RESEARCH ARTICLE Do the Number of Cigarettes Smokes Per Day
DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2019.20.5.1403 Cigarettes Smokes per Day and Malignant Cancer RESEARCH ARTICLE Editorial Process: Submission:01/20/2018 Acceptance:05/06/2019 Do the Number of Cigarettes Smokes per Day Contribute to the Incident of Malignant Cancer? Risky Kusuma Hartono1,2*, Sabariah Abd Hamid2, Muhammad Hafizurrachman1 Abstract Background: The incident of malignant cancer due to smoking habit becomes a public health problem especially in the developing countries. Active smokers neglect to stop smoking even though various studies proved that smoking increases the risk of cancer. While, previous studies have assessed the incident risk of cancer but have not performed the validity of the measurement. The aim of this study is to know the number of cigarettes that contribute to the incidence of malignant cancer. Methods: A study with retrospective cohort design has been conducted by using a set of public data of Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007 and 2014. All active smokers (n= 748) who were in good health condition in 2007, were traced in 2014 and then being diagnosed with cancer with considering age, gender, healthy eating habit, and regular physical activity. Data has been analysed by using logistic regression by performing Adjusted Risk Ratio (ARR) and the result of validity measurement. Results: The incident of malignant cancer in 2014 were skin, liver, stomach and oral cavity. Smoking 21-30 per day in 2007 were significantly increased risk of having malignant cancer in 2014 at ARR: 6.88; SE:6.13 with the accuracy were 93.8%. The risk and accuracy were higher if smoke >30 cigarettes per day (ARR:7.523; SE:7.019; accuracy 95.5%). -

Michael Marmot Secretary in Your Lifetime? I Have a Dog in This Fight
BMJ CONFIDENTIAL Bevan or Lansley? Who was the best and the worst health Michael Marmot secretary in your lifetime? I have a dog in this fight. The best was Alan Johnson: Evidence based optimist we share a passion for reducing health inequalities. He commissioned me to do the Marmot Review, which we published as Fair Society, Healthy Lives . It has proved to be a great way to work with local authorities, Public Health England, and many others on social determinants of health. Stephen Dorrell used his experience as health secretary to be an independent minded and analytical chair of the Health Select Committee. The worst? A crowded field.

1/11/2006 Health in an Unequal World Michael Marmot This Is a Lightly
1/11/2006 Health in an Unequal World Michael Marmot This is a lightly edited version of the (October) 2006 Harveian Oration at the Royal College of Physicians. It will be published in Clinical Medicine and the Lancet. In poor countries, tragically, people die unnecessarily. In rich countries, too, the higher death rate of those in less fortunate social positions is unnecessary. Can there be a link between these two phenomena: inequalities in health among countries and inequalities within? Surely, it might be argued, the depredations of grinding poverty – lack of food, shelter, clean water, and basic medical care or public health – that ravage the lives of the poor in developing countries are different in kind from the way that social disadvantage leads to poor health in modern Britain, for example. The diseases of the slums of Nairobi are, to be sure, different in kind from the diseases that affect the disadvantaged in east London or Harlem, and have different proximate causes. There is, however, a link. The unnecessary disease and suffering of the disadvantaged, whether in poor countries or rich, is a result of the way we organise our affairs in society. I shall argue, in this oration, that failing to meet the fundamental human need of autonomy, empowerment, or human freedom is a potent cause of ill-health. In making this case, I shall bring together two rather disparate streams of work. The first is a report of my own research endeavour. I have sought explanations for the social gradient in health, as observed in the Whitehall studies, pointing to the fundamental importance of the circumstances in which people live and work. -

The current challenges for public health in Poland were also discussed. It was proposed to differentiate two dimensions of public health capacity: internal (ad intra), which is with regard to the power centre, condition within the environment and external (ad extra), which refers to the relation with surroundings and population and enables to deliver sustain services and programmes. The possible strategies aiming at increasing ad intra capacity were also indicated.

Professor Sir Michael Marmot
Professor Sir Michael Marmot The degree of Doctor of Medicine (honoris causa) was conferred upon Professor Sir Michael Marmot at the Faculty of Medicine's 150th birthday celebrations held on 13 June 2006. Chancellor the Hon Justice Kim Santow conferring the honorary degree upon Professor Marmot, photo, courtesy Faculty of Medicine. Citation Chancellor, I have the honour to present Professor Sir Michael Marmot for admission to the degree of Doctor of Medicine, honoris causa. Sir Michael Marmot is a social epidemiologist of rare repute - indeed a founding father of that discipline. He has pioneered the academic study of how society influences health, particularly cardiovascular health, and of health inequalities both within and between countries. He chairs The World Health Organization Commission on Social Determinants of Health, which will report this year. The social and biological factors which Sir Michael has already identified as causes of disease and mortality have been as unexpected as they are preventable. The famous ‘Whitehall studies’ which he led showed that the higher people progressed in the hierarchy of the British civil service, the better their cardiac health and life expectancy - much better. The studies turned conventional wisdom about ‘executive stress’ upside down. He argues that limited personal autonomy and poor social participation are killers, acting via endocrine and metabolic pathways. This has major implications for political and corporate management policies, not to mention ‘participation policies’ for an aging population. Our leaders would do well to read his book called ‘Status Syndrome’. He is a distinguished graduate of this University. But the Medical Faculty’s 1968 Senior Year Book records, curiously, that Michael Marmot was born in 1945 and ‘became educated in 1966’. -
Social Determinants of Health Inequalities
Social Determinants of Health Inequalities Michael Marmot Professor of Epidemiology and Public Health, International Centre for Health and Society, University College London, 1-19 Torrington Place London WC1E 6BT UK e-mail: [email protected] Michael Marmot is chairman of the Commission on Social Determinants of Health Acknowledgements: Grateful thanks to Ruth Bell, Hilary Brown, Tim Evans, Alec Irwin, Rene Loewenson, Nicole Valentine, Jeanette Vega, and members of the WHO Equity team who have worked to develop the Commission and the concepts in this paper. Abstract: The gross inequalities in health that we see within and between countries present a challenge to the world. That there should be a spread of life expectancy of 48 years among countries and 20 years or more within countries is not inevitable. A burgeoning volume of research identifies social factors at the root of much of these inequalities in health. Social determinants are relevant to communicable and non- communicable disease alike. Health status, therefore, should be of concern to policy makers in every sector, not solely those involved in health policy. As a response to this global change, WHO is launching a Commission on Social Determinants of Health, which will review the evidence, raise societal debate, and recommend policies with the goal of improving health of the word’s most vulnerable people. A major thrust of the Commission is turning public-health knowledge into political action. 1 There are gross inequalities in health between countries. Life expectancy at birth, to take one measure, ranges from 34 in Sierra Leone to 81.9 in Japan. -
