This study analyzed data from a follow-up of two birth cohort studies to examine lifetime cocaine use among participants born between 1959-1966 who were aged 40-49 years at the time of assessment. The results found that over half (53%) of participants reported having used cocaine at some point in their lives. Men were significantly more likely to report cocaine use than women, with 60% of men and 45% of women reporting use. Educational attainment was not significantly associated with cocaine use. The study concludes that cocaine use was common among those born in this generation.

Child Abuse Linked To Cancer In Adulthood
A study from the University of Toronto found that childhood physical abuse is associated with a 49% increased risk of cancer later in life. Researchers analyzed data from over 13,000 Canadians and found that 7.4% reported physical abuse as children and were later diagnosed with cancer. Even after accounting for adult behaviors and socioeconomic factors, childhood abuse was still linked to a 47% higher chance of cancer. The researchers hypothesize that chronic stress from abuse may increase cortisol levels and suppress the immune system, but more research is still needed to fully understand the connection.
Poverty
North Korea has a high poverty rate with 40% of its population living below the poverty line. In India, 3000 children die every day due to hunger. A new poll found that nearly 25% of people over age 60 in China live below the poverty line.
Estimating the Maximum Human Lifespan
The document discusses estimating the maximum human lifespan based on a 2016 study. The study found that while average lifespans have increased significantly since 1800, the age of the oldest person has not risen in nearly 30 years, suggesting a natural limit. Analyzing the ages of the oldest men and women ever, who lived from 1870 to 1903, the study concluded their lifespans of around 115-119 years may be near the maximum natural limit.
Anorexia
This research project examines anorexia through three parts:
1) It explores the origin of anorexia, defining it as an eating disorder characterized by excessive weight loss and fear of gaining weight. Anorexia typically affects females more than males and may be linked to exposure to female hormones in the womb.
2) It analyzes conceptions of anorexia from different parts of the world, finding it can stem from neuropsychiatric symptoms or sociological factors. Views vary between seeing it as an eating disorder requiring hospitalization or one influenced by gender and nutrition.
3) It will develop the research using statistical, dialectical, and documentation methods to interpret results, express ideas and findings, and

Abstract
This essay provides a review of forty years of follow-up data from the Charleston Heart Study (CHS) in their article Divorce and Death: Forty Years of the Charleston Heart Study. This includes a longitudinal CHS, which included data collected from more than 1300 adults from 1960 to 2000, Sbarra and Nietert explored the relationship between social connectedness and health using the CHS data and attempted to provide insight into the long term health consequences of becoming separated or divorced (2009). Being separated or divorced during the follow-up window appeared to be one of the strongest predictors of early mortality. In addition to the review of the actual study, a critique is included that provides a critical analysis of the quality of the researchers’ study and article as published in the Psychological Science journal. The critique addresses such items as ethics, usefulness, sample size and diversification as well as a plethora of other interesting items useful to provide collegiate feedback of the work by Sbarra and Nietert.
Early Mortality: Review of the Charleston Heart StudyIntroduction
The researchers posed that recent research in social epidemiology has spurred advances into the association between interpersonal relationships and health (Sbarra & Nietert, 2009) but there were limits to the overall findings. It is suggested that relationship can play a vital role in an individual’s lifespan development. Sbarra and Nietert share this sentiment. More specifically, that social integration (i.e. a close relationship in which one feels close to others and that the relationship is reciprocally dependable) is positively correlated with mortality; however, a life deficient in social integration may be a strong predictor of early mortality (Sbarra & Nietert, 2009). The researchers carefully reviewed the data from the CHS to help explain the mechanism linking social connectedness and health.
The authors were interested in providing new insights into the long-term health consequences of divorce or separation. Many previous studies on the link between divorce and health have failed to present marital status as a dynamic variable. However, the researchers took into account both the length of time the participants were divorced and eventual remarriage rates which appears to have significantly improved their ability to make the link.Review
In order to present marital status as dynamically as possible, the researchers classified participants in the study in three ways. First, marital status (married, separated-divorced, widowed, or never married) at the first assessment was examined as a predictor of long-term mortality (Sbarra & Nietert, 2009). Second, the researchers calculated the hazard ratio (HR) of early death f ...
The Effects Of Caffeine On Vocal Performance
This document discusses several studies that examined the effects of caffeine on vocal performance. The first study found that ingesting 200mg of caffeine with varying amounts of water (0ml, 500ml, 1L) did not significantly impact acoustic or aerodynamic vocal measures. A second study found that consuming moderate amounts of caffeine (480mg) did not deteriorate vocal production measures in healthy adults, even after extended vocal loading. A third study found that telemarketers who consumed caffeine were not at increased risk of voice problems compared to non-caffeine users. Overall, the studies suggest that moderate caffeine consumption does not negatively impact vocal performance or increase the risk of voice problems.

- Over 80% of women reported liking each of the three microbicide delivery methods tested (vaginal film, soft-gel capsule, and tablet). Over 85% said they would use the product.
- The film and soft-gel capsule were preferred by 39% and 37% of women respectively, while 25% preferred the tablet, mainly because the film and capsule dissolved faster and were easier to insert.
- Preferences for the delivery methods varied by country. Women in Burkina Faso and Tanzania preferred the soft-gel capsule (42-46%), while women in Zambia preferred the film (51%).

1. The study examined whether women were more likely to wear red clothing during their fertile window compared to other times in their menstrual cycle.
2. Using frequent hormone sampling to determine ovulation timing within a within-subjects design, they found women had higher odds of wearing red during their estimated fertile window.
3. Further analysis found that within-subject fluctuations in the ratio of estradiol to progesterone statistically mediated the within-subject shifts in red clothing choices, providing support that specific hormone levels predict changes in women's courtship behaviors.

1) The study examined gender differences in marijuana use initiation and academic performance among US high school students using data from a 2009 national survey.
2) A larger percentage of male students reported initiating marijuana use before age 15 compared to females.
3) Male students who initiated marijuana use early were more likely to have unsatisfactory academic performance in the past year compared to females, with the risk being highest for males who initiated use before age 13.
OralCancerandSmokelessTobacco (1)
This summary provides an overview of key information from the document:
1) The document reviews several epidemiological studies that examine the relationship between smokeless tobacco use and oral cancer risk. Case control and cohort studies from Sweden, India, and Norway generally found increased risks, though the magnitude of risk depended on the type of smokeless tobacco.
2) A review of 21 studies found that chewing tobacco and moist snuff carried low cancer risks under 2, while dry snuff was associated with higher relative risks from 4 to 13. However, studies may have overestimated risks by not adequately controlling for smoking and drinking.
3) Another review of 65 studies also noted small increased risks from case control studies, but cohort studies

The document summarizes a study that examined how race, lifestyle choices, and socioeconomic factors impact menopause symptoms. The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) studied over 3,000 women between 1996-2002. It found that African American women reported the highest rates of vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes, while Asian women reported the lowest. Factors found to increase vasomotor symptoms were older age, less education, obesity, smoking, and anxiety. Race, lifestyle, and socioeconomic status all influenced menopause experiences and symptom severity.

This study aimed to prospectively evaluate the relationship between a history of laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis and subsequent risk of infertility among premenopausal women. The study followed over 58,000 women for 14 years and found that women with a history of endometriosis had a 2-fold increased risk of infertility. However, this increased risk was only observed among women aged 35 years or younger and women with a BMI under 25 kg/m2. The study concluded that a history of endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of infertility, but this risk may be limited to younger, leaner women.
Final Research Project Paper on Snacking and Gender
This document describes a study that examined the influence of gender and images of healthy vs. unhealthy snacks on attitudes toward snacking. The researchers hypothesized that: 1) females would express more ambivalence than males toward unhealthy snacking; 2) attitudes would be more positive when unhealthy snacks were pictured; and 3) females shown unhealthy snack pictures would have the most positive attitudes. Students completed a survey with either healthy or unhealthy snack images rating snacking statements. Results found gender, image, and interaction effects, warranting further research.
Macmohan’s 1981
- This study followed women who booked home births in the UK in 1994 and matched them to similar women who booked hospital births.
- Outcomes were recorded for 5,971 home birth women and 4,724 matched hospital birth women. The groups were low-risk and well-matched.
- Planning a home birth was found to halve the chances of assisted or caesarean births compared to planning a hospital birth. Home births also had less reported high blood pressure and less stressful antenatal care.
- However, bias may exist since home birth women tended to be more educated/affluent and high-risk women who transferred care were excluded.

New Genetics
New genetic research has found that a person's chances of successfully quitting smoking through medication may depend on their genes. A study analyzed smokers' response to the smoking cessation drug bupropion and found that a common genetic variant, present in 25-50% of populations, affected treatment outcomes. Those with one variant of the CYP2B6 gene benefited more from the drug, with a 32.5% abstinence rate compared to 14.3% on a placebo. In contrast, those with a different variant did not gain additional benefit from the drug. The researchers aim to replicate these results and study the impact of this genetic variant on African American smokers.

The document summarizes four studies that identify risk factors for HPV. All four studies found that younger age and a higher number of sexual partners are strongly correlated with HPV infection. Additional risk factors identified across the studies include ever having sex, alcohol consumption, low income, smoking, and oral contraceptive use. Understanding risk factors can help target prevention efforts and may provide insight into HPV persistence and cervical cancer development.Similar to Tracy Liang_Ezra Susser_Poster 2011 (20)

- 1. "History of Cocaine Use in a Sample Born 1959-‐1966" INTRODUCTION This study was a follow-‐up of the members of two birth cohort studies (born 1959-‐1966: one in Oakland and the other in New England). The parDcipants were age 40-‐49 at the Dme of assessment. This poster reports on lifeDme history of cocaine use and its associaDons with gender and educaDon among the study sample at follow-‐up. ABSTRACT This analysis uses data from a follow-‐up study of birth cohorts (born 1959-‐1966) at age 40-‐49 years. More than half of the parDcipants reported having used cocaine. There were significant differences between men and women (60% in men versus 45% in women, p=.006), but not by educaDon. RESULTS Among all parDcipants across both sites, more than half (53%) reported having used cocaine at some point in their life. A higher percentage of men (60%) than women (45%) reported having used cocaine (P=. 006). People with a high school degree or less were slightly more likely to have used cocaine (57%) than those with higher educaDon (52%), but the difference was not staDsDcally significant (P=.501). CONCLUSION In this populaDon-‐based sample, the majority of people in their 40s reported “ever using” cocaine at some point in their life. Men were more likely to have used cocaine than women (60% vs. 45%). Since these results are based on retrospecDve recall over a long period, they are likely to be underesDmates. Therefore this study suggests that within the generaDon born 1959-‐1966, the majority have some experience with cocaine use.

The majority were sibling pairs, because the study was designed to make comparisons within as well as across families. All the parDcipants were born 1959-‐1966 and age 40-‐49 at the Dme of the follow-‐up interview. They were administered 3 hour quesDonnaires that included quesDons on drug use. This report excludes 27 parDcipants with missing data on cocaine use and/or educaDon. StaDsDcal comparisons were made using Fisher exact tests. Tracy L. Liang, Long Island University—Brooklyn Campus
