This Archive of Older Conference Statements is provided solely for historical purposes. Due to the cumulative nature of medical research, new knowledge has inevitably accumulated in these subject areas in the time since these statements were prepared. Thus some of the material is likely to be out of date, and at worst simply wrong. The statements may, however, continue to be useful to the research community as a reference for understanding what was known about a topic at a particular point in time, including whether gaps in research identified at the time of each conference have since been filled. It is for this purpose that the conference statements will remain available in this format indefinitely. For reliable, current information on these and other health topics, we recommend consulting the National Institutes of Health's MedlinePlus http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/.
