NFNeal D. Freedman

Key Points

  • To evaluate the association between cigarette smoking and bladder cancer risk and compare modern risk estimates across sexes with historical cohort data.
  • Assessed smoking-related bladder cancer risk and population attributable risks (PARs) in the contemporary NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study cohort.
  • Compared risk estimates to pooled US data from historical cohorts established between 1963 and 1987.
  • Relative risks for bladder cancer linked to smoking were substantially higher in the recent NIH-AARP cohort than in older pooled US cohorts.
  • Population attributable risks (PARs) for bladder cancer among female smokers were comparable to those observed among male smokers.

Abstract

Compared with a pooled estimate of US data from cohorts initiated between 1963 and 1987, relative risks for smoking in the more recent NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study cohort were higher, with PARs for women comparable with those for men.
