TL;DR: The project was a successful model for achieving dietary change among rural African Americans and the largest increases were observed among people 66 years or older and those with education beyond high school.

TL;DR: The conditions under which results from the two models approximate one another are described and it is shown that where the follow-up period is short and the disease is generally rare, the regression coefficients of the logistic model approximate those of the proportional hazards model with a constant underlying hazard rate.

TL;DR: The contrasting relation between socioeconomic status and lifestyle depicts different phases of the lifestyle transition (changes in lifestyles accompanying economic development), which may in part explain why nutrition-related noncommunicable diseases are more prevalent in the developing world among people with a high socioeconomic status, whereas often the opposite is found in developed societies.

TL;DR: Black patients' poorer overall survival from localized prostate cancer varies by initial treatment, with the survival gap being largest among patients undergoing surgery.

TL;DR: Chrysotile textile workers were found to experience significantly greater lung cancer mortality at lower lifetime cumulative exposure levels than miners and millers, and factors such as differences in airborne fiber characteristics may partially account for the large differences in exposure response.
