With additional follow-up through 2000, one death from prostate cancer had occurred among Vietnam veterans (mortality rate = 0.4 per 100,000 person-years), compared with three deaths among non-Vietnam veterans (1.1 per 100,000 person-years) [ 117].
In a large cohort of hospitalized veterans, mortality in patients who had 90-day survival was higher in patients with AKI, and there was a stepwise increase for increasing AKI severity class [ 13].
In a cohort study of nearly 250,000 US veterans whose mortality was followed for up to 26 years, we evaluated the risk of CBT associated with tobacco use.
The Norwegian cohort included only males (Nafstad et al. 2004), as did the male U.S. veterans cohort mortality study (Lipfert et al. 2000).
We used cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between Veteran status and mortality by generation.After adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics and WHI study arm, all-cause mortality hazard rate ratios (HRs) for Veterans relative to non-Veterans were 1.16 (95% CI: 1.09-1.23) for pre-Vietnam and 1.16 (95% CI: 0.99-1.36) for Vietnam/after generations.
Comparisons across columns (within rows) in Table 1 indicated that veterans had significant mortality risk advantages over non-veterans in terms of age, majority status, education, income, wealth, self-rated health, ADLs, IADLs, cognitive status, depressive symptoms, and subsequent hospitalization for ACSCs.
Mechanisms underlying Vietnam/after generation Veteran trauma-related mortality should be elucidated.
In contrast, veterans had significant mortality risk disadvantages compared to non-veterans in terms of cancer and diabetes.
Using data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI), we examined all-cause and cause-specific mortality by Veteran status and military generation among older women.WHI participants (3,719 Veterans; 141,802 non-Veterans), followed for a mean of 15.2 years, were categorized into pre-Vietnam or Vietnam/after generations based on their birth cohort.
