Epidemiology of the Vasculitides
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2003The past year has seen some notable publications in the field of vasculitis epidemiology. The appearance of reports from several different parts of the world has permitted comparisons to be made. In Europe, Wegener granulomatosis appears to be more common at high latitudes, whereas microscopic polyangiitis shows the reverse pattern. Kawasaki disease is

The Epidemiology of Osteosarcoma
2009Osteosarcoma derives from primitive bone-forming mesenchymal cells and is the most common primary bone malignancy. The incidence rates and 95% confidence intervals of osteosarcoma for all races and both sexes are 4.0 (3.5-4.6) for the range 0-14 years and 5.0 (4.6-5.6) for the range 0-19 years per year per million persons.

The epidemiology of osteoporosis is reviewed in this article. Attempts were made to answer the following questions: How should osteoporosis be defined? How can risk factors and bone mineral density (BMD) measurements be applied to diagnose osteoporosis? How do the rates for osteoporotic fractures vary by country, sex, age and time?

Planning for medical care delivery demands epidemiologic expertise. Epidemiology needs conceptual expansion in order to meet this new challenge. This paper sketches some aspects of the historical development of epidemiology. Three basic dimensions of morbidity are discussed: the biologic gradient of disease, duration (time), and the ...

The prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate in many parts of the world. In White populations living in the west and north of Europe, Australia, and the United States, the prevalence of obesity is similarly high in men and women. In countries with relatively low gross national product, such as those in Central and Eastern Europe, Asia ...

Anaphylaxis is the most severe manifestation of a mast cell-dependent reaction. It is a rare disease and most recent data indicates a continuous increase of affected individuals. Limitations regarding the incidence of anaphylaxis are the lack of a unique definition and the fact that patients are often seen by different medical specialties (e.g ...

Headache disorders constitute a public-health problem of enormous proportions, with an impact on both the individual sufferer and society. Epidemiological knowledge is required to quantitate the significance of these disorders. The effects on individuals can be assessed by examining prevalence, distribution, attack frequency and duration, and headache ...
