John Goldthorpe is one of Britain’s most eminent sociologists and a strong advocate of quantitative sociology. In this concise and accessible book, he provides a new rationale for recent developments in sociology which focus on establishing and explaining probabilistic regularities in human populations.

متن کاملEpidemiology/Population Science Plasma Fatty Acid Composition as a Predictor of Arterial Stiffness and Mortality
Aortic stiffness predicts cardiovascular mortality and may be influenced by dietary fat composition. The hypothesis that plasma fat composition influences arterial stiffness and subsequent mortality was tested here in a prospective study. A total of 174 randomly sampled nondiabetic participants aged 45 to 74 years were recruited from local populations, stratified by ethnicity and gender, and fo...
متن کاملEpidemiology/Population Science Newly Reported Hypertension After Military Combat Deployment in a Large Population-Based Study
High-stress situations, such as combat deployments, are a potential risk factor for hypertension. Although stress is postulated to increase blood pressure, the underlying role of stress on hypertension is not well established. We sought to determine the relations between combat deployment–induced stress and hypertension. The Millennium Cohort baseline questionnaire (2001–2003) was completed by ...
متن کاملPopulation Science/Epidemiology Childhood Growth and Adult Hypertension in a Population of High Birth Weight
Low birth weight has consistently been associated with increased adult blood pressure. The relative importance of childhood growth is, however, less well established. This study examined sex-specific associations between childhood growth and adult blood pressure in 2120 subjects born from 1921 to 1935 in Reykjavik who were recruited into a longitudinal study in 1967–1991. Size at birth and grow...
متن کاملEpidemiology/Population Science Orthostatic Hypotension as a Risk Factor for Incident Heart Failure The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Heart failure causes significant morbidity and mortality. Distinguishing risk factors for incident heart failure can help identify at-risk individuals. Orthostatic hypotension may be a risk factor for incident heart failure; however, this association has not been fully explored, especially in nonwhite populations. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study included 12363 adults free of preva...
