Prediction of chronological age based on Demirjian dental age using robust ridge regression method
Introduction: Estimation of age has an important role in legal medicine, endocrine diseases and clinical dentistry. Correspondingly, evaluation of dental development stages is more valuable than tooth erosion. In this research, the modeling of calendar age has been done using new and rich statistical methods. Considerably, it can be considering as a practicable method in medical science that is...
متن کاملMinimal risk in pediatric research as a function of age.
The minimal risk standard allows institutional review boards (IRBs) to approve pediatric research when the risks do not exceed the risks children face in daily life or during routine examinations. The fact that the risks children face in daily life vary with age raises the question of whether IRBs should implement this standard by adopting 1, 2, 3, or even more risk standards. The level of rese...
متن کاملCoronary age as a risk factor in the modified Framingham risk score
BACKGROUND: Clinical guidelines emphasize risk assessment as vital to patient selection for medical primary intervention. However, risk assessment methods are restricted in their ability to predict further coronary events. The most widely accepted tool in the United States is the Framingham risk score. In these equations age is a powerful risk factor. Although the extent of coronary atheroscler...
متن کاملCoronary risk assessment and arterial age calculation using coronary artery calcium scoring and the Framingham Risk Score.
Accounting for one in five deaths, coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death among Americans.1 Risk assessment for future coronary events is important in management of patients who have no symptoms of cardiovascular disease (primary prevention). The European Prospective Cardiovascular Münster (PROCAM) Study and Systemic Coronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE), along with the American...
متن کاملMarkers of arterial health could serve as accurate non-invasive predictors of human biological and chronological age
The decline in functional capacity is unavoidable consequence of the process of aging. While many anti-aging interventions have been proposed, clinical investigations into anti-aging medicine are limited by lack of reliable techniques for evaluating the rate of ageing. Here we present simple, accurate and cost-efficient techniques for estimation of human biological age, Male and Female Arterial...
