Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in one second in children 6 to 11 years of age.
TL;DR: Sex- and race-specific lung function development is described for this sample of preadolescent children, and regression analysis showed that height, race, and sex are the most important predictors of lung function.
Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective study of NAT2 acetylation genotype, cigarette smoking, and risk of breast cancer.
David J. Hunter,Susan E. Hankinson,Heather L. Hough,Dorota M. Gertig,M Garcia-Closas,Donna Spiegelman,JoAnn E. Manson,Graham A. Colditz,Walter C. Willett,Frank E. Speizer,Karl T. Kelsey +10 more
TL;DR: Little evidence of an association between NAT2 genotype and breast cancer is observed in this prospective study of mainly Caucasian US women, and cigarette smoking was not appreciably associated with breast cancer among either slow or fast NAT2 acetylators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Change in pulmonary function in children associated with air pollution episodes.
Douglas W. Dockery,James H. Ware,Benjamin G. Ferris,Frank E. Speizer,Nancy R. Cook,Stanislaw M. Herman +5 more
TL;DR: Pulmonary function of approximately 200 school children in Steubenville, OH was measured before and immediately following air pollution alerts in the fall of 1978 and 1979 and in the spring and fall of 1980.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic Particulate Exposure, Mortality, and Coronary Heart Disease in the Nurses’ Health Study
Robin C. Puett,Joel Schwartz,Jaime E. Hart,Jeff D. Yanosky,Frank E. Speizer,Helen Suh,Christopher J. Paciorek,Lucas M. Neas,Francine Laden +8 more
TL;DR: In this population, increases in such exposures were associated with increases in all-cause and CHD mortality and body mass index and smoking modified the association between exposure to particulate matter <10 microm in diameter and fatal CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predictors of selenium concentration in human toenails
David J. Hunter,J. S. Morris,Christopher G. Chute,E. Kushner,Graham A. Colditz,Meir J. Stampfer,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: A dietary selenium score calculated from a food frequency questionnaire failed to predict toenail selenIUM level, demonstrating the suspected inability of diet questionnaires to measure individual selenum intake because of the highly variable selenarium composition of different samples of the same food.
