Bone mineral density (BMD) is an important factor linked to bone health. Little is known of the prevalence of low BMD and its associated risk factors in an urban underserved population. Between 2001 and 2004, we recruited 338 subjects who completed drug use and medical history questionnaires, underw

Asthma is a common, complex human disease. Elevated serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, elevated blood eosinophil counts, and increased airway responsiveness are physiological traits that are characteristic of asthma. Few studies have investigated major gene effects for these traits in a population
The aim of this population-based study was to determine whether asthma aggregates in families, and if so, whether aggregation was consistent with environmental and/or genetic etiologies. Data were from 7,394 nuclear families (41,506 individuals) from the 1968 Tasmanian Asthma Survey, in which all Ta
