Leukaemia epidemiology and radiation risks
Blood Reviews, 1992This review deals with the associations between exposure to ionising and non-ionising irradiation and the risks of leukaemia.

Abstract There is a large literature on the epidemiology of schizophrenia, but a number of key points are particularly pertinent. The incidence of schizophrenia is highest among males and certain ethnic minority groups. An urban birth and upbringing is a risk factor for schizophrenia, but the size of this effect at the individual level is small ...

Breast Cancer Epidemiology and Risk Factors
2000Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in the Western society. Over the past decades it has become apparent that breast cancer incidence rates are increasing steadily, whereas the mortality rates for breast cancer have remained relatively constant. Information through the media on this rising number of cases has increased breast health

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death and disability in developed countries. Heart disease and stroke are among the top five leading causes of death. This chapter shows the data that CAD is and will continue to become a global burden of disease and, by 2035, nearly half of the US population will have some form of cardiovascular ...

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors: Epidemiology and Risk Assessment
The American Journal of Cardiology, 2010Current epidemiologic predictions show that the world is heading for a vascular tsunami of pandemic proportions. The number of people at high risk from cardiovascular disease is increasing; recent cohort studies suggest that only 2%-7% of the general population have no risk factors at all, and >70% of at-risk individuals have multiple risk factors. The

Epidemiology of cardiovascular risk factors: Behavioural risk factors
Archives of Cardiovascular DiseasesCardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have a multifactorial origin. Among the risk factors, so-called behavioural risk factors play a major role in the onset of these diseases: smoking, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle, alcohol, sleep disorders, depression and illicit drug use are among the main behavioural risk factors for ...
