- The Association of Body Mass Index with Pancreatic Cancer: Variation by Age at Body Mass Index AssessmentAbstractHigher body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer in epidemiologic studies but BMI has usually been assessed at older ages, potentially underestimating the full impact of excess weight. We examined the association between BMI and pancreatic cancer mortality among 963,317 adults aged 30-89 years at enrollment into Cancer Prevention Study-II in 1982. During follow-up through 2014, 8,354 participants died of
- LIFE EXPECTANCY DISPARITIES AMONG ADULTS WITH HIV IN THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA: THE IMPACT OF A REDUCTION IN DRUG- AND ALCOHOL-RELATED DEATHS USING THE LIVES SAVED SIMULATION (LISSO) MODELAbstractImprovements in life expectancy among people with HIV (PWH) receiving antiretroviral treatment in the United States and Canada may differ among key populations. Given the difference in substance use among key populations and the current opioid epidemic, drug- and alcohol-related deaths maybe contributing to the disparities in life expectancy. We sought to estimate in life expectancy at age 20 in key populations (and their comparison group
- Distinguishing Causation from Correlation in the Use of Correlates of Protection to Evaluate and Develop Influenza VaccinesAbstractThere is increasing attention on the need to identify new immune markers for the evaluation of existing and new influenza vaccines. Immune markers that could predict individual protection against infection and disease, commonly called “correlates of protection” (CoPs), play an important role in vaccine development and licensing. Here, we discuss the epidemiological considerations when evaluating immune markers as potential CoPs for influe
- Comparison of Approaches for Equating Different Versions of the MMSE Administered in 22 StudiesAbstractThe Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) is one of the most widely used cognitive screening tests in the world. However, its administration and content differs by country and region, precluding direct comparison of scores across versions. Our objective was to compare two methods of deriving comparable scores across MMSE versions. The International Neuropsychological Normative Database Initiative collected MMSE scores on over 120,000 individuals
- State School Policies as Predictors of Physical and Mental Health: A Natural Experiment in the REGARDS CohortAbstractWe used differences in state school policies as natural experiments to evaluate the joint influence of educational quantity and quality on late-life physical and mental health. Using US census microsample data, historical measures of state compulsory schooling and school quality (term length, student-teacher ratio, and attendance rates) were combined via regression modeling on a scale corresponding to years of education (Policy Predicted
- Incidence of initial renal replacement therapy over the course of kidney disease in childrenAbstractThe prospective Chronic Kidney Disease in Children cohort with data collected from 2003 to 2018 provided the first opportunity to characterize the incidence of renal replacement therapy (RRT) initiation over the life course of pediatric kidney diseases. Parametric generalized gamma models were fit and extrapolated for overall RRT, and by specific modality (dialysis or preemptive transplant). Children were stratified by diagnosis: n=650 wi
- Thyroid incidentalomas in association with low-dose computed tomography in the National Lung Screening TrialAbstractAdvances in cancer screening methods have opened avenues for incidental findings and cancer overdiagnosis. We performed a secondary analysis of the National Lung Screening Trial (enrollment from 2002-2004), a randomized controlled trial comparing low-dose computed tomography (LDCT, n=26,722) to chest radiography (CXR, n=26,732) for lung cancer detection, to examine incidental findings related to thyroid cancer (ThCa).

- Social Media as an Emerging Data Resource for Epidemiologic Research: Characteristics of Social Media Users and Non-users in the Nurses' Health Study IIAbstractWith advances in natural language processing and machine learning, researchers are leveraging social media as a low-cost, low-burden method to measure various psychosocial factors. Yet, it is unclear whether information derived from social media is generalizable to broader populations, especially middle-aged and older adults. Using data from the Nurses' Health Study II (2017-2018; n=49,045) including women aged 53-70 years, we assessed di
- The critical importance of asking good questions: The role of epidemiology doctoral training programsAbstractEpidemiologic methods have seen tremendous advances in the last several decades. As important as they are, even the most sophistical approaches are unable to provide meaningful answers when the user lacks a clear study question. And yet instructors have more and more resources on how to conduct studies and analyze data, but few resources on how to ask clearly defined study questions that will guide those methods. Training programs have li
- The Changing Science of HIV Epidemiology in the U.SAbstractIn 1984, a large prospective study of the natural history of HIV infection, the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study (MACS), was established; ten years later, the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) was launched. Motivated by the merger and redesign of these long-standing HIV cohort studies in 2019, we review ways in which HIV epidemiology in the U.S. has transformed over the life of these studies and how this evolution has influenced planning
- Religious Service Attendance, Religious Coping, and Risk of Hypertension in Women Participating in the Nurses' Health Study IIAbstractThe association between religious service attendance, religious coping, and hypertension is unclear. Prospective research and assessment of potential mediators is needed to understand this relationship. From 2001-2013, we prospectively followed 44,281 non-hypertensive women who provided information on religious service attendance and religious coping in the Nurses' Health Study II. Cox regression and mediation analyses were conducted to a
- Growth During Infancy and Early Childhood and Its Association with Metabolic Risk Biomarkers at 11.5 YearsAbstractThe evidence that fetal life and early infancy are “critical” or “sensitive” ages for later cardiometabolic disease is based on flawed methods for comparing different age periods. Moreover, most previous studies have limited their focus to weight gain, rather than growth in length/height or body mass index (BMI). We undertook a secondary analysis of PROBIT (1996-2010), a birth cohort study nested within a large cluster-randomized trial in
- Heterogeneous Exposure Associations in Observational Cohort Studies: The Example of Blood Pressure in Older AdultsAbstractHeterogeneous exposure associations (HEAs) can be defined as differences in the association of a exposure with an outcome among subgroups that differ by a set of characteristics. This manuscript intends to foster discussion of HEAs in the epidemiological literature, and present a variant of the random forest algorithm that can be used to identify HEAs. We demonstrate the use of this algorithm in the setting of the association of systolic

- Soft tissue conduction is the third mode of auditory stimulationThe article by Hosoi et al. “Cartilage conduction as the third pathway for sound transmission” [1] states that cartilage conduction is the third pathway, in addition to air conduction (AC) and bone conduction (BC), for sound transmission to the ear. That conclusion is based on their analysis that cartilage conduction is distinct from AC and BC. However, the classification of sound transmission pathways leading to auditory sensation should be base

- Anthropometric rather than ethnic factors may explain differences in the incidence of Alzheimer'‐type neuropathologysAbstract Suemoto et al. (6) reported differences in neuropathological lesions in the very old and younger individuals from a large Brazilian autopsy study as being possibly related to ethnic factors. In previous work the same authors demonstrated that African ancestry was inversely correlated with neuritic plaques, but not with neurofibrilary tangles, compared to Caucasian ancestry (5), suggesting also that unknown genetic variants or environmen
