Geoffrey Kabat : ウィキペディア英語版 | Geoffrey Kabat Geoffrey C. Kabat is an American epidemiologist and cancer researcher. He is a senior epidemiologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine's Department of Epidemiology and Population Health.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geoffrey C. Kabat, PhD, MS )〕 == Scientific work == In 2003, Kabat, who then worked at the State University of New York, Stony Brook, co-authored a study in ''BMJ'' examining the association between passive smoking and tobacco-related mortality. The study concluded that its results "do not support a causal relation between environmental tobacco smoke and tobacco related mortality." The study was partly funded by the tobacco industry and was heavily publicized by it, and was criticized for using a dataset that did not include an "unexposed" group. In his book ''Hyping Health Risks'', Kabat describes the criticism of this study as scientific McCarthyism. In 2011, Kabat authored a study which found an association between high blood sugar levels and an increased risk of colon cancer. In 2013, Kabat published a study which found that taller women were at an increased risk of developing all types of cancer after menopause. Kabat and the other authors of this study noted that height should not be viewed as a risk factor for cancer but rather as a marker for exposures that increase the risk of cancer.
