Multivariate geostatistical analysis: an application to ore body evaluation
It is now common in the mining industry to deal with several correlated attributes, which need to be jointly simulated in order to reproduce their correlations and assess the multivariate grade risk reasonably. Approaches to multivariate simulation which remove the correlation between attributes of interest prior to simulate and then re-impose the relationship afterward have been gaining popula...
متن کاملThe effect of massage on body mass index and head circumference of healthy neonates
Background: Several methods have been proposed to improve growth in neonates, including touch and massage therapy, however, there are conflicting results about the effect of massage. Therefore, this study was conducted with the aim of determining the effect of massage therapy on body mass and head circumference indicators of healthy infants and also according to gender. Methods: In this random...
متن کاملProspective studies of body mass index with head and neck cancer incidence and mortality.
BACKGROUND Results of a pooled analysis of case-control studies show a higher risk of head and neck cancer (HNC) associated with a low body mass index (BMI) and a lower risk associated with being overweight or obese compared with being normal weight. However, these results are prone to bias due to residual confounding by smoking, a strong risk factor, and possible weight loss prior to diagnosis...
متن کاملBody mass index and risk of subtypes of head-neck cancer: the Netherlands Cohort Study
Low body mass index (BMI) has been associated with risk of head-neck cancer (HNC), but prospective data are scarce. We investigated the association between BMI, BMI at age 20 years and change in BMI during adulthood with risk of HNC and HNC subtypes. 120,852 participants completed a questionnaire on diet and other cancer risk factors, including anthropometric measurements, at baseline in 1986. ...
متن کاملInfluence of body composition on survival in patients with head and neck cancer.
BACKGROUND Recent evidence has suggested links between obesity and outcomes for various types of cancer. This study investigates the impact that body composition has on survival in patients with head and neck cancer. METHODS Data prospectively collected from 578 patients were analyzed using Cox regression models to determine independent associations that pretreatment body mass index (BMI) and...
