Body mass index, serum sex hormones, and breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether the relationship of body mass index (BMI) with serum sex hormone concentrations could be explained by the relationship between BMI and estradiol levels.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating sex hormones and breast cancer risk factors in postmenopausal women: Reanalysis of 13 studies

Timothy J. Key, +55 more
TL;DR: Sex hormone concentrations were strongly associated with several established or suspected risk factors for breast cancer, and may mediate the effects of these factors on breast cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Moderate elevation of body iron level and increased risk of cancer occurrence and death

TL;DR: Evidence, in this cohort, of elevated cancer risk in those with moderately elevated iron level was seen in women as well as in men, and all 3 differences were stable over time when examined by years since blood test.
Journal ArticleDOI

Postoperative Cataract Cases among Atomic Bomb Survivors: Radiation Dose Response and Threshold

TL;DR: The analyses indicated a statistically significant dose–response increase in the prevalence of postoperative cataracts in A-bomb survivors, and the estimate and upper bound of the dose threshold for operative cataract prevalence was much lower than the threshold usually assumed by the radiation protection community and was statistically compatible with no threshold at all.
Journal ArticleDOI

A reanalysis of atomic-bomb cataract data, 2000-2002: a threshold analysis.

TL;DR: The fitness of the threshold model was tested in an updated dataset of the study, utilizing re-diagnosis by a single ophthalmologist, use of the DS02 dosimetry system, and separation of the in utero group to suggest that, in 730 atomic-bomb survivors, thresholds are greater than 0 Sv in cortical cataract and posterior sub-capsular opacity.
