“…The null effect of menopausal status is consistent with the results of previous studies (Pandey and Shukla, 2003;Pagliarulo et al, 2004); however, as the majority of our population was postmenopausal (92.5% controls), we had limited statistical power to assess risk among premenopausal women. In addition, the null effect of oral contraceptive (OC) use is consistent with the results of previous studies on biliary stones (Pagliarulo et al, 2004;Dhiman and Chawla, 2006) and biliary tract cancers (Milne and Vessey, 1991;Chow et al, 1994;Moerman et al, 1994), but the prevalence of OC use in the population is low (20% controls) and we lacked information on duration, composition, dose, and age of use.…”

Furthermore, few subjects received hormone replacement therapy (2.4% controls), which has been associated with gallstones (Uhler et al, 2000;Simon et al, 2001;Chen et al, 2006) and gallbladder cancer (Gallus et al, 2002;Fernandez et al, 2003).…”

“…We must underscore that these figures were referred to the census overall population; so, the apparently increasing rates may have partially obeyed to the higher prevalence of T2DM in the population. However, we believe that having had access to precise estimations of the prevalence rates of T2DM from the Spanish Di@ (17). Moreover, other studies have reported similar crude incidence rates (18).…”

“…As in other Western countries, obesity and closely associated type 2 diabetes are rapidly increasing in Finland (10,11). About 25% of diabetic patients have gallstone disease, and every fifth of the patients come into cholecystectomy (12). Long-term use of statins may be associated with decreased rate of cholelithiasis (13).…”
