The North West Adelaide Health Study: detailed methods and baseline segmentation of a cohort for selected chronic diseases
Tập 3 Số 1 - 2006
AbstractThe North West Adelaide Health Study is a population-based biomedical
cohort study investigating the prevalence of a number of chronic conditions and
health-related risk factors along a continuum. This methodology may assist with
evidence-based decisions for health policy makers and planners, and inform
health professionals who are involved in chronic disease prevention and
management, by ...
Measuring additive interaction using odds ratios
- 2006
AbstractInteraction measured on the additive scale has been argued to be better
correlated with biologic interaction than when measured on the multiplicative
scale. Measures of interaction on the additive scale have been developed using
risk ratios. However, in studies that use odds ratios as the sole measure of
effect, the calculation of these measures of additive interaction is usually
performed...
Translational methods in biostatistics: linear mixed effect regression models of alcohol consumption and HIV disease progression over time
Tập 4 Số 1 - 2007
AbstractLongitudinal studies are helpful in understanding how subtle
associations between factors of interest change over time. Our goal is to apply
statistical methods which are appropriate for analyzing longitudinal data to a
repeated measures epidemiological study as a tutorial in the appropriate use and
interpretation of random effects models. To motivate their use, we study the
association of...
Fitting additive Poisson models
Tập 7 Số 1 - 2010
AbstractThis paper describes how to fit an additive Poisson model using standard
software. It is illustrated with SAS code, but can be similarly used for other
software packages.
Using the National Health Interview Survey to understand and address the impact of tobacco in the United States: past perspectives and future considerations
- 2008
Abstract Objective The National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) is a continuous,
nationwide, household interview survey of the civilian noninstitutionalized
population of the United States. This annual survey is conducted by the National
Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention. Since 1965, the survey and its supplements have provided data on
issues relat...
Attributing the burden of cancer at work: three areas of concern when examining the example of shift-work
Tập 8 Số 1 - 2011
AbstractThis commentary intends to instigate discussions about epidemiologic
estimates and their interpretation of attributable fractions (AFs) and the
burden of disease (BOD) of cancers due to factors at workplaces. By examining
recent work that aims to estimate the number of cancers attributable to
shift-work in Britain, we suggest that (i) causal, (ii) practical and (iii)
methodological areas o...
Carcinogen metabolism, cigarette smoking, and breast cancer risk: a Bayes model averaging approach
- 2010
AbstractBackgroundStandard logistic regression with or without stepwise
selection has the disadvantage of not incorporating model uncertainty and the
dependency of estimates on the underlying model into the final inference. We
explore the use of a Bayes Model Averaging approach as an alternative to analyze
the influence of genetic variants, environmental effects and their interactions
on disease.M...
