This study presents perceptions of the harmfulness of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) relative to combustible cigarettes among smokers from six European Union (EU) countries, prior to the implementation of the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), and 2 years post-TPD.Data were drawn from the EUREST-PLUS ITC Europe Surveys, a cohort study of adult smokers (≥18 years) from Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Spain. Data were collected in 2016 (pre-TPD: N = 6011) and 2018 (post-TPD: [...]

Menée en Suède par questionnaire auprès de 29 451 hommes et de 25 349 femmes (durée de suivi : 15,4 ans), cette étude analyse l'effet du respect des recommandations concernant l'activité physique, le régime alimentaire, la consommation d'alcool et l'utilisation de compléments alimentaires sur le risque de cancer (12 693 cas)

Adherence to the WCRF/AICR 2018 recommendations for cancer prevention and risk of cancer: prospective cohort studies of men and women

Kaluza, Joanna ; Harris, Holly R. ; Håkansson, Niclas ; Wolk, Alicja

Background: In 2018, the World Cancer Research Fund/American Institute for Cancer Research (WCRF/AICR) issued revised recommendations for cancer prevention. We examined the relation between adherence to these recommendations and risk of total cancer in two population-based Swedish prospective cohorts (29,451 men and 25,349 women). Methods: Standardized-WCRF/AICR 2018 and simplified-WCRF/AICR 2018 adherence scores were constructed based on the WCRF/AICR recommendations for body weight, physical [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis à partir des données d'une enquête réalisée sur la période 2014-2017 auprès de 78 265 adolescents, cette étude analyse les comportements tabagiques des jeunes utilisant pour la première fois la cigarette électronique

Association of initial e-cigarette and other tobacco product use with subsequent cigarette smoking in adolescents: a cross-sectional, matched control study

Shahab, Lion ; Beard, Emma ; Brown, Jamie

Introduction: This study assessed whether initiating e-cigarette use increases the uptake of cigarette smoking in US adolescents compared with behavioural and synthetic controls. Methods: Data come from 78 265 adolescents in the National Youth Tobacco Survey (2014–2017) of whom 38 630 provided information about the first tobacco product they had used in 2014/15. Ever, past 30 day and established (30 day use and 100+ lifetime cigarettes) cigarette smoking was compared in adolescents who first [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée entre 1989 et 2019 (20 études), cette méta-analyse évalue l'effet d'une supplémentation en inuline ou en amidon résistant sur le risque de cancer colorectal

Non-Digestible Carbohydrate and the Risk of Colorectal Neoplasia: A Systematic Review

Rao, Mingyue ; Gao, Chenlin ; Hou, Jing ; Gu, Junling ; Law, Betty Yuen Kwan ; Xu, Yong

Non-digestible carbohydrate (NDC) is a fiber that can be fermented into short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) in gut, represented by resistant starch (RS) and inulin. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignant cancer. Pre-clinical studies have reported that NDC can produce SCFAs to protect the gut epithelium, which is associated with prevention of CRC, but this role in clinical trails is controversial. In this review, we discusses whether RS and inulin should be offered to [...]

Mené aux Etats-Unis auprès de 762 mères ne souhaitant pas faire vacciner leur enfant âgé de 11 à 14 ans contre le papillomavirus humain, cet essai randomisé évalue l'intérêt d'ajouter, aux recommandations groupées, des messages ciblant les préoccupations parentales sur la vaccination anti-HPV

Tailored Messages Addressing Human Papillomavirus Vaccination Concerns Improves Behavioral Intent Among Mothers: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Panozzo, Catherine A. ; Head, Katharine J. ; Kornides, Melanie L. ; Feemster, Kristen A. ; Zimet, Gregory D.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine whether supplementing a bundled recommendation (recommendation for all 11- to 12-year-old platform vaccines) with tailored messaging that addressed one versus all parental concerns improved human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination intent among mothers. Methods: We conducted a Web-based randomized controlled trial, randomizing mothers who did not intend to vaccinate their 11- to 14-year-old child against HPV to (1) bundled recommendation video [...]

Menée aux Etats-Unis, cette étude estime, du point de vue des coûts, du nombre de cancers du poumon évités et de la mortalité associée, l'effet d'une stratégie de communication des données cartographiques géologiques indiquant le risque radon pour convaincre les propriétaires de faire tester leur habitation

Economic valuation of health benefits from using geologic data to communicate radon risk potential

Chiavacci, Scott J. ; Shapiro, Carl D. ; Pindilli, Emily J. ; Casey, Clyde F. ; Rayens, Mary Kay ; Wiggins, Amanda T. ; Andrews, William M. ; Hahn, Ellen J.

Background: Radon exposure is the second leading cause of lung cancer worldwide and represents a major health concern within and outside the United States. Mitigating exposure to radon is especially critical in places with high rates of tobacco smoking (e.g., Kentucky, USA), as radon-induced lung cancer is markedly greater among people exposed to tobacco smoke. Despite homes being a common source of radon exposure, convincing homeowners to test and mitigate for radon remains a challenge. A new [...]
