BACKGROUND Studies on natural hazard mortality are most often hazard-specific (e.g. floods, earthquakes, heat), event specific (e.g. Hurricane Katrina), or lack adequate temporal or geographic coverage. This makes it difficult to assess mortality from natural hazards in any systematic way. This paper examines the spatial patterns of natural hazard mortality at the county-level for the U.S. from...
The USDA Automated Multiple-Pass Method accurately estimates group total energy and nutrient intake.
The imperative to address the national obesity epidemic has stimulated efforts to develop accurate dietary assessment methods suitable for large-scale applications. This study evaluated the performance of the USDA Automated Multiple-Pass Method (AMPM), the computerized dietary recall designed for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey dietary survey, and 2 epidemiological methods ...
Diet is a major lifestyle-related risk factor of various chronic diseases. Dietary intake can be assessed by subjective report and objective observation. Subjective assessment is possible using open-ended surveys such as dietary recalls or records, or using closed-ended surveys including food frequency questionnaires. Each method has inherent strengths and limitations. Continued efforts to impr...
OBJECTIVES This study aims to test the validity of the IPD-Work Consortium approach for creating comparable job strain groups between the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ) and the Demand-Control Questionnaire (DCQ). MATERIAL AND METHODS A random population sample (N = 682) of all middle-aged Malmö males and females was given a questionnaire with the 14-item JCQ and 11-item DCQ for the job contr...
The task of identifying genetic determinants for complex, multigenetic diseases is hampered by small studies, publication and reporting biases, and lack of common standards worldwide. The authors propose the creation of a network of networks that include groups of investigators collecting data for human genome epidemiology research. Twenty-three networks of investigators addressing specific dis...
This editorial is oriented to reflect on the need for a transition an empowered and resilient leadership of nursing professionals as fundamental axis strong, competent, health systems face epidemiologic, social, economic, political, cultural challenges from globalized, complex, demanding world.
BACKGROUND The model of epidemiologic transitions has served as a guiding framework for understanding relationships between patterns of human health and disease and economic development for the past several decades. However, epidemiologic transition theory is infrequently employed in epidemiology. OBJECTIVE Moving beyond Omran's original formulation, we discuss critiques and modifications of ...
A prospective study of half a million adults living in the city of Chennai (formerly Madras) arose out of discussions at the 1994 International Cancer Congress in Delhi about how to assess the effects of tobacco on health in different parts of India. Chennai is the capital of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, and it is India’s fourth most populous city. Two large-scale epidemiological studi...
It is apparent from the results of the 1995 and 1998 surveys reported by Kimm et al in this issue of Pediatrics that pediatricians are interested in blood pressure and lipids but uncertain about the management of these coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. Data from longitudinal epidemiologic studies initiated in pediatric cohorts support the important role for pediatricians in the detecti...
I n their paper Subramanian and colleagues show us that both individual and community level health and happiness tend to covary but that the community level health-happiness covariation is quite a bit stronger than that for individuals. Their approach is novel in that they examine the covariation in these two outcomes nested within individuals who are in turn nested within USA communities. The ...
