Fractures and lifestyle: effect of cigarette smoking, alcohol intake, and relative weight on the risk of hip and forearm fractures in middle-aged women.
TL;DR: It was found that smoking was not a risk factor for hip and forearm fracture and women who drank more than 15 grams of alcohol per day and whose relative weight was less than 21 kg/m2 were at increased risk of fractures, but these risk factors were not independent.

TL;DR: It would be premature to recommendacetaminophen avoidance for patients with asthma, but further research on pulmonary responses to acetaminophen is necessary to confirm or refute these findings and to identify subgroups whose asthma may be modified by acetaminphen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Type of postmenopausal hormone use and risk of breast cancer: 12-year follow-up from the Nurses' Health Study
Graham A. Colditz,Meir J. Stampfer,Walter C. Willett,David J. Hunter,JoAnn E. Manson,Charles H. Hennekens,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer +7 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that long-term past use of estrogen replacement therapy is not related to risk, that current estrogen use increases risk of breast cancer to a modest degree, and that the addition of progesterone does not remove the increased risk observed with current use of unopposed estrogen.
Journal Article

Benjamin G. Ferris,Frank E. Speizer,John D. Spengler,Douglas W. Dockery,Bishop Y,M. Wolfson,C. Humble +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a study of health effects of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter was carried out in a cohort of adults 25 to 74 years of age in 6 communities who will be followed prospectively.

Risk factors for childhood respiratory disease. The effect of host factors and home environmental exposures.
