Adiposity and risk of prostate cancer death: a prospective analysis in UK Biobank and meta-analysis of published studies

BMC Medicine, 2022
Background The association of adiposity with prostate cancer specific mortality remains unclear. We examined how adiposity relates to fatal prostate cancer and described the cross-sectional associations of commonly used adiposity measurements with ...

Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality associated with individual and combined cardiometabolic risk factors

BMC Public Health, 2023
Background Previous studies have investigated the association between cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but evidence of the attributable burden of individual and combined cardiometabolic risk factors for CVD and mortality is ...

Population-Attributable Risk Percentages for Racialized Risk Environments

American Journal of Public Health, 2016
Research about relationships between place characteristics and racial/ethnic inequities in health has largely ignored conceptual advances about race and place within the discipline of geography.Research has also almost exclusively quantified these relationships using effect estimates (e.g., odds ratios), statistics that fail to adequately capture the ...

Implications of Risk Factors for Alzheimer’s Disease in Canada’s Indigenous Population

Canadian Geriatrics Journal, 2015
Background Indigenous peoples in Canada have higher prevalence of modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The relative importance of these risk factors on AD risk management is poorly understood.

Outcome after stroke attributable to baseline factors-The PROSpective Cohort with Incident Stroke (PROSCIS).

PLoS ONE, 2018
BackgroundThe impact of risk factors on poor outcome after ischemic stroke is well known, but estimating the amount of poor outcome attributable to single factors is challenging in presence of multimorbidity.
