Association between socioeconomic status and pain, function and pain catastrophizing at presentation for total knee arthroplasty
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Patients with higher socioeconomic status (SES) are shown to have better total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes compared to those with lower SES. The relationship between SES and factors that influence TKA use ... -
Association between socioeconomic status and self-reported diabetes in India: a cross-sectional multilevel analysis
(BMJ Group, 2012)Objectives: To quantify the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and type 2 diabetes in India. Design: Nationally representative cross-sectional household survey. Setting: Urban and rural areas across 29 states ... -
The Association Between Talc Use and Ovarian Cancer: A Retrospective Case–Control Study in Two US States
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)Background: Multiple studies of ovarian cancer and genital talc use have led only to consensus about possible carcinogenicity. Seeking greater clarity, we examined this association in 2,041 cases with epithelial ovarian ... -
Association Between the Plasma/Whole Blood Lead Ratio and History of Spontaneous Abortion: A Nested Cross-Sectional Study
(BioMed Central, 2007)Background: Blood lead has been associated with an elevated risk of miscarriage. The plasmatic fraction of lead represents the toxicologically active fraction of lead. Women with a tendency to have a higher plasma/whole ... -
The association between the ratio of monocytes:lymphocytes at age 3 months and risk of tuberculosis (TB) in the first two years of life
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: Recent transcriptomic studies revived a hypothesis suggested by historical studies in rabbits that the ratio of peripheral blood monocytes to lymphocytes (ML) is associated with risk of tuberculosis (TB) disease. ... -
Association between Traffic-Related Black Carbon Exposure and Lung Function among Urban Women
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)Background: Although a number of studies have documented the relationship between lung function and traffic-related pollution among children, few have focused on adult lung function or examined community-based populations. ... -
Association between umbilical cord glucocorticoids and blood pressure at age 3 years
(BioMed Central, 2008)Background: Animal data show that decreased activity of placental 11-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11β-HSD2), which potently inactivates glucocorticoids (e.g. cortisol) to inert forms (cortisone), allows increased ... -
Association between Virus-Specific T-Cell Responses and Plasma Viral Load in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Subtype C Infection
(American Society for Microbiology, 2003)Virus-specific T-cell immune responses are important in restraint of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) replication and control of disease. Plasma viral load is a key determinant of disease progression and ... -
Association between XPF Polymorphisms and Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Background: Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group F (XPF or ERCC4) plays a key role in DNA repair that protects against genetic instability and carcinogenesis. A series of epidemiological studies have examined ... -
The Association of a SNP Upstream of INSIG2 with Body Mass Index is Reproduced in Several but Not All Cohorts
(Public Library of Science, 2007)A SNP upstream of the INSIG2 gene, rs7566605, was recently found to be associated with obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI) by Herbert and colleagues. The association between increased BMI and homozygosity for the ... -
Association of Adiposity Indices with Platelet Distribution Width and Mean Platelet Volume in Chinese Adults
(Public Library of Science, 2015)Hypoxia is a prominent characteristic of inflammatory tissue lesions. It can affect platelet function. While mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) are sample platelet indices, they may reflect ... -
Association of alcohol consumption with selected cardiovascular disease outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2011)Objective To conduct a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis of studies assessing the effect of alcohol consumption on multiple cardiovascular outcomes. Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources ... -
Association of Blood Lead Levels with Onset of Puberty in Russian Boys
(National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)Background: Epidemiologic studies suggest a temporal trend of earlier onset and longer duration of puberty, raising concerns regarding the potential impact of environmental factors on pubertal development. Lead exposure ... -
Association of body mass index and waist circumference with successful ageing: 16 year follow-up of the Whitehall II study
(2013)Objective: We examined whether midlife body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) predict successful ageing. Design and Methods BMI/WC were assessed in 4869 persons (mean age 51.2, range 42–63 in 1991/93) and ... -
Association of Body Mass Index in Early Adulthood and Middle Age with Future Site-Specific Cancer Mortality: The Harvard Alumni Health Study
(Oxford University Press, 2012)Background:: The association between adiposity in early adulthood and subsequent development of specific malignancies is unclear. Further, the potential for mediation by adiposity in middle age has not been well examined. ... -
The association of body size in early to mid-life with adult urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin levels among night shift health care workers
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Adult body mass index (BMI) has been associated with urinary melatonin levels in humans; however, whether earlier-life body size is associated with melatonin, particularly among night shift workers, remains ... -
Association of breast feeding with early childhood dental caries: Japanese population-based study
