However, it is unclear if certain early-life childhood T1D risk factors were also associated with adult-onset T1D. This study aimed to assess associations between birth order, delivery mode or daycare attendance and type 1 diabetes (T1D) risk in a population-based cohort and whether these were similar for childhood- and adult-onset T1D (cut-off age 15); (2) Methods: Data were obtained from the German National Cohort (NAKO Gesundheitsstudie) baseline assessment. Self-reported diabetes was classified as T1D if: diagnosis age ≤ 40 years and has been receiving insulin treatment since less than one year after diagnosis. Cox regression was applied for T1D risk analysis; (3) Results: Analyses included 101,411 participants (100 childhood- and 271 adult-onset T1D cases). Compared to "only-children", HRs for second- or later-born individuals were 0.70 (95\% CI = 0.50-0.96) and 0.65 (95\% CI = 0.45-0.94), respectively, regardless of parental diabetes, migration background, birth year and perinatal factors. In further analyses, higher birth order reduced T1D risk in children and adults born in recent decades. Caesarean section and daycare attendance showed no clear associations with T1D risk; (4) Conclusions: Birth order should be considered in both children and adults' T1D risk assessment for early detection.}, language = {en} } @article{GreiserGreiserAhrensetal.2012, author = {Greiser, Eberhard M. and Greiser, Karin Halina and Ahrens, Wolfgang and Hagen, Rudolf and Lazszig, Roland and Maier, Heinz and Schick, Bernhard and Zenner, Hans Peter}, title = {Risk factors for nasal malignancies in German men: the South-German Nasal cancer study}, series = {BMC Cancer}, volume = {12}, journal = {BMC Cancer}, number = {506}, doi = {10.1186/1471-2407-12-506}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-133365}, year = {2012}, abstract = {Background: There are few studies of the effects of nasal snuff and environmental factors on the risk of nasal cancer. This study aimed to investigate the impact of using nasal snuff and of other risk factors on the risk of nasal cancer in German men. Methods: A population-based case-control study was conducted in the German Federal States of Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg. Tumor registries and ear, nose and throat departments provided access to patients born in 1926 or later. Results: Telephone interviews were conducted with 427 cases (mean age 62.1 years) and 2.401 population-based controls (mean age 60.8 years). Ever-use of nasal snuff was associated with an odds ratio (OR) for nasal cancer of 1.45 (95\% confidence interval [CI] 0.88-2.38) in the total study population, whereas OR in smokers was 2.01 (95\% CI 1.00-4.02) and in never smokers was 1.10 (95\% CI 0.43-2.80). The OR in ever-smokers vs. never-smokers was 1.60 (95\% CI 1.24-2.07), with an OR of 1.06 (95\% CI 1.05-1.07) per pack-year smoked, and the risk was significantly decreased after quitting smoking. Exposure to hardwood dust for at least 1 year resulted in an OR of 2.33 (95\% CI 1.40-3.91) in the total population, which was further increased in never-smokers (OR 4.89, 95\% CI 1.92-12.49) in analyses stratified by smoking status. The OR for nasal cancer after exposure to organic solvents for at least 1 year was 1.53 (1.17-2.01). Ever-use of nasal sprays/nasal lavage for at least 1 month rendered an OR of 1.59 (1.04-2.44). The OR after use of insecticides in homes was 1.48 (95\% CI 1.04-2.11). Conclusions: Smoking and exposure to hardwood dust were confirmed as risk factors for nasal carcinoma. There is evidence that exposure to organic solvents, and in-house use of insecticides could represent novel risk factors. Exposure to asbestos and use of nasal snuff were risk factors in smokers only.}, language = {en} }
