Epidemiology and Risk Factors of Melanoma
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2020The incidence of melanoma continues to increase worldwide. In the United States, melanoma is the fifth most common cancer in men and the sixth most common cancer in women. The risk factors contributing to melanoma have largely remained unchanged, but there is a new focus on modifiable risk factors including sun exposure and ultraviolet light.

What we know: No one gene is a major cause of asthma. Some racial groups are more at risk of asthma than others. Early exposure to domestic animals appears to reduce the chance of developing asthma. Good hygiene may increase the likelihood of asthma. Impaired early airway function predisposes to asthma.

Definition, epidemiology, risk factors
Diabetes & Metabolism, 2010Gestational diabetes mellitus is defined as carbohydrate intolerance that begins or is first recognized during pregnancy. Its prevalence, generally situated between 2-6%, may reach 10-20% in high-risk populations, with an increasing trend across most racial/ethnic groups studied.

Epidemiology and risk factors of osteoporosis
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1993Recent osteoporosis research has been oriented increasingly toward understanding the determinants of peak bone mass acquisition during childhood and adolescence. Genetic factors may account for approximately half of the variability in peak femoral bone mass density, and racial differences in bone mass have been shown to appear early in life.

The epidemiological concept of residual risk
Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2011Residual cardiovascular risk can be defined as the residual risk of incident vascular events or progression of established vascular damage persisting in patients treated with current evidence-based recommended care including the risk that established from risk factors, such as dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, and the risk related to emerging or newer

Epidemiology and risk factors for IBD
Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2015IBD, comprising Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, is a chronic immunologically mediated disease at the intersection of complex interactions between genetics, environment and gut microbiota. Established high-prevalence populations of IBD in North America and Europe experienced the steepest increase in incidence towards the second half of the ...

Epidemiology and Risk Factors in Urolithiasis
Urologia Internationalis, 2007Stone formation in the urinary tract affects about 5–10% of the population in industrialized countries, although it is very rare in other countries such as Greenland or Japan. The high incidence and recurrence rate contribute to making the urolithiasis a serious social problem.

Risk models in genetic epidemiology
Statistical Methods in Medical Research, 2000Advances in the identification and treatment of genetically transmitted diseases have lead to an increased need for reliable estimates of genetic susceptibility risk. These estimates are used in clinic settings to identify individuals at increased risk of being a carrier of a disease susceptibility allele as well as to define the probability of ...

Risk Factor and Causality in Epidemiology
2014The scientific and public health claim that smoking is a cause of lung cancer or cardiovascular diseases dates back to the mid-1960s. Nevertheless smoking is neither a necessary nor a sufficient condition for lung cancer. One of the main indicators for causality is that, at the population level, smoking highly increases the probability of having lung ...
