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.

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 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.

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 ...

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

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.

Epidemiologic risks for food allergy
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2008This article reviews possible risk factors and theories for the development of food allergy. It is noted that previous strategies to prevent food allergy through allergen avoidance during pregnancy, breast-feeding, and infancy have more recently been called into question.
