Cette étude fait le point sur l'évolution, chez les femmes, des maladies pulmonaires liées au tabagisme

Smoking and pulmonary health in women: A narrative review and behavioral health perspective

Menson, Katherine E. ; Coleman, Sulamunn R. M.

Objective: Cigarette smoking prevalence has declined slower among women than men, and smoking-related pulmonary disease (PD) has risen dramatically among women. Given these trends, there is a critical need to understand and mitigate PD risk among women who smoke. The purpose of this narrative review and commentary is to highlight important evidence from the literature on smoking and PD among women. Methods: This review focuses broadly on examining cigarette smoking and PD among women within six [...]

Menée à partir de données internationales portant sur 723 326 personnes (durée médiane de suivi : au moins 11 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre l'obésité, l'activité physique ou l'alimentation et le risque de cancer des voies biliaires (839 cas)

Dietary intake, obesity, and physical activity in association with biliary tract cancer risk: Results from meta-analyses of individual-level data from prospective cohort studies of 723,326 adults

Gunchick, Valerie ; Wen, Wanqing ; Jia, Guochong ; Roberts, Lewis R. ; Koshiol, Jill ; Shu, Xiao-Ou ; Zheng, Wei

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) is a rare and aggressive malignancy with increasing incidence. Most BTC cases are diagnosed with metastatic disease which carries a 5-year survival rate of <5%. Physical activity, diet, and obesity might be associated with BTC risk, but studies have been limited particularly in African descendants. We addressed this knowledge gap by evaluating associations of BTC risk with obesity, physical activity, and dietary intakes in 723,326 adult participants in four cohort [...]

A partir d'une revue systématique de la littérature publiée jusqu'en octobre 2023 (4 études, 50 402 patientes), cette méta-analyse évalue l'association entre une utilisation de médicaments antipsychotiques et le risque de cancer gynécologique

The incidence risk of gynecological cancer by antipsychotic use: a meta-analysis of 50,402 patients

de Moraes, Francisco Cezar Aquino ; Sudo, Renan Yuji Ura ; Souza, Maria Eduarda Cavalcanti ; Fernandes, Marianne Rodrigues ; dos Santos, Ney Pereira Carneiro

Background: Female gynecological cancers represent a serious public health problem, with 1,398,601 new diagnoses and 671,875 deaths per year worldwide. Antipsychotics are often used in psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depression. It is estimated that the prescription of these drugs is linked to 1,800 deaths a year in the United States, but their association with cancer remains controversial. Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science [...]

Menée à partir de données de la cohorte américaine "the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study" portant sur 49 104 personnes (durée de suivi : 30 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre une appendicectomie et le risque de cancer de la prostate (7 253 cas)

Appendectomy and Risk of Prostate Cancer in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study

Zhang, Yiwen ; Feng, Xiaotong ; Giovannucci, Edward L.

Appendectomy is a common surgical procedure to treat appendicitis. Limited studies have examined its association with prostate cancer, with one large cohort study suggesting a significantly increased risk of overall and advanced prostate cancer, especially among younger men.A total of 49,104 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study were followed from 1986 to 2016. Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate the association between self-reported history of appendectomy and [...]

Menée à partir des données d'une étude portant sur 2 176 personnes (45 % d'hommes ; âge médian : 63 ans), cette étude analyse l'association entre une obésité et le risque de myélome multiple (849 cas) en fonction de l'origine ethnique et du sexe

Background: Obesity is an established modifiable risk factor for multiple myeloma (MM). However, associations of obesity and MM risk in Black populations, for whom obesity and MM are more common, is less clear. Methods: Using participants enrolled in the Integrative Molecular And Genetic Epidemiology study, we evaluated the association of anthropometric traits with MM risk overall, stratified by race and sex. Among cases, we assessed the association of BMI with the presence of myeloma-defining [...]
