| Abstract |
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common adult primary malignant brain tumor. Ninety percent of adult GBM patients die within 24 months after diagnosis. The etiology of GBM is unknown. The Honolulu Heart Program (HHP) and Honolulu-Asia Aging Study (HAAS) are prospective, cohort studies of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease based on 8,006 Japanese-American men followed since 1965. The Japan Hawaii Cancer Study provides data on incident cancer cases in the HHP/HAAS cohort. We used data from these studies to obtain epidemiologic information about GBM. GBM cases were identified by searching the 1965-1998 databases using International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) codes. Nine histologically confirmed GBM cases, 58-80 years old, were identified. The incidence rate was 6.2/100,000 person-years. Records of each case were reviewed. Selected variables from the first three examinations (1965-1968; 1968-1970; 1971-1974) were used to identify potential candidate GBM risk factors. A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model showed sugar intake and occupational exposure to carbon tetrachloride were independently and significantly associated with development of GBM. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 April 2022.
All research outputs
#7,876,843
of 24,677,985 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Neuro-Oncology
#1,069
of 3,159 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#54,247
of 168,249 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Neuro-Oncology
#3
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,677,985 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,159 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.4. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 65% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 168,249 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its contemporaries.
