Endogenous sex hormones and incident fracture risk in older men: the Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Data on the influence of gonadal hormones on incident fracture risk in elderly men are limited. We prospectively examined the relationship between serum levels of testosterone and estradiol [...] mass spectrometry. The incidence of a low-trauma fracture was ascertained during follow-up. RESULTS: During follow-up, 113 men had at least 1 low-trauma fracture. The risk of fracture was significantly increased [...] ne is independently associated with the risk of osteoporotic fracture and...

Interaction between gas cooking and GSTM1 null genotype in bronchial responsiveness: results from the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increased bronchial responsiveness is characteristic of asthma. Gas cooking, which is a major indoor source of the highly oxidant nitrogen dioxide, has been associated with respiratory symptoms [...] is known about the effect of gas cooking on bronchial responsiveness and on how this relationship may be modified by variants in the genes GSTM1, GSTT1 and GSTP1, which influence antioxidant defences.

Respiratory health in cleaners in northern Europe: is susceptibility established in early life? (Publications)
Interaction of occupational cleaning with early life disadvantage (maternal smoking, severe respiratory infection 35 years) was investigated. MAIN RESULTS: Among 2138 ever-cleaners the risks of wheeze (OR [...] Occupational cleaners had increased risk of asthma and self-reported COPD. Respiratory symptom risk was particularly increased in persons with factors suggestive of early life disadvantage. We hypothesize [...] personal smoking's detrimental effects.
