..The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women with and without diabetes...

..The prevalence of diabetes has been increasing greatly, but WHO's predicted 39% rise in the global rate of diabetes from 2000 to 2030 might be an underestimate. We aimed to assess diabetes trends in Ontario, Canada...

..However, the association between TZD use and cardiovascular events has not been adequately evaluated on a population level...

..To determine whether current antipsychotic use among older persons without diabetes is associated with a higher risk of hospital visits for hyperglycemia, as previous studies in this population have yielded conflicting results...

..We have reported that the prevalence of diagnosed hypertension increased by 60% from 1995 to 2005 in Ontario. In the present study, we asked whether this increase is explained by a decrease in the mortality rate...

..We examined whether income disparities in diabetes-related morbidity or mortality decline after age 65 in a setting where much of health care is publicly funded yet universal drug coverage starts only at age 65...

..Tamoxifen may increase diabetes incidence through its estrogen-inhibiting effects. This study assessed whether tamoxifen treatment in older breast cancer survivors is associated with an increased risk of diabetes...

..Thus, accurate estimates of the prevalence of hypertension in a population have important implications for public policy. We sought to assess whether the estimated increase in the prevalence of hypertension has been underestimated...

..To quantify the effect of levothyroxine dose on risk of fractures in older adults...

..Little is known about adverse events associated with these preparations, particularly in older patients or patients with medical comorbidities...

..Evidence suggests that there is an association between antipsychotic drugs and new-onset diabetes, but little is known about the risk of hyperglycemia among persons with preexisting diabetes...

..To determine whether autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT) influences breast cancer (BRCA) incidence or all-cause survival...

..Low income status is associated with higher diabetes prevalence and higher mortality. The effect of income on diabetes incidence is less well understood...

..We evaluated the adequacy of pregnancy planning effort and medical planning in pregnant women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes...

..Guidelines recommend screening for diabetes postpartum, but screening rates are low. We evaluated the effect of a physician reminder on postpartum screening and in women with GDM...
