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.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism – epidemiology, mortality and risk of complications
Clinical Endocrinology, 2015SummaryObjectivePseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is caused by a mutation within the GNAS gene or upstream of the GNAS complex locus.

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 ...

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 ...

Epidemiology, risks and pathogenesis of obesity
Meat Science, 2005Obesity is operationally defined using a relationship of height and weight called the body mass index. Using this measure, more than 60% of Americans are overweight and over 30% are obese. To determine the importance of the body mass index, which would also label many athletes "overweight", we also need assessment of central fatness, and the medical ...

Stroke poses a significant global health burden. Many modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors have been studied. Controlled trials have shown that interventions that affect many modifiable risk factors (HTN, lipids, carotid stenosis, and atrial fibrillation) can reduce stroke risk.

Epidemiology and Risk Factors in Childhood
1977By now everyone is familiar with the risk factors of premature coronary heart disease: elevated serum cholesterol, hypertension, and cigarette smoking (1) — the big three, followed closely by obesity and diabetes. Age, sex, and inheritance are equally potent risk factors, but since they are beyond the individual’s control in the preventive sense, they ...
