Abstract

Moderate alcohol consumption may lower the risk of death in the middle-aged and elderly population. Researchers analyzed 46,000 deaths among 490,000 men and women surveyed. Participants, mostly white and middle-class, filled out lifestyle questionnaires in 1982 and were resurveyed in 1991. Deaths from cardiovascular disease were 30-40% lower in moderate drinkers compared to nondrinkers. Deaths from breast cancer, however, were 30% higher in women who had at least one drink daily. The lowest overall death rates were found in men and women who drank about one drink each day.

Abstract

Objectives. THe purpose of this study was to identify behaviors associated with change in body mass index or with weight gain at the waist. Methods. A cohort of 79 236 White, non-Hispanic, healthy adults was questioned in 1982 and 1992 about diet and 10 physical activities. Estimates were made of the mean effects of stable behaviors on 10-year change m body mass index and on odds ratios for gain at the waist. Results. Ten-year change in body ass index was associated positively with meat consumption and smoking cessation and inversely with vegetable consumption, vitamin E supplementation, continued smoking and some vigorous activities (e.g., jogging/running). Women's body mass index decreased with walking 4 or more hours per week and with regular alcohol intake, but these behaviors had a smaller effect on men's body mass index. Waist gain was inversely associated with high vegetable consumption, walking 4 or more hours per week, and jogging/running 1 to 3 hours per week but not with less demanding physical activities. Conclusions. Simple description of behaviors associated with weight loss or reduced abdominal obesity may enhance programs designed to prevent obesity and chronic diseases.

Abstract

Lung cancer may have become the leading cause of death among smokers, with a special emphasis on women. Researchers compared death rates from major diseases among non-smokers and smokers collected by the American Cancer Society during the 1960s and the 1980s. This white middle-class population included more than 200,000 current cigarette smokers and more than 400,000 non-smokers. Cause of death shifted from heart disease and stroke to lung cancer in the 1980s. Per 100,000 smokers, lung cancer death rates increased from 26 to 155 among women and from 187 to 341 among men over a period of 20 years. In addition, the overall death rates from smoking of women smokers rose from 16.7% to 47.4% during the same period. Younger smokers died less frequently from lung cancer in the recent study compared to patterns seen in the 1960s. The death rates of men and non-smokers, on the other hand, did not vary much over time.
