Menée aux Etats-Unis par enquête auprès de 5 759 fumeurs, cette étude analyse l'effet d'une consommation de menthol sur les tentatives de sevrage tabagique à court ou à long terme (30 jours ou 12 mois), en fonction de l'âge, du sexe et de l'origine ethnique

Effects of menthol use and transitions in use on short-term and long-term cessation from cigarettes among US smokers

Leas, Eric C ; Benmarhnia, Tarik ; Strong, David R ; Pierce, John P

Objectives: To estimate the effect of menthol use and transitions in use (switching to or from menthol) on short-term and long-term cessation from cigarette smoking and whether this differed across demographic groups (age, sex, race). Methods: We compared the probability of 30+ day and 12-month abstinence from cigarette smoking by menthol use status using two cohorts of US adult cigarette smokers who attempted to quit smoking in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (wave 1 to wave 3 [...]

Menée en Suède auprès de 44 572 participants ayant réalisé au moins 2 bilans de santé sur la période 1985-2008 (durée moyenne de suivi : 11 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre le respect de recommandations pour un mode de vie sain et le risque de développer l'un des huit cancers potentiellement évitables (sein, poumon, intestin, vessie, rein, estomac, oesophage et pancréas)

Impact of achievement and change in achievement of lifestyle recommendations in middle-age on risk of the most common potentially preventable cancers

Usher-Smith, Juliet A. ; Häggström, Christel ; Wennberg, Patrik ; Lindvall, Kristina ; Strelitz, Jean ; Sharp, Stephen J. ; Griffin, Simon J.

This study aimed to assess the association between achievement, and within-person change in achievement, of lifestyle recommendations in middle-age and incidence of the most common potentially preventable cancers. We used data from 44,572 participants from the Swedish Västerbotten Intervention Programme who had attended at least two health checks 9–11 years apart. We assessed the association between the mean number of healthy lifestyle recommendations achieved (lifestyle score), and change in [...]

Menée à partir d'une modélisation mathématique, cette étude identifie des stratégies de vaccination contre le papillomavirus humain permettant l'élimination du cancer du col de l'utérus dans des pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire (Viêtnam, Inde, Nigéria, Ouganda)

Optimal human papillomavirus vaccination strategies to prevent cervical cancer in low-income and middle-income countries in the context of limited resources: a mathematical modelling analysis

Background: Introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination has been slow in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) because of resource constraints and worldwide shortage of vaccine supplies. To help inform WHO recommendations, we modelled various HPV vaccination strategies to examine the optimal use of limited vaccine supplies and best allocation of scarce resources in LMICs in the context of the WHO global call to eliminate cervical cancer as a public health problem.
