With regard to tobacco, the relationship between the odds ratio and mean weekly intake was log-linear; the risk depended mainly on the duration of consumption and former consumption had a lesser effect than current consumption.
The remaining part of the total alcohol attributable fraction (2-60%) was associated with consumption of less than the recommended upper limit and former consumption.
For cancer sites with markedly higher risks for former compared with never consumers—such as liver cancer —a noticeable part of the total alcohol attributable fractions was associated with former consumption.
The former increases the consumption of time and money for laboratories constantly working on cloning (Guo and Bi 2002).
At White's murder trial, his attorneys successfully argued that his judgment had been impaired by a prolonged period of clinical depression, one symptom of which was the former health enthusiast's consumption of junk food.
The former can occur following consumption of contaminated shellfish that have accumulated sufficient levels of toxin while filter feeding the algal assemblage including K. brevis.
The aim of this study was to examine the hospital care consumption of former ICU patients 3 years prior to and 3 years after the intensive care period.
In the EPIC study 7 there was no significant interaction with smoking, but lower risks of bladder cancer were observed in never and former smokers with higher consumption of vegetables, but not in current smokers.
We also obtained information on smoking status (never smoker, current smoker, former smoker), alcohol consumption (more than once a month, less than once a month, former drinker, never drank), daily consumption of fruits and vegetables (< 5 servings/day, ≥ 5 servings/day), physical activity (≥ 3.0, 1.5–2.9, < 1.5 kcal/kg/day of energy expenditure for leisure activities), and urban/rural residence.
In Greenpeace's scenario, the prices of gas and coal will rise, despite stagnating consumption of the former, and a steep drop in demand for the latter.
