  5. 14. Cardiovascular risk factors in Cochabamba, Bolivia : estimating its distribution and assessing social inequalities

    Författare :Yercin Mamani-Ortiz; Paola Mosquera; Miguel San Sebastian; Isabel Goicolea; Patrik Wennberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) is considered one of the most important public health problems worldwide and especially in Latin American (LA) countries. Although the systematic surveillance of chronic diseases and their risk factors has been recommended, Bolivia has not yet implemented a national strategy to collect and monitor CVRF information.

  7. 15. On ionising radiation and breast cancer risk

    Författare :Anders Mattsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :ionising radiation; breast cancer induction; cancer induction; risk models; risk modification; pooled analysis; mammmographic screening; gained lost years of life;

    Sammanfattning : Background: It is well known that exposure to ionising radiation increases the risk for breast cancer occurrence. However, better understanding of breast cancer risks in terms of dose-response relationships formulated according to radiobiological target theories, age-at-exposure patterns and temporal dependence are important for the understanding of the underlying biological mechanism of radiation carcinogenesis as well as for the concern about possible risks associated with the very low doses received from routine mammographic screening.
