“…Status of milk consumption as a preventive factor for lung cancer is debatable. Some earlier epidemiological studies have documented it as a causative factor and some other studies have recognized it as a preventive factor (Axelsson et al, 2002;Ahn et al, 2007;Davoodi et al, 2013). Current study strengthens the role of this suspect determinant as a preventive variable.…”

Background: Lung cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies in the world and both incidence and mortality rates are continuing to rise in Pakistan. However, epidemiological studies to identify common lung cancer determinants in the Pakistani population have been limited. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective case-control study, 400 cases and 800 controls were enrolled from different hospitals of all provinces of Pakistan. Information about socio-demographic, occupational, lifestyle and dietary variables was extracted by questionnaire from all subjects. Odd ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. and dose-response associations were also assessed for suitable factors.

“…hormonal factors or the presence of larger fat depots in women could be resulting in greater accumulation of some lipophilic toxic contaminants, such as organic solvents, organochlorines, additives, pesticides, etc.) (33). High consumption of milk may reflect an overall high dietary fat intake (particularly saturated fatty acids) or milk may contain growth factors (such as insulin-like growth factor I) or large amounts of estrogens and progesterone associated with cancer risk (34).…”

SUMMARYAim: This paper investigates the correlation between liver cancer mortality and consumption of food-groups in Serbia. Methods: We conducted an ecological study. The study comprised the population of the Republic of Serbia (about 7.5 million inhabitants) during the period 1991-2010. This ecological study included the data on food consumption per capita which were obtained by the Household Budget Survey and mortality data for liver cancer made available by the National Statistical Office. Linear trend model was used to assess a trend of age-adjusted liver cancer mortality rates (per 100,000 persons) that were calculated by the method of direct standardization using the World Standard Population. Pearson correlation was performed to examine the association between liver cancer mortality and per capita food consumption quantified with a correlation coefficient (r value).Results: In Serbia, over the past two decades a significantly decreasing trend of liver cancer mortality rates has been observed (p < 0.001). Liver cancer mortality was significantly (p < 0.01) positively correlated with animal fat, beef, wine and spirits intake (r = 0.713, 0.631, 0.632 and 0.745, respectively). A weakly positive correlation between milk consumption and mortality from liver cancer (r = 0.559, p < 0.05) was found only among women. The strongest correlation was found between spirits consumption and liver cancer mortality rates in women (r = 0.851, p < 0.01). A negative correlation between coffee consumption and age-adjusted liver cancer mortality rates was found (r = −0.516, p < 0.05) only for the eldest men (aged 65 years or older).Conclusions: Correlations between liver cancer and dietary habits were observed and further effort is needed in order to investigate a possible causative association, using epidemiological analytical studies.

“…In the latter, higher birthrates, longer nursing, and more frequent lactational amenorrhea (Wood 1994) Turner 2011). In addition to greater estrogen from lowfiber/high-fat diets, women in industrialized societies may add more estrogen to the circulation from consumption of dairy products, in particular from dairy cattle bred to lactate year-round (Davoodi et al 2013). According to the model of low estrogen as a deficiency disease, a typical low-fat, high-fiber, and dairy-free hunter-gatherer diet should increase risk for metabolic disease vs. a high-fat, low-fiber Western diet.…”

Anyone seeking to learn more about the subject of menopause 1 will find standard clinical and public health policy interpretations readily and prominently available. A simple Internet search for the word "menopause" returns numerous websites from reputable online medical resources 2 , all of which provide roughly the same, narrow definition: menopause is the complete cessation of menstruation, and occurs twelve months after the final menstrual period, usually between 45-55 years of age. Along with these definitions, much of the accompanying health information addresses symptoms, risk for associated diseases, and treatment options. This information fits the overall medical paradigm that menopause is not simply Epidemiological evidence indeed shows that the period surrounding and following menopause is associated with an increased prevalence of disease and disease risk factors, particularly those relating to the metabolic syndrome including weight gain, body composition change, obesity, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance, all of which increase risk for heart attack, stroke, and type 2 diabetes (Torrens et al. 2009;Enns and Tiidus 2010). In the AbstractMenopause normally occurs between 45-55 years of age, marks the end of a woman's reproductive lifespan, and is accompanied by a reduction in estrogen that has substantial physiological effects. The standard medical view is that these changes underlie high postmenopausal disease rates, defining menopause as an estrogen deficiency condition needing treatment. This view stems from the idea that extended postmenopausal longevity is a consequence of recent technological developments, such that women now outlive their evolutionarily-programmed physiological functional lifespan. Increasingly, however, researchers employing an evolutionary medicine framework have used data from comparative demography, comparative biology, and human behavioral ecology to challenge the mainstream medical view. Instead, these data suggest that a two-decade human postmenopausal lifespan is an evolved, species-typical trait that distinguishes humans from other primates, and has deep roots in our evolutionary past. This view rejects the inevitability of high rates of postmenopausal disease and the concept of menopause as pathology. Rather, high postmenopausal disease risk likely stems from specific lifestyle differences between industrialized societies and foraging societies of the type that dominated human evolutionary history. Women in industrialized societies tend to have higher estrogen levels during premenopausal life, and experience a greater reduction in estrogen across menopause than do women living in foraging societies, with potentially important physiological consequences. The anthropological approach to understanding postmenopausal disease risk reframes the postmenopausal lifespan as an integral period in the human lifecycle, and offers alternative avenues for disease prevention by highlighting the importance of lifestyle effects on health.
