A polymorphism at codon 72 of gene p53 results in the presence of either arginine or proline at this position. We investigated the distribution of p53 codon 72 polymorphism in cervical cancer patients and a control group of healthy women from Poland. Our results do not confirm the hypothesis that the p53 codon polymorphism could play a role as a factor for squamous carcinoma of the cervix.
In 2009 we investigated exposure to lead, cadmium, and mercury in 80 women aged 50-59 in an urban area of Poland. Blood levels of lead, cadmium, and total mercury were used as biomarkers. The participants completed an extended questionnaire to identify potential sociodemographic, lifestyle, and nutritional correlates for the concentration of metals in the blood. The geometric means in the study population were: 21.5 μg/l (95% CI 20-23) for blood lead, 0.67 μg/l (95% CI 0.56-0.79) for blood cadmium, and 0.75 μg/l (95% CI 0.64- 0.87) for total mercury in the blood. Regression analyses revealed that the increased lead levels in the blood were significantly associated with BMI values under 25 kg/m², being postmenopausal, smoking habits, the use of heating sources other than electricity or centrally heated buildings, and frequent or constant trucks passing through a residential area. The levels of cadmium in the blood were significantly higher in subjects who smoked cigarettes and decreased as education increased. Fish consumption and the number of teeth containing amalgam were the only factors that were significantly associated with blood mercury levels.
Background. Osteoporosis is a condition that has been much more frequent for women, which is related to menopause and to their lower bone mineral density (BMD). Inappropriate diet is among the development factors of the disease. Objective. To assess differences in consumption of particular nutrients among women with and without osteoporosis diagnosed. Material and Methods. The study was conducted in 2013 in a group of 100 women aged 51-70, using a questionnaire, including a 24-hour recall related to a participant’s nutrients consumptions. Results. Women suffering from osteoporosis were found to consume significantly lower amounts of fat (by 16%) and energy (by 13%), as well as vitamins: A (by 16%), E (by 20%), B6 (by 20%), niacin (by 16%) and C (by 19%). Differences in the consumption of minerals have been observed in the cases of calcium, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. The women with osteoporosis were fund to consume lower amounts of those elements, by 14%, 13%, 21% and 19% respectively. On the average, participants of the study in both groups consumed amounts of calcium at a half of the recommended level, and substantially exceeded the recommended values of phosphorus, as well as displaying an inappropriate calcium to phosphorus ratio (0.5:1). As little as 8% of the participants with osteoporosis declared a considerable change in their diet, with increased consumption of dairy products. Conclusion. The observed nutrition deficiencies in osteoporosis patients may be conducive to a worsened condition, and may lead to an onset of the disease in participants from the control group.
