Obesity Research, 2001
AbstractOvereating is a relative term. It refers to the consumption of an energy intake that is inappropriately large for a given energy expenditure, thus, leading to obesity. There are several key environmental and cultural factors that have converged in the past few decades to markedly increase the risk of both active and passive (inadvertent ...

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1993
In the United States the hazards posed by chemicals are often enormously exaggerated. In "calculating" risks of human cancer and establishing regulations, the United States Environmental Protection Agency makes a series of "conservative" assumptions that have no sound scientific basis. In consequence, trillions of dollars could be wasted. Exaggerations

Medical Clinics of North America, 1989
Evidence implicating obesity as a risk-factor disease is critically reviewed. Possible reasons for the many conflicting findings are addressed. The classification of obesity, based upon the site of body fat distribution, and possible biologic mechanisms associating regional adiposity with morbidity, are discussed.

IS LIGHT-AT-NIGHT A HEALTH RISK FACTOR OR A HEALTH RISK PREDICTOR?
Chronobiology International, 2009In 2007, the IARC (WHO) has classified "shift-work that involves circadian disruption" as potentially carcinogenic. Ample evidence leaves no doubt that shift-work is detrimental for health, but the mechanisms behind this effect are not well understood.

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1980
To the Editor.— The article by Robert M. Veatch, PhD (243:50, 1980), provides a useful conceptual framework for determining the relative responsibilities of the individual, the physician, and society at large in dealing with voluntary risks to health. Social theories are created to explain human behavior that is, to a great extent, amorphous. Theories

Quantification of Health Risks
2013Health, health determinants, and also the consequences of (ill) health: all these items imply considerable complexity. When trying to define and operationalize these concepts, especially in quantitative terms, difficulties emerge. Within the field of Public Health, correspondingly, both qualitative and quantitative approaches are established, and they ...

It is somewhat of a truism to say that without exposure no toxic chemical can cause adverse health effects. Over four hundred years ago, Paracelsus(l) said words to the effect that “dosage alone determines toxicity.” Thus, no matter how toxic a chemical may be, its potential risk to humans (or to the environment) is controlled by potential exposure ...

Health risks and the health care professional
Medicine, Health Care and Philosophy, 2000Health care professionals are one of a large group of individuals who are exposed to significant risks by virtue of their occupation, such as the police, mountain rescuers, fire-service. The types of risk to which health care professionals are exposed are numerous, many of which remain largely unrecognised by the public and may even be underestimated ...

Environmental Health Risks and Tradable Health Risk Permits
Environmental and Resource Economics, 1999Health risk permits are suggested as an instrument for the systematic management of all health-relevant pollutants. These permits are denominated in statistical deaths due to pollution and have to be acquired by firms which emit pollutants inimical to health.
