Associations Between Gastric Atrophy and Its Interaction With Poor Oral Health and the Risk for Esophageal Squamous Cell...
Published in American journal of epidemiology
Previous findings concerning gastric atrophy as a potential risk factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) have been inconsistent. We aimed to test whether gastric atrophy and, further, its interaction with poor oral health elevated the risk of ESCC in a high-risk region of China. Our population-based case-control study in Taixing, China...
Measuring the Magnitude of Health Inequality Between 2 Population Subgroup Proportions.
Published in American journal of epidemiology
In this paper, we evaluate 11 measures of inequality, d(p1, p2), between 2 proportions p1 and p2, some of which are new to the health disparities literature. These measures are selected because they are continuous, nonnegative, equal to 0 if and only if |p1 - p2| = 0, and maximal when |p1 - p2| = 1. They are also symmetrical [d(p1, p2) = d(p2, p1)]...
Feasibility of Measuring Sedentary Time Using Data From a Thigh-Worn Accelerometer.
Published in American journal of epidemiology
In large-scale cohort studies, sedentary behavior has been routinely measured using self-reports or devices that apply a count-based threshold. We employed a gold standard postural allocation technique using thigh inclination and acceleration to capture free-living sedentary behavior. Participants aged 46.8 (standard deviation (SD), 0.7) years (n =...
Albuminuria, Kidney Function, and Cancer Risk in the Community.
Published in American journal of epidemiology
Few studies have comprehensively investigated the association of 2 key kidney disease measures, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), with cancer incidence. In 8,935 participants at the baseline (1996-1998) from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study, we quantified the associations of eGFR...
Dual-Outcome Intention-to-Treat Analyses in the Women's Health Initiative Randomized Controlled Hormone Therapy Trials.
...Published in American journal of epidemiology
Dual-outcome intention-to-treat hazard rate analyses have potential to complement single-outcome analyses for the evaluation of treatments or exposures in relation to multivariate time-to-response outcomes. Here we consider pairs formed from important clinical outcomes to obtain further insight into influences of menopausal hormone therapy on chron...
Women's Work-Family Histories and Cognitive Performance in Later Life.
Published in American journal of epidemiology
Long-term exposures to the stress and stimulation of different work, parenting, and partnership combinations might influence later life cognition. We investigated the relationship between women's work-family life histories and cognitive functioning in later life. Analyses were based on data from women born between 1930 and 1957 in 14 European count...
Invited Commentary: Opportunities That Come With Studying the Co-Occurrence of Multiple Outcomes.
Published in American journal of epidemiology
In almost all clinical settings, patients are at risk for multiple potential events and, in consultation with health-care providers, must weigh the potential benefits and harms across these events when making decisions. As researchers seek to build an evidence base to inform these decisions, they must contend with a choice as to how they will handl...

Burden of Peripheral Artery Disease on Mortality and Incident Cardiovascular Events.
Published in American journal of epidemiology
Using data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (United States, 2000-2015), 6,527 racially/ethnically diverse adults (mean age, 62 (standard deviation, 10) years) free of known cardiovascular (CVD) had ankle brachial index (ABI) assessment of their bilateral dorsalis pedis/posterior tibial arteries (4 vessels total) and were followed for ...
