International Commission on Radiological Protection assumptions that the lowest cumulative ionizing radiation dose to the lens of the eye that can produce a progressive cataract is approximately 2 Gy and support the hypothesis that the highest cataracts produced in humans is substantially less than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In a pooled analysis of 20 prospective studies, Cari Kitahara and colleagues find that class III obesity is associated with excess rates of total mortality, particularly due to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased risk of second primary cancers after a diagnosis of melanoma.
TL;DR: Melanoma survivors have an approximately 9-fold increased risk of developing subsequent melanoma compared with the general population, and this increased risk remains elevated more than 20 years after the initial melanoma diagnosis.
