TL;DR
In a weighted random sample of the specially enumerated population of a South Wales industrial town, examined by cholecystography for gallstones, there was no marked increase in prevalence with age in either sex.
Abstract
In a weighted random sample of the specially enumerated population of a South Wales industrial town, examined by cholecystography for gallstones, the overall prevalence rates were 6.2 per cent for men 45 to 69 years of age and 12.1 per cent for women of the same ages. Contrary to our expectation there was no marked increase in prevalence with age in either sex. Symptoms of dyspepsia said to be suggestive of gallstones were found with approximately equal frequency in those with and without gallbladder disease.

Journal of Clinical InvestigationThe physicochemical basis of cholesterol gallstone formation in man
1,063 Citations1968William H. Admirand, Donald Small
The physical state of bile is suggested that the presence or absence of insoluble cholesterol is determined by the relative concentrations of biles salt, lecithin, and cholesterol, and the other biliary constituents do not appear to significantly effect the solubility of cholesterol in bile.
Journal of Epidemiology & Community HealthIndices of obesity derived from body weight and height.
553 Citations1967T Khosla, C. R. Lowe
A reliable, practicable, and generally acceptable index of obesity would have important epidemio logical, actuarial, and clinical applications; but many difficulties stand in the way of providing such an index.
Journal of Chronic DiseasesThe epidemiology of gallbladder disease: Observations in the Framingham study

It would appear that more attention should be devoted to the anatomy and pathological physiology of the biliary tract in seeking a better understanding of the pathogenesis of gallbladder disease.

390 Citations1970Richard E. Sampliner, Peter H. Bennett +3 more
Pima females 15 to 20 years of age were shown to be at high risk of early development of gallbladder disease and to offer unusual opportunities for further epidemiologic and clinical studies.
BMJGall-bladder Dyspepsia
108 Citations1963W. H. Price
It is probable that high pressure in the renal tract or smooth-muscle spasm, or a combination of these two, is responsible for the pain, and evidence that a high pressure occurs proximal to the obstruction is provided by a recent experience.
New England Journal of MedicineUricosuric Action of Cholecystographic Agents
106 Citations1971Gilbert H. Mudge
The oral cholecystographic agents are highly lipid-soluble carboxylic acids and resemble probenecid and some other uricosuric agents in this respect.
BMJObservations on the Aetiology of Cholelithiasis
79 Citations1956G. Horn
There have been several investigations into the incidence of biliary calculi among post-mortem specimens, but the results have little significance to the clinician who is concerned with the occurrence of stones in living patients.
BMJIncreasing Frequency of Gall Bladder Operations in the Bristol Clinical Area
70 Citations1972Cindra Holland, K W Heaton
There has been a substantial rise in the incidence of gall stones since the second world war, and this belief is supported by data from the nationwide Hospital In-patient Enquiry.
RadiologyFurther Studies on the Accuracy of Oral Cholocystography
43 Citations1960Hillier L. Baker, John R. Hodgson
This study is a summary of results in the first full year (1957) in which this drug was used, and was impressed by the fact that the accuracy of the diagnosis seemed to have little relationship to the medium employed for the roentgen study.

1 Citations1973D Bainton, Gerald T. Davies +3 more
The increase in uric acid excretion produced by contrast agents used in cholecystography may be responsible for the acute renal failure that may rarely complicate this procedure, and it is possible that this might affect the usefulness of the choleCystogram as a diagnostic procedure.
