SON ML. A cohort mortality study of painters and allied tradesmen. Scand J Work En viron Health 12 (1986) 16-21. A cohort study was conducted of the membershipof a large international union of painters and allied tradesmen. The union membership consisted of both painters and associated trades such as glaziers and tile and carpet layers. The study examined the mortality experience of 57 175 current and former union members in four states
SUMMARY An epidemiological study was conducted of geographic differences in stroke mortality between the following areas within the United States: Savannah, Georgia (high stroke rates), Hagerstown, Maryland (intermediate stroke rates) and Pueblo, Colorado (low stroke rates). Population samples 35-54 years of age of the three cities were drawn for interview and examination to determine medical conditions and living habits of these populations. The population samples were compared with emphasis on possible risk factors for stroke: serum cholesterol and glucose tolerance test determinations, weight and height measurements, blood pressure and cigarette smoking. The gradient of increasing prevalence of strokerelated risk factors from low to intermediate to high for the three cities was present for blood pressure in black females and white males and for glucose tolerance tests in whites and nonwhites. No other consistent pattern of increasing prevalence of risk factors for stroke was evident.THREE AREAS, Savannah, Georgia with a high mortality from stroke, Pueblo, Colorado with a low and Hagerstown, Maryland, with an intermediate mortality from stroke were selected to explore possible reasons for mortality differences.1 In each area a population sample was selected for interview and medical examination in an attempt to elucidate explanatory factors. In all, 2,375 subjects were interviewed, of whom 1,939 were examined. Laboratory determinations, blood pressure measurements, and ECG readings were obtained on at least 97% of those examined. This is a report of the results of the study.
To evaluate the relationship between pregnancy weight gain and placental abruption, Missouri's population-based, maternally linked, longitudinal dataset (1989-2005, n = 1,146,935) was assessed. Regardless of baseline body mass index, women who gained less than the optimal amount recommended by the Institute of Medicine had a 67% increased likelihood of placental abruption (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] for placental abruption = 1.673; 95%CI = 1.588-1.762) compared with those who gained an optimal amount of weight, while those who gained more than the recommended optimal amount of weight had a 30% reduced AOR for placental abruption (AOR = 0.695, 95%CI = 0.660-0.731). These findings underscore the importance of maternal weight management as part of preconception care to improve pregnancy outcomes.
SUMMARY An epidemiological study was conducted to determine the geographical variations in stroke mortality among three U.S. areas. They were Savannah, Georgia (high stroke rates), Hagerstown, Maryland (intermediate stroke rates) and Pueblo, Colorado (low stroke rates). In each area samples were drawn of the population in the 35-54 age group. The subjects were interviewed and examined to obtain the information required on medical conditions and/or living habits which would characterize each area. A brief medical and family history, as well as demographic and personal data, were obtained by interview. The medical examination included blood pressure, ECG, blood and urine chemistry, height and weight. In all three cities the response rate in the final sample selected was 90% (2375 individuals) interviewed and 74% (1,939 individuals) examined.
