TL;DR: The use of exogenous sex hormones in relation to the risk of rheumatoid arthritis was examined in a cohort of married nurses ages 30-55 followed since 1976 in the Nurses Health Study and data do not show a protective effect of past use of OCs or replacement estrogens for RA.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of blood lead to blood pressure in a longitudinal study of working men
TL;DR: Multivariate analysis revealed that, after correction for previous systolic blood pressure, body mass index, age, and smoking, a high level of blood lead was a significant predictor of subsequent elevation of syStolic pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recall and selection bias in reporting past alcohol consumption among breast cancer cases.
Edward Giovannucci,Meir J. Stampfer,Graham A. Colditz,JoAnn E. Manson,Bernard Rosner,Matthew P. Longnecker,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett +7 more
TL;DR: In the Nurses' Health Study, bias due to selection and recall had only minor effects on reported intake of alcohol consumption, and an elevated risk of breast cancer among women who drank 30 or more g of alcohol daily was demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-dietary factors as risk factors for breast cancer, and as effect modifiers of the association of fat intake and risk of breast cancer

TL;DR: This article found no clear evidence in any subgroups of a major relation between total energy-adjusted fat intake and breast cancer risk, with fat intake being associated nonsignificantly positively with risk among women with a previous history of benign breast disease; no other significant interactions were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic variation in breast cancer incidence rates in a cohort of U.S. women.
Francine Laden,Susan E. Hankinson,Donna Spiegelman,Lucas M. Neas,Graham A. Colditz,David J. Hunter,JoAnn E. Manson,Celia Byrne,Bernard Rosner,Frank E. Speizer +9 more
TL;DR: Little regional variation in age-adjusted breast cancer incidence rates was observed, with the exception of a modest excess for postmenopausal women in California and adjustment for differences in the distribution of established risk factors explained some of the excess in California.
