Modifiable risk factors for prostate cancer mortality in London: forty years of follow-up in the Whitehall study

TL;DR: There was a suggestion that marital status, blood cholesterol, and height were risk indices for death from prostate cancer, although statistical significance was not apparent in all analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflation in epidemiology: “The proof and measurement of association between two things” revisited

TL;DR: Comparison of the results reported in different ways reveals the degree to which such “corrections” can alter the picture, and the validity of applying the particular corrections which are used has to be taken on trust.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of the solute niobium or molybdenum with grain boundaries in α-iron

TL;DR: In this article, a 3DAP was used to estimate solute-grain boundary interactions for Nb or Mo in α-Fe, and a width of solute segregation of 1.0-2.0 nm was measured by extending a few atom layers on both side of grain boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevalence and functionality of paucimorphic and private MC4R mutations in a large, unselected European British population, scanned by meltMADGE.

TL;DR: It is suggested that obesity‐causing MC4R mutation at 1 in 1,100 might represent one of the commonest autosomal dominant disorders in man, and meltMADGE, suitable for mutation scanning at the population level is described.
