Abstract

"In the Netherlands net [immigration] is larger for men than for women. Recently the mean age of the migrants has risen (at the moment the maximum is around 25 years). Most migrants are not married. The demographic characteristics of the migrants differ from the Dutch population.... Although external migration slows down the ageing of the Dutch population, it does not stop this process."

Meat, fat, and their subtypes as risk factors for colorectal cancer in a prospective cohort of women.

The authors investigated the association of intakes of meat and fat with colorectal cancer in a prospective cohort of women in the United States. Between 1987 and 1989, 45,496 women completed a 62-item National Cancer Institute/Block food frequency questionnaire, and during 386,716 person-years of follow-up, there were 487 incident cases of colorectal cancer. The authors used Cox proportional hazards regression to estimate relative risks and 95% confidence intervals for total meat, red meat, white meat, processed meat, and well-done meat intakes, as well as for total fat, saturated fat, and unsaturated fat. Relative risks for increasing quintiles of total meat and red meat consumption indicated no association with colorectal cancer (relative risk for high compared with low quintile = 1.10, 95% confidence interval: 0.83, 1.45) for red meat. For total fat, there was also no association with increasing quintiles of consumption (relative risk for high compared with low quintile = 1.14, 95% confidence interval: 0.86, 1.53). Additionally, none of the other subtypes of either meat or fat showed any association with colorectal cancer. This study provided no evidence of an association between either meat or fat (or any of their subtypes) and colorectal cancer incidence, but the authors cannot rule out the possibility of a modest association.

Assessment of clinical characteristics, management practices, and activities of geriatric horses.

OBJECTIVE: To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics, management practices, and owner perception of a population of geriatric horses, and to compare these data with findings in a group of younger horses. DESIGN: Original study. ANIMALS: 218 horses. PROCEDURE: Data were collected via a survey tool from owners of 165 horses that were > or = 20 years of age and 53 horses that were < 20 years of age. RESULTS: Compared with young horses, the geriatric group included a significantly greater number of ponies; geriatric horses were also more likely to have a history of colic, dental disease, tumors, lameness, and pituitary disease, but not laminitis, diarrhea, allergies, respiratory tract disease, thyroid disease, or fractures. Horses that had participated in Western equestrian disciplines were more likely to have a history of lameness. Among old horses, those with pituitary dysfunction were more likely to have a history of laminitis than those without pituitary dysfunction. Geriatric horses were more likely to have long hair and shedding abnormalities than were younger horses. Owners perceived their horses as old at approximately 22 years of age. In horses older than 16.5 years of age, age was a negative factor in the purchase of horses. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Geriatric and young horses share some similar health problems, but old horses have distinct health problems and veterinary medical requirements. The management and athletic history of horses may influence health as they age.

Plasma concentration of C-reactive protein and the calculated Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score.

BACKGROUND: Although C-reactive protein (CRP) predicts vascular risk, few data are available evaluating the relation between CRP and the Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk Score (FCRS). METHODS AND RESULTS: CRP levels were compared with calculated 10-year FCRS in a cross-sectional survey of 1666 individuals free of cardiovascular disease. Among men and women not using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), CRP levels were significantly related to 10-year Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk categories [total cholesterol (TC) score for men and women: r=0.29 and r=0.22, respectively; LDL cholesterol score for men and women: r=0.29 and r=0.22, respectively, all probability values <0.01]. However, CRP levels correlated minimally with individual components of the FCRS, which included age (r(men)=0.17, r(women)=-0.003), TC (r(men)=-0.02, r(women)=-0.006), HDL-C (r(men)=0.13), LDL-C (r(men)=-0.0002, r(women)=0.012), blood pressure (rmen=0.18, r(women)=0.22), diabetes (r(men)=0.10, r(women)=0.07), and smoking (r(men)=0.16, r(women)=0.14) status. For women taking HRT, no significant relation was observed between CRP and the FCRS, although the power to detect effects in this subgroup is limited. CONCLUSIONS: Our data demonstrate that CRP levels significantly correlate with calculated 10-year Framingham Coronary Heart Disease Risk in men and women not taking HRT but correlate minimally with most individual components of the FCRS. These data provide additional support for continued evaluation of CRP as a potential adjunct in the global prediction of cardiovascular risk.
