Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis
1978Nearly three decades of intensive epidemiological investigation have identified a group of characteristics that predict an individual’s probability of developing clinically manifest disease due to atherosclerosis -- myocardial infarction, sudden death, angina pectoris, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease.

Abstract In common with most chronic diseases, strokes do not have single causes, but seem to be multifactorial in their causation. However, even in infectious diseases that have a single cause, such as mycobacterium tuberculosis, the risk of being infected, and then of developing tuberculosis, is dependent on a chain of causal factors ...

Risk Analysis, 2000
Risk perception is a phenomenon in search of an explanation. Several approaches are discussed in this paper. Technical risk estimates are sometimes a potent factor in accounting for perceived risk, but in many important applications it is not. Heuristics and biases, mainly availability, account for only a minor portion of risk perception, and media ...

Risk factors for schizophrenia
Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2001Over the last decade, much progress has been made towards identifying risk factors for schizophrenia. It is now thought that many genes of small effect contribute towards risk of developing schizophrenia and some of these probably confer susceptibility to environmental factors.

It is no longer reasonable to divide cancers into those that are genetic in origin and those that are environmental in origin. With rare exception, carcinogenesis involves environmental factors that directly or indirectly exert a change in the cell's genome.

Scandinavian Journal of Urology and Nephrology, 2008
The association between exposure to selected chemical carcinogens, occupations or industries and bladder cancer is well established, and it is estimated that 20-27% of bladder cancers are attributable to occupational exposures. The risk of bladder cancer stemming from an occupational exposure depends not only on compound carcinogenicity, exposure ...

Risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma
European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, 2007Cholangiocarcinoma occurs with a varying frequency in different areas of the world. Some of the variations in incidence rates can be explained by the distribution of risk factors in different geographic regions and ethnic groups. Several accepted risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma include infestation with liver flukes, primary sclerosing cholangitis ...

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1989
Hypertension increases cardiovascular morbidity and mortality two- to fourfold. The chief hazards are now atherosclerosis and coronary disease. Risk is proportional to the degree of systolic or diastolic blood pressure elevation at any age, in either sex.

Nursing Older People, 2011
Falls can be prevented by addressing identified risk factors. Tools vary according to location and circumstances surrounding the assessment. Older people living in the community should be screened for fall risk every year and assessed for risk factors after a fall.

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.
