4. Gallstones and cholecystectomy in modern Britain -- Bateson 76 (901): 700 -- Postgraduate Medical Journal
- www.postgradmedj.com
- BACKGROUNDIt has been suggested that gallstone disease is now commoner, and that this might explain an increase in cholecystectomy rates, though conclusive evidence has been lacking.
- METHODSAll the non-forensic necropsy results for Dundee 1953-98 were examined to assess the prevalence of gallstone disease. ...
- Increasing age was the main determinant of gallstone disease. Though gallstone disease was commoner in women than men aged 40-89, there was no sex difference under 40 or over 90 years. Cholecystectomy became much commoner in the 1960s when frequency of gallstone disease did not change. ... There was a gradual fall in rates in the 1980s when gallstone prevalence remained high. ...
- Changes in the cholecystectomy rates are only partly explained by changes in gallstone prevalence, and are more determined by surgical practice.

- A Prospective Cohort Study of Nut Consumption and the Risk of Gallstone Disease in Men .
- Gallstone disease is a major source of morbidity in Western countries. ... The objective of the study was to examine the relation between nut consumption and gallstone disease in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. ... During 457,305 person-years of follow-up, 1,833 participants reported gallstone disease. After adjustment for age and other known or suspected risk factors, men consuming 5 or more units of nuts per week (frequent consumption) had a significantly lower risk of gallstone disease (relative risk = 0. ... In analyses examining consumption of peanuts and other nuts separately, both were significantly associated with a lower risk of gallstone disease in the age-adjusted and multivariate models. Our findings suggest that frequent nut consumption is associated with a reduced risk of gallstone disease in men. ...

- Gallstone disease in Peruvian coastal natives and highland migrants .
- AIMSTo determine if high altitude ( 1500 m) is a contributing risk factor for gallstone disease.
- METHODSWe conducted a cross sectional study in a periurban community in Lima, Peru, and compared the prevalence of gallstone disease between coastal natives, highland (Sierra) natives and Sierra natives who had migrated to the coast. ... We examined 1534 subjects >15 years of age for gallstone disease. ...
- Females had a greater risk of gallstone disease, especially if they had used oral contraception and/or had four or more children. ... The prevalence of gallstone disease was not associated with time since migration or with having native Sierra parents. After adjusting for other risk factors, Sierra natives who migrated to the coast had a lower prevalence of gallstone disease than coastal natives (odds ratio 0. ...
- CONCLUSIONSThis study indicates that high altitude is not a positive risk factor for gallstone disease and confirms that this disease is common in Peruvians, which may be attributable to Peruvian-Indian ethnicity.
