Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1989
HBC is common, accounting for approximately 9% of the total breast cancer burden. Given 142,000 cases of breast cancer expected to occur in 1989, this would represent 12,780 cases of HBC patients. Soberingly, each patient represents a family with a variable number of inordinately high risk patients.

Asthma epidemiology and risk factors
Seminars in Immunopathology, 2020Asthma is a clinical syndrome that affects all age groups. Asthma prevalence worldwide has seen a rapid increase in the latter part of the last century. Recent data has shown that asthma prevalence has plateaued and even decreased in some areas of the world, despite continuing to increase in other areas of the world.

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.

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.

: This article presents current knowledge on stroke epidemiology. It covers recent data on the global burden of stroke, disparities, silent stroke, traditional and novel risk factors, and stroke triggers as well as the clinical implications of these findings.: Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of chronic disability in the

BPH epidemiology and risk factors
The Prostate, 1989Benign enlargement of the prostate gland is extremely common with increasing age. The incidence of gross enlargement of the gland has been reported as 40% in 70 year-old males. Microscopic foci can be found in 80%. The disease seems to be most common in blacks, Caucasians, and Jews, but less frequent in males from the Far East.

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 ...

Environmental epidemiology and risk assessment
Toxicology Letters, 2008Epidemiology is the science of public health. Environmental epidemiology specially focuses on human health risks related to exposures in the general (non-occupational) environment. Epidemiology studies may contribute to human risk assessment by identifying hazards, by assessing human exposures to toxicants, and by establishing exposure response ...

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. A systematic approach is adopted to enable the reader to disentangle the different types of exposure and their resultant effects (if any) on leukaemogenesis.

Psychiatry, 2005
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 ...
