Translating Germline Cancer Risk into Precision Prevention
Study of the biology of tumors caused by germline mutations has led to recent paradigm-changing therapy and is driving precision prevention efforts, including immune oncology and early detection research. Here, we explore recent biologic advances that are redefining the spectrum of cancers linked to various hereditary predisposition syndromes and can be leveraged to improve personalized risk as...
متن کاملPopulation Attributable Risk (PAR) of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) Risk Factors; Bayesian Methods
Background & Objective: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in most countries. By identifying the population attributable risk (PAR) of the main risk factors of CVDs, the overall effect of various exposures on a population can be determined; the findings could be used in CVD prevention. The present study aimed to explore the PAR of some factors, includin...

متن کاملImproving Cardiovascular Risk Profiles in Firefighters
Firefighters fall behind in the general public in meeting optimal levels of the seven American Heart Association metrics of cardiovascular health. Selected interventions for decreasing firefighter cardiovascular disease and risks are reviewed. Many cardiovascular risk factors are related to lifestyle and firefighters are at increased risk for cardiovascular events. Healthy People 2020 and the A...
متن کاملStandardized lifetime risk.
The authors propose the use of two new standardized measures of risk, the standardized lifetime risk and the standardized number of years of life lost. These measures maintain the advantages of standardized rates but are more readily understood without special training. In this paper, standardizing weights based on 1992 data from England and Wales are provided, and the new measures are illustra...
