Book Synopsis Socioeconomic Distribution of Cervical Cancer, in Relation to Early Marriage and Pregnancy by : Frank Edward Lundin (Jr.)
Download or read book Socioeconomic Distribution of Cervical Cancer, in Relation to Early Marriage and Pregnancy written by Frank Edward Lundin (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A case-control study based on data from the vaginal cytologic survey of Memphis, Tennessee, which reached all levels of the city, is used to relate the etiology of cervical cancer to socioeconomic status, age at 1st marriage, and age at 1st pregnancy. Because evidence suggests that the epidemiologic distribution of squamous cell carcinoma differs from that of adenocarcinoma, cases are limited to the squamous type (SCC). Because of the different racial incidence of SCC and other types of cervical cancer, all data are presented separately by race. Among never-married white women, 6.5 cases of SCC would be statistically expected; 0 were found. Among never-married black women 3.5 would be expected; 1 was found. For intraepithelial carcinoma (IC) 10.4 cases would be expected for whites and 5 were found; 6.6 expected for nonwhite , 3 found. Among married whites, cases of SCC and IC were roughly the same as expected but age at marriage under age 18, expected cases of SCC were 25.8, observed were 48; expected IC was 34.9, observed was 66. (p=.001 for SCC and p=.0001 for IC). Among nonwhites, expected SCC for women married under 18 was 38.0 observed was 37; expected IC 38.4, observed 36. The expected and observed cases gradually came into agreement until age at 1st marriage reached 25+. Then for whites expected SCC was 25.1 and observed was 14; for nonwhites expected SCC was 12.3 and observed was 7. For IC, expected for whites was 27.7, observed 17 and for nonwhite 6.6 expected and 10 observed. For white women similar figures showed age at 1st pregnancy and socioeconomic area of residence are definitely associated with histologically confirmed cases of invasive and intraepithelial carcinoma of the cervix as well as with uncomfirmed cases with suspicious and positive cytologic findings. Early pregnancy and lower categories. For nonwhite women, although age at 1st marriage is not associated with either form of cancer, early pregnancy is associated with invasive cervical cancer as well as unconfirmed cases with suspicious or positive cytologic findings. Age at 1st pregnancy and marriage were highly correlated. The data are cons istent with the view that age at 1st pregnancy, alone or in conjunction with early marriage, is a determinant of cervical cancer. Number of pregnancies was not related. It is possible an unidentified 3rd factor is responsible.
Book Synopsis Social Inequities in Cancer by : Dana Hashim
Download or read book Social Inequities in Cancer written by Dana Hashim and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Social Inequities in Cancer” is a compendium of articles that identify barriers and metrics on the topic of modifiable and unnecessary cancer inequalities. Social inequities have long been recognised as a strong contributing factor in health and cancer inequalities for the past several decades. Despite progress in cancer treatment, cancer incidence, mortality and survival vary markedly between and within countries. Globalisation, greater life expectancy, emerging analytical technologies, and the scalability of big data have revolutionized the vantage point from which social inequities can be studied. The focus of these articles is inequalities as they relate to cancer, with the inequalities ranging from the community to the global scale.

Book Synopsis Cancer Control Opportunities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Cancer Control Opportunities in Low- and Middle-Income Countries written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-01-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is low or absent on the health agendas of low- and middle-income countries (LMCs) despite the fact that more people die from cancer in these countries than from AIDS and malaria combined. International health organizations, bilateral aid agencies, and major foundations—which are instrumental in setting health priorities—also have largely ignored cancer in these countries. This book identifies feasible, affordable steps for LMCs and their international partners to begin to reduce the cancer burden for current and future generations. Stemming the growth of cigarette smoking tops the list to prevent cancer and all the other major chronic diseases. Other priorities include infant vaccination against the hepatitis B virus to prevent liver cancers and vaccination to prevent cervical cancer. Developing and increasing capacity for cancer screening and treatment of highly curable cancers (including most childhood malignancies) can be accomplished using "resource-level appropriateness" as a guide. And there are ways to make inexpensive oral morphine available to ease the pain of the many who will still die from cancer.
Book Synopsis Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control by : World Health Organization
Download or read book Comprehensive Cervical Cancer Control written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most women who die from cervical cancer, particularly in developing countries, are in the prime of their life. They may be raising children, caring for their family, and contributing to the social and economic life of their town or village. Their death is both a personal tragedy, and a sad and unnecessary loss to their family and their community. Unnecessary, because there is compelling evidence, as this Guide makes clear, that cervical cancer is one of the most preventable and treatable forms of cancer, as long as it is detected early and managed effectively. Unfortunately, the majority of women in developing countries still do not have access to cervical cancer prevention programmes. The consequence is that, often, cervical cancer is not detected until it is too late to be cured. An urgent effort is required if this situation is to be corrected. This Guide is intended to help those responsible for providing services aimed at reducing the burden posed by cervical cancer for women, communities and health systems. It focuses on the knowledge and skills needed by health care providers, at different levels of care.

Download or read book Social Inequalities and Cancer written by Manolis Kogevinas and published by Iarc. This book was released on 1997 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In both industrialized and lessdeveloped societies, cancer incidence and survival are related to socioeconomic factors. This fascinating volume, the first to examine the magnitude of these socioeconomic differences in relation to cancer, provides vital information for all those interested in public health. Cancer incidence and survival are related to socioeconomic status in both industrialized and less developed countries. These differences can be explained, in part, by known risk factors, particularly tobacco smoke, occupational exposures, reproductive behaviour, diet and biological agents. T.

Book Synopsis Social Determinants of Health in Non-communicable Diseases by : Katsunori Kondo
Download or read book Social Determinants of Health in Non-communicable Diseases written by Katsunori Kondo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license. This open access book is the first compilation that reviews a wide range of social determinants of health (SDHs) for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and healthy ageing in Japan. With the highest life expectancy and the largest elderly population in the world, Japan has witnessed health inequality by region and social class becoming more prevalent since the 2000s. The first half of this volume describes in detail major NCDs, such as cancers, heart and kidney diseases, diabetes, stroke, and metabolic syndrome. The second half, on the other hand, explores various SDHs relating to healthy ageing. All chapters review and focus on SDHs, particularly health inequality associated with socio-economic status and social capital, which are widely addressed in the field of social epidemiology. The book makes the argument that “Health for All” advocated by the WHO should be implemented based on social justice and benefits for the greater society. Public health researchers and policymakers, both in Japan and other nations, will gain scientific evidence from this book to prepare for the coming era as ageing becomes a global issue.
Book Synopsis The Association of Socioeconomic Status with Cervical Cancer Risk Misperceptions, Pap Smear Screening Adherence and Cervical Outcomes Among Ohio Appalachian Women by : Brittany Marie Bernardo

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Aim 3, the outcomes of interest were high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and current abnormal Pap smear. Multiple imputation was utilized to impute missing data for variables of interest. Mixed models including a random effect for clinic as well as stratum to account for matching between the cases and controls were run and the relationship between individual socioeconomic status (SES) and the outcomes of high-risk HPV infection and current abnormal Pap smear were examined. Results revealed no significant association of individual socioeconomic status with abnormal Pap smear, but did reveal a significant relationship between individual SES and high-risk HPV infection.
Book Synopsis Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Survey Data by : Adam Wagstaff
Download or read book Analyzing Health Equity Using Household Survey Data written by Adam Wagstaff and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2007-11-02 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have gaps in health outcomes between the poor and better off grown? Are they larger in one country than another? Are health sector subsidies more equally distributed in some countries than others? Are health care payments more progressive in one health care financing system than another? What are catastrophic payments and how can they be measured? How far do health care payments impoverish households? Answering questions such as these requires quantitative analysis. This in turn depends on a clear understanding of how to measure key variables in the analysis, such as health outcomes, health expenditures, need, and living standards. It also requires set quantitative methods for measuring inequality and inequity, progressivity, catastrophic expenditures, poverty impact, and so on. This book provides an overview of the key issues that arise in the measurement of health variables and living standards, outlines and explains essential tools and methods for distributional analysis, and, using worked examples, shows how these tools and methods can be applied in the health sector. The book seeks to provide the reader with both a solid grasp of the principles underpinning distributional analysis, while at the same time offering hands-on guidance on how to move from principles to practice.

Book Synopsis Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life by : National Research Council
Download or read book Understanding Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-09-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the population of older Americans grows, it is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. Differences in health by racial and ethnic status could be increasingly consequential for health policy and programs. Such differences are not simply a matter of education or ability to pay for health care. For instance, Asian Americans and Hispanics appear to be in better health, on a number of indicators, than White Americans, despite, on average, lower socioeconomic status. The reasons are complex, including possible roles for such factors as selective migration, risk behaviors, exposure to various stressors, patient attitudes, and geographic variation in health care. This volume, produced by a multidisciplinary panel, considers such possible explanations for racial and ethnic health differentials within an integrated framework. It provides a concise summary of available research and lays out a research agenda to address the many uncertainties in current knowledge. It recommends, for instance, looking at health differentials across the life course and deciphering the links between factors presumably producing differentials and biopsychosocial mechanisms that lead to impaired health.
Book Synopsis Human Papillomavirus and Cervical Cancer by : International Agency for Research on Cancer
Download or read book Human Papillomavirus and Cervical Cancer written by International Agency for Research on Cancer and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reviews the evidence for a causal link between sexually transmitted infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) and the occurrence of cervical cancer, from a variety of different angles. Epidemiological studies and clinical, pathological, and cytological aspects of HPV infection are reviewed. Modern methods for analyzing HPV-DNA types by molecular biological techniques are described, and the statistical problems to be overcome in epidemiological work are explained. The volume was prepared by a broad team of experts from around the world, who met in Copenhagen in March 1988 to reach a consensus on the present state of understanding and to establish directions for future work.
