Review[Professional dance: an appraisal from the occupational health].
Dance is essentially an artistic discipline, with the dancer being exposed, as in any other occupation, to occupational risk factors. This document aims at identifying the characteristics about Professional Dance and its impact on the dancer's health. ⋯ Scientific production gets us closer to the health condition of dance professionals, but doesn't provide an insight on the cause-effect relationship of this profession's pathologies because most studies are merely descriptive. These studies underline the need of a deeper research on nutrition training, its stand before lesions, social and working conditions, and the training of dedicated professionals on occupational health in professional dance.

[Mortality associated to tobacco consumption in Galicia, Spain, 2001-2006].
In developed countries tobacco smoke is the preventable risk factor that causes more deaths. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of tobacco in the Galician adult (aged 35 and over) population from 2001 to 2006. ⋯ At general population level tobacco attributable mortality shows a stable pattern. This is probably related to a slight increase of mortality in young females and a decrease in males' mortality.
