“…This result is due to the latitude gradients in UV exposure in Norway, which previously has been shown to be reflected in the melanoma risk (Magnus, 1973;Robsahm and Tretli, 2001;Cancer in Norway, 2006). No effect was Birth weight and melanoma risk I Franco-Lie et al found for parental age on risk of melanoma, which agrees with the results published by Janerich et al (1989).…”

Birth weight and melanoma risk: a population-based case–control study

We investigated whether lower birth weight was associated with lower risk of melanoma later in life. This population-based case–control study included all incident cases of histologically verified invasive melanoma diagnosed until 31 December 2003 in the Norwegian population born between 1967 and 1986 ( n =709). The control group without malignant disease was established by random sampling from the same source population as the cases ( n =108 209). Data on birth weight, gender, mother's residence and parental age at the time of birth were collected from the Medical Birth Registry of Norway and data on cancer from the Cancer Registry of Norway. The Mantel–Haenszel test of linear trend showed no trend in risk across the birth weight categories: individuals in the highest quartile of birth weight (⩾3860 g) had an odds ratio (OR) of 1.19 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.77–1.84) compared to individuals with birth weight <2500 g. The adjusted OR was 0.81 (95% CI: 0.52–1.26) for birth weight below 2500 g (exposed). Though not statistically significant, the results suggest that low birth weight might influence the risk of melanoma later in life.

“…With longer gestational time, the relative risk of breast cancer declined. There was even some evidence that women born small (i.e., birth weight <2000 g) and after the 34* gestational week were at lower risk, in accordance with the results of previous studies (2,4).…”

We measured serum levels of estadiol (E2) and sex mn e-binding globulin (SHBG) among 50 healthy premenopausal Japanese women in 1994 in Gif Japan, to iiwestigate the reltionships between potential risk factor for brenst sncer and hormone levels. Using a self-adminis- No subject had a history of diabetes or endocrine diseases and none had ever taken oral contraceptives. There were no current users of other types of hormonal medication. One women had used hormonal medication about 2 years before the study, but only for a few months.Two blood samples were drawn from each subject in the mornings of the 11th and 22nd days of her menstrual cycle. Day 1 of the menstrual cycle was defined as the day of onset of menstrual bleeding. After centrifugation, the serum was separated and stored at -80°C until assayed. Hormone assays were carried out in one batch in one laboratory. Serum levels of total E2 and SHBG were measured radioimmunologically with kits purchased from Diagnostic Products Corporation (Los Angeles, CA). The intra-assay coefficients of variation, based on control pools, were 9.8% for E2 and 5.3% for SHBG.Hormone concentration was log-transformed for statistical analysis to reduce departures from the normal distribution. To assess the association between the logarithm of E2 or SHBG level and the study variables, we calculated the Pearson correlation coefficients. The variables examined in this way were height, weight, body mass index [BMI; weight (kg)/height (mi2)], age at menarche, age at start of regular cycle, birth order, and ages at menarche and delivery for the subject's mother. Although we restricted the sampling days according to the menstrual cycle, higher plasma E2 levels were observed for women with shorter cycles. Therefore, adjustments for cycle length and age were performed by regressing the logarithms of hormones and study variables separately on these potential confounders. The correlation coefficients between the two sets of residuals were then calculated. The relationships between categorical variables [i.e., length of the menstrual cycle (<27, 28-29, 30, 31-35 days, and irregular), smoking status, and
