Disease relevance of Residence Characteristics

• Ponderal index is significantly associated with birth weight even after adjusting for gender and place of birth [1].

High impact information on Residence Characteristics

• We designated this variant as G6PD Sinnai from the place of birth of the propositus [2].
• OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of atopy in children living in an arctic environment, and to examine whether atopy and total IgE levels were associated with parental place of birth, as a measure of ethnicity, and travel history [3].
• A significant association was found between CES-D and MMS scores, but after adjusting for age, living arrangements, and especially functional limitations, the relationship remained strong only for women [4].
• The incidence of thyroid cancer was 2-3 times larger in French Polynesia than in Maoris of New Zealand and Hawaiians of Hawaii. Based on few cases, a nonsignificant (p = 0.1) increase with decreasing distance between Mururoa and the birth place was observed in women born between 1950 and 1975 for thyroid cancer [5].
• METHOD: A total of 509 children with NHB (bilirubin > 15 mg %) were compared with the same number of controls (matched for gender, place of residence, and date and place of birth) with respect to in-patient psychiatric care during 1971-1993 [6].

Biological context of Residence Characteristics

• The following explanatory variables were considered: age, sex, color, previous treatment with schistosomicide, place of birth, quality of the houses, water supply for the household, distance from houses to stream, and frequency and reasons for water contact [7].

Associations of Residence Characteristics with chemical compounds

• In this study, prevalence rates for cocaine use were estimated by sex and race, as well as for selected social role and lifestyle characteristics, including educational level, martial status, living arrangements, job type and employment status [8].
• RESULTS: Fat and carbohydrate intakes were strongly associated with place of birth, but cholesterol and fiber intakes were not [9].
• Carbon monoxide detectors were absent in 185 of 212 (87%) residences, including all domiciles in which a positive CO reading was obtained [10].
• Perceived barriers, marital status, living arrangements, and drug regimen played significant roles in warfarin noncompliance [11].
• Data analyses included Cronbach's Alpha to determine internal consistency and analysis of variance to determine the relationship of FSS total score to Life Satisfaction Index-A (LSI-A) total scores, marital status, living arrangement, and number of family contacts outside the home [12].

Gene context of Residence Characteristics

• The allelic association of the human dopamine D2 receptor gene and alcoholism was evaluated in 20 male alcoholics and 20 controls (sex, race, and geographic place of birth matched) [13].
• METHODS: All living MS patients with confirmed addresses (438 patients) in the province were mailed a survey requesting their place of birth [14].
• Many persons with Alzheimer disease (AD) receive care outside their home, temporarily at a day care center or permanently in an assisted living arrangement or in a skilled nursing facility [15].
• Indicators of health, kinship, income, and wealth are included in the analysis of living arrangements among Black and White women aged 55 and over [16].
• Obstetric outcomes at the birth place in Menlo Park: the first seven years [17].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Residence Characteristics

• Significant determinants of vaccination coverage were: place of birth (chi 2 = 9.7; 2 df; P = 0.008); less than or equal to 6 months stay in Cape Town (odds ratio (OR) 2.22; 95% CI 1.2-4.0%); and home birth (OR 3.21; 95% CI 1.2-8.4%) [18].
