Lucas M. Neas,Lucas M. Neas,Douglas W. Dockery,Douglas W. Dockery,Petros Koutrakis,David J. Tollerud,Frank E. Speizer,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that summer occurrences of excessive acid aerosol and particulate pollution are associated with declines in peak expiratory flow rates in children.
Journal Article

Charles S. Fuchs,Walter C. Willett,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,Meir J. Stampfer,Frank E. Speizer,Edward Giovannucci +6 more
TL;DR: Higher intake of folate and methionine, regular use of multivitamins containing folate, and avoidance of moderate to heavy alcohol consumption may diminish the excess risk of colon cancer associated with a family history of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fangyi Gu,Jiali Han,Francine Laden,An Pan,Neil E. Caporaso,Meir J. Stampfer,Ichiro Kawachi,Kathryn M. Rexrode,Walter C. Willett,Susan E. Hankinson,Frank E. Speizer,Eva S. Schernhammer +11 more
TL;DR: Women working rotating night shifts for ≥5 years have a modest increase in all-cause and CVD mortality; those working ≥15 years of rotating night shift work have a small increase in lung cancer mortality, adding to prior evidence of a potentially detrimental effect of rotatingNight shift work on health and longevity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of body fat on ventilatory function in children and adolescents: Cross‐sectional findings from a random population sample of school children
TL;DR: The effect of total body fat as a percentage of weight (TBF%) on ventilatory function in a nationally representative sample of Australian school children aged 9, 12, and 15 years is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of asthma on pulmonary function in children. A longitudinal population-based study.
TL;DR: It is predicted that a female who develops asthma at age 7 would experience a 5% reduction in FEV1 by age 10 and a 7% deficit by age 15, and from this analysis, it would predict that a male who develops asthmatic disease at age 9 would experience an 8% deficit.
