at risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, or cancer.
Obesity increases your pet's
risk of developing diseases like heart disease, type two diabetes, arthritis, and some types of cancer, which can shorten their lifespan significantly.
Previous studies have reported association between birth weight and
future risk of developing diseases; this new work demonstrates a role for genetic variation in this correlation.
In the future, testing for these genes could help pick out women who are most
at risk of developing the disease - or they could be explored as targets for new drugs.
Studies over the past twenty years have shown that maintaining lean body mass and aerobic fitness
reduce risk of developing diseases such as type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis, high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, respiratory conditions, and many forms of cancer.
Given that most women with breast cancer have a low
risk of developing the disease in their contralateral breast, women who are not known to be at very high risk but who remain concerned about cancer development in their other breast may want to consider options other than surgery to further reduce their risk of a contralateral breast cancer.
Increased fiber intake is associated with a reduction in hunger, a reduction in body weight, increased insulin sensitivity, and a
lowered risk of developing diseases [1][2][3].
Benefits: The results of this work may help to lower the incidence of this ocular disease in Appaloosas and other breeds, help breeders to make informed mating decisions, and be utilized by veterinarians to predict
risk of developing disease for earlier diagnosis and treatment.
Myriad Genetics is a leading molecular diagnostic company dedicated to making a difference in patient's lives through the discovery and commercialization of transformative tests to assess a
persons risk of developing disease, guide treatment decisions and assess risk of disease progression and recurrence.
«Applying these 25 variants, we found that men in the top one per cent for testicular cancer risk were at a more than ten-fold
elevated risk of developing the disease compared with the average — although that still adds up to only around a five per cent (one in twenty) chance of developing testicular cancer.
By joining information about our genome with other clinical and diagnostic information, patterns can be identified and help to determine our
individual risk of developing disease, detect illness earlier and determine the most effective interventions to improve our health.
«Because big genetic studies have been done on schizophrenia and autism and other diseases, you can calculate someone's
risks of developing those diseases from their genetic information and you can see if it's associated with contagious yawning,» she said.
Over the past several years, researchers have noticed an odd pattern in the relationship between body weight and Alzheimer's disease: Middle - aged people have a higher long - term
risk of developing the disease if they're overweight or obese, while older people have a lower risk of the disease if they're carrying excess weight.
Special emphasis should be placed on ensuring that patients who are at a high -
risk of developing the disease understand the importance of cancer screening, and that they are being examined by experienced dermatologists before developing invasive disease.
Professor Green said that unlike most of the world's populations, thiamin (vitamin B1) deficiency is still common in Cambodia and throughout South - East Asia, putting people at
risk of developing a disease called beriberi.
If the classic approach on leeching amyloid - beta out of the brain was producing only colossal failure, they said, why not zero in on a key genetic trigger linked to a well -
defined risk of developing the disease?
This is especially valuable for those patients with diseases that compromise or create an abnormal immune system as well as for those apparently healthy individuals who are at higher
risk of developing diseases due to family history or exposure to certain environmental conditions.
As pets enter senior years, they are at
risk of developing diseases common to senior human counterparts, such as diabetes, cataracts, arthritis, hypothyroidism and cancer.
The researchers found an overall increase in melanoma risk among men who used PDE5 inhibitors, but they hypothesized that if a cause and effect exists, higher use of erection medications would be associated with
higher risk of developing the disease.
Regardless of their breed or size, both geriatric cats and dogs are at
risk of developing diseases such as kidney disease, often characterized by excessive drinking of water, combined with increased urination, and often, weight loss.
Researchers from the University of Southampton pooled together data from nine studies with a total of more than 430,000 participants — of which 1,990 had liver cirrhosis — and found that drinking coffee everyday was linked to a significantly
lower risk of developing the disease.
Johns Hopkins Develops Pancreas Cancer Screening Model People with a family history of pancreas cancer now have a way to predict accurately their chance of carrying a gene for hereditary pancreas cancer and their
lifetime risk of developing the disease.
By joining information about our genome with other clinical and diagnostic information, patterns can be identified and help to determine our
individual risk of developing disease, detect illness...
It is our mission to make a difference in patient's lives through the discovery and commercialization of transformative tests to assess a
persons risk of developing disease, guide treatment decisions and assess risk of disease progression and recurrence.
Once upon a time, a myth circulated throughout mothers that food must be introduced to babies between 4 - 6 months to reduce
the risk of developing diseases, like diabetes and celiac disease.
It is also shown that
the risk of developing the disease can be reduced when the child is breastfed and preferably starting with small amounts of gluten while breastfeeding is still ongoing.
