Radiation-associated circulatory disease mortality in a pooled analysis of 77,275 patients from the Massachusetts and Canadian tuberculosis fluoroscopy cohorts
High-dose ionising radiation is associated with circulatory disease. Risks associated with lower-dose (<0.5 Gy) exposures remain unclear, with little information on risk modification by age at exposure, years since exposure or dose-rate. Tuberculosis patients in Canada and Massachusetts received multiple diagnostic x-ray fluoroscopic exposures, over a wide range of ages, many at doses <0.5 Gy. ...
متن کاملCancer mortality in a radiation-exposed cohort of Massachusetts tuberculosis patients.
The mortality experience of 13,385 tuberculosis patients treated between 1925 and 1954 in Massachusetts was determined through August 1986. Among 6,285 patients examined by X-ray fluoroscopy an average of 77 times during lung collapse therapy and followed for up to 50 yr (average = 25 yr), no increase in the total number of cancer deaths occurred [standardized mortality ratio (SMR) = 1.05, n = ...
متن کاملCirculatory Disease Mortality in a Canadian Occupational Cohort with Low Dose Exposure to Ionizing Radiation
Exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation, such as those received during radiotherapy, leads to increased risk of circulatory diseases.. Emerging evidence of excess risks of circulatory diseases after exposure to doses well below those considered previously as safe warrants epidemiological studies of populations exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation. The purpose of our study was to eva...
متن کاملEnvironmental inequality and circulatory disease mortality gradients.
STUDY OBJECTIVE Studies in Europe and North America have reported that living in a disadvantaged neighbourhood is associated with an increased incidence of coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to test the hypotheses that exposure to traffic and air pollution might account for some of the socioeconomic differences in mortality rates in a city where residents are covered by universal...
متن کاملA Prospective Cohort Study of Employment Status and Mortality from Circulatory Disorders among Japanese Workers.
This study prospectively examined the association between employment status (employed or self-employed) and the risk of death from circulatory diseases among Japanese workers. A baseline survey was conducted between 1988 and 1990 among 110,792 inhabitants of 45 areas. Follow-up surveys were conducted annually and causes of death were identified from death certificates. Analysis was restricted t...
