Participants were followed-up from 1992-1996 and December 31st, 2008 to ascertain vital status and cause of death. PA was evaluated at [...]

Menée en France à partir de questionnaires auprès de 1 486 adolescents âgés de 16 ans, cette étude évalue leur utilisation de la cigarette électronique, identifie les facteurs sociodémographiques associés à cette utilisation, puis analyse la corrélation entre l'expérimentation de la cigarette électronique et les tentatives d'arrêt du tabagisme chez les adolescents fumant des cigarettes

Harm Reduction or Harm Introduction ? Prevalence and Correlates of E-Cigarette Use Among French Adolescents

Rennie, Laura J. ; Bazillier-Bruneau, Cécile ; Rouëssé, Jacques

Purpose : Electronic cigarettes are marketed as a tool to give up or reduce cigarette smoking, and their use has risen sharply in recent years. There is concern that use is increasing particularly among adolescents and that they are not being used as a cessation tool but as a novel experience in their own right. Methods : The present research assessed prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of e-cigarette use and standard cigarette use and also explored the extent to which e-cigarettes [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée jusqu'en mai 2015 (28 études), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre la pratique régulière d'une activité physique de loisir et le risque de cancer du poumon

Leisure-time Physical Activity and Lung Cancer Risk : A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Brenner, Darren R. ; Yannitsos, Demetra H. ; Farris, Megan S. ; Johansson, Mattias ; Friedenreich, Christine M.

Objectives : We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between recreational physical activity and lung cancer risk to update previous analyses and to examine population subgroups of interest defined by smoking status and histology. Materials and Methods : We searched the PubMed and MEDLINE databases for studies up to May 2015. Individual study characteristics were abstracted including study design, number of cases, assessment of recreational physical activity and [...]

Menée auprès de 90 534 participantes préménopausées (durée de suivi : 20 ans), cette étude évalue l'association entre une alimentation riche en fibres au début de l'âge adulte et le risque de cancer du sein (1 118 cas)

METHODS : Among 90 534 premenopausal women who completed a dietary questionnaire in 1991, we documented 2833 invasive BC cases during 20 years of follow-up. In 1998, 44 263 of these women also completed a questionnaire about their diet during high school; among these women, we documented 1118 cases of BC by end of follow-up. Multivariable-adjusted [...]

Methods : The population included 160,578 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) in which 385 incident cases of pancreatic cancer were identified over an average of 8.69 (SD ±4.59) years. All diagnoses were confirmed by medical record and pathology review. Information on statin use and other risk factors was collected at baseline and during [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir des données d'une enquête réalisée entre 2009 et 2013 auprès de 153 276 étudiants âgés de 18 à 26 ans, cette étude analyse l'évolution du taux de vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain puis identifie les facteurs prédictifs associés

Trends and predictors of HPV vaccination among U.S. College women and men

Thompson, Erika L. ; Vamos, Cheryl A. ; Vázquez-Otero, Coralia ; Logan, Rachel ; Griner, Stacey ; Daley, Ellen M.

HPV vaccination was recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices for young adult females in 2006 and males in 2011 to prevent HPV-related cancers and genital warts. As this prevention mechanism continues to disseminate, it is necessary to monitor the uptake of this vaccine. College students represent an important population for HPV vaccination efforts and surveillance due to increased risk for HPV infection and representing a priority population for catch-up HPV vaccination. [...]

Menée dans 4 états américains auprès de 4 086 fumeurs au total (âge moyen : 43,8 ans), cette étude analyse, en fonction de l'âge et de l'origine ethnique des participants, l'utilisation de sites web et de services téléphoniques d'aide au sevrage tabagique, puis compare, du point de vue du taux d'abstinence tabagique à 7 mois, l'efficacité de ces deux modalités d'accompagnement
