Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study of relative weight, height, and risk of breast cancer.
Stephanie J. London,Graham A. Colditz,Meir J. Stampfer,Walter C. Willett,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer +5 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity among premenopausal and early postmenopausal women does not increase breast cancer risk substantially and height is only weakly related among post menopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute effects of summer air pollution on respiratory symptom reporting in children.
Joel Schwartz,Douglas W. Dockery,Lucas M. Neas,David Wypij,James H. Ware,John D. Spengler,Petros Koutrakis,Frank E. Speizer,Benjamin G. Ferris +8 more
TL;DR: There was no evidence that other measures of particulate pollution including aerosol acidity were preferable to PM10 in predicting incidence of respiratory symptoms, and significant associations were found between incidence of coughing symptoms and incidence of lower respiratory symptoms and PM10.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Prospective Study of Past Use of Oral Contraceptive Agents and Risk of Cardiovascular Diseases
TL;DR: It is found that there is no evidence to suggest an increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases among past users of oral contraceptives, even with prolonged previous use.
Journal Article
The relationship between a polymorphism in CYP17 with plasma hormone levels and breast cancer.
Christopher A. Haiman,Susan E. Hankinson,Donna Spiegelman,Graham A. Colditz,Walter C. Willett,Frank E. Speizer,Karl T. Kelsey,David J. Hunter +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the A2 allele of CYP17 modifies endogenous hormone levels, but is not a strong independent risk factor for breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Waist Circumference, Waist: Hip Ratio, and Risk of Breast Cancer in the Nurses' Health Study
Zhiping Huang,Walter C. Willett,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,JoAnn E. Manson,Bernard Rosner,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer,Frank E. Speizer,Susan E. Hankinson,Susan E. Hankinson +10 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that greater waist circumference increases risk of breast cancer, especially among postmenopausal women who are otherwise at lower risk because of never having used estrogen replacement hormones.
