“the effect of risk aversion on the demand for life insurance: the case of iranian life insurance market”
abstract: about 60% of total premium of insurance industry is pertained?to life policies in the world; while the life insurance total premium in iran is less than 6% of total premium in insurance industry in 2008 (sigma, no 3/2009). among the reasons that discourage the life insurance industry is the problem of adverse selection. adverse selection theory describes a situation where the inf...
15 صفحه اولMid- to Late-Life Trajectories of Blood Pressure and the Risk of Stroke: The Rotterdam Study.
Hypertension is a major modifiable risk factor for stroke. Associations of blood pressure with incident stroke are mostly based on single or average blood pressure levels. However, this approach does not take into account long-term trajectories of blood pressure, which can vary considerably in the elderly. Within the population-based Rotterdam Study, we examined trajectories of systolic blood p...
متن کاملMid- to Late-Life Trajectories of Blood Pressure and the Risk of Stroke
Hypertension is a major treatable risk factor for stroke, with an estimated attributable risk of 35% to 50%. Most studies that examined the association between hypertension and incident stroke used a single measurement or the average of blood pressure levels assessed over time. Results from such approaches have suggested that the risk of stroke increases with increasing blood pressure levels an...
متن کاملDemographic and clinical variables affecting mid‐ to late‐life trajectories of plasma ceramide and dihydroceramide species
It has been increasingly recognized at the basic science level that perturbations in ceramide metabolism are associated with the development and progression of many age-related diseases. However, the translation of this work to the clinic has lagged behind. Understanding the factors longitudinally associated with plasma ceramides and dihydroceramides (DHCer) at the population level and how thes...
متن کاملElevated body mass index and maintenance of cognitive function in late life: exploring underlying neural mechanisms
BACKGROUND Obesity is associated with vascular risk factors that in turn, may increase dementia risk. However, higher body mass index (BMI) in late life may be neuroprotective. The possible neural mechanisms underlying the benefit of higher BMI on cognition in older adults are largely unknown. Thus, we used functional connectivity magnetic resonance imaging (fcMRI) to examine: (1) the relations...
