Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the links between alcohol consumption habits and mortality among over 16,000 Korean adults, focusing on total and cancer-specific death rates over an average follow-up of 9.3 years.
- Past drinkers had the highest risk for cancer deaths (HR 1.84), while both never drinkers and heavy drinkers faced increased risks for all-cause mortality.
- The findings revealed a J-shaped relationship between alcohol quantity and mortality risk, indicating that light drinkers had lower risks, while heavy drinkers showed significantly elevated risks for overall and cancer-related deaths, particularly from stomach and liver cancers.
The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the completeness of case ascertainment during the follow-up of a cohort differed between the exposed and the nonexposed groups in Korea Radiation Effect and Epidemiology Cohort (KREEC). The completeness was defined as the proportion of the number of detected cases to the number of estimated cases, in which the estimation was performed by capture-recapture method. Data were obtained from the cancer registries, death certificates, and medical records during years 2004-2007.

Aim: To evaluate the impact of MS on sexual function in middle- to old-aged women.
Methods: From May 2009 to January 2010, we performed a cross-sectional study of sexually active women (≥ 40 years old) who visited a health-screening clinic.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to calculate sample size and power in an ongoing cohort, Korea radiation effect and epidemiology cohort (KREEC).
Method: Sample size calculation was performed using PASS 2002 based on Cox regression and Poisson regression models. Person-year was calculated by using data from '1993-1997 Total cancer incidence by sex and age, Seoul' and Korean statistical informative service.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between cigarette smoking and total mortality, cancer mortality and other disease mortalities in Korean adults.
Methods: A total of 14,161 subjects of the Korean Multi-center Cancer Cohort who were over 40 years of age and who were cancer-free at baseline enrollment reported their lifestyle factors, including the smoking status. The median follow-up time was 6.
