Hispanic Ethnicity Differences in Birth Characteristics, Maternal Birthplace, and Risk of Early-Onset Hodgkin Lymphoma: A Population-Based Case-Control Study. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 2022; 31:1788-1795. [PMID: 35709749 PMCID: PMC9444874 DOI: 10.1158/1055-9965.epi-22-0335] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2022] [Revised: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/13/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hispanic ethnicity differences in the risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed at <40 years are understudied. We conducted a population-based case-control study to evaluate associations between birth characteristics and early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma with a focus on potential ethnic differences. METHODS This study included 1,651 non-Hispanic White and 1,168 Hispanic cases with Hodgkin lymphoma endorsing a range of races diagnosed at the age of 0 to 37 years during 1988-2015 and 140,950 controls without cancer matched on race/ethnicity and year of birth from the California Linkage Study of Early-Onset Cancers. OR and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated from multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS Having a foreign-born mother versus a United States-born mother (i.e., the reference group) was associated with an increased risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma among non-Hispanic Whites (OR = 1.52; 95% CI, 1.31-1.76; P < 0.01) and a decreased risk among Hispanics (OR = 0.78; 95% CI, 0.69-0.88; P < 0.01). Among both race groups, risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma increased with birthweight and maternal age (all Ptrends < 0.01). Among non-Hispanic Whites, each 5-year increase in maternal age (OR = 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04-1.18; Ptrend < 0.01) and paternal age (OR = 1.07; 95% CI, 1.02-1.13; Ptrend < 0.01) was associated with increased risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma. Compared with female Hispanics, male Hispanics had an increased risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma (OR = 1.26; 95% CI, 1.12-1.42; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Maternal birthplace may play a role in risk of early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma that differs by ethnicity. IMPACT The ethnic differences observed between certain birth characteristics, maternal birthplace, and early-onset Hodgkin lymphoma raise questions about the underlying biological, generational, lifestyle, residential, and genetic contributions to the disease.

Abstract
Many factors, including postponement of marriage, increased life expectancy, and improved success with assisted reproductive technologies have been contributing to increased paternal age in developed nations. This increased average paternal age has led to concerns about adverse effects of advanced paternal age on sperm quality, assisted reproductive outcomes, and the health of the offspring conceived by older fathers. This review discusses the association between advanced paternal age and sperm parameters, assisted reproduction success rates, and offspring health.

Birthweight and all-cause mortality after childhood and adolescent leukemia: a cohort of children with leukemia from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Washington State. Acta Oncol 2020; 59:949-958.

Abstract
Background: High birthweight may predispose children to acute lymphoid leukemia, whereas low birthweight is associated with childhood morbidity and mortality. Low and high birthweight have been inconsistently associated with mortality in children with leukemia.Material and methods: In a cohort of childhood and adolescent leukemia (0-19 years) patients from registries in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Washington State in the United States (1967-2015), five-year all-cause mortality was assessed by birthweight and other measures of fetal growth using the cumulative incidence function and Cox regression with adjustment for sex, diagnosis year, country, the presence of Down's syndrome or other malformations, and type of leukemia.Results: Among 7148 children and adolescents with leukemia (55% male), 4.6% were low (<2500 g) and 19% were high (≥4000 g) birthweight. Compared with average weight, hazard ratios (HRs) of death associated with low birthweight varied by age at leukemia diagnosis: 1.5 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.7, 3.2) for patients 0-1 year old, 1.6 (95% CI: 1.0, 2.6) for >1-2 years old; 1.0 (95% CI: 0.6, 1.5) for 3-8 years old; 1.0 (95% CI: 0.6, 1.8) for 9-13 years old; and 1.2 (95% CI: 0.7, 2.1) for 14-19 years old, and were similar for size for gestational age and Ponderal index. In analyses restricted to children born full term (37-41 weeks of gestation), results were only slightly attenuated but risk was markedly increased for infants aged ≤1 year (HR for low birthweight = 3.2, 95% CI: 1.2, 8.8).Conclusion: This cohort study does not suggest that low birthweight or SGA is associated with increased five-year all-cause mortality risk among children with any type of childhood leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia, specifically, beyond infancy.

Abstract
This review summarizes the impact of parental age on children's health outcomes beyond the perinatal period. In the last decades, delayed parenthood with both men and women has become a public health issue. For women, in particular, the size of this delay is substantial. For a few medical conditions, older parental age has a pronounced effect on child morbidity. For most other outcomes, a more modest effect is evident. Although these effects might be limited on an individual level, they have a substantial impact at the level of population health.
