The German paper does not address this crucial point, but in general a critical analysis of current scientific literature convincingly shows an association between both following a negative lifestyle behavior and experiencing a higher number of attacks [3 11] with a consequently higher risk of suffering from ischemic events [13].
Most probably it is related to the time of exposure on laser light and consequently higher risk of thermal damage of surrounding tissues.
Since it was found that elevation of systolic blood pressure predicts the metabolic syndrome and hypertension in later life best (with consequently higher risk for T2DM and CVD), we decided to include only the systolic blood pressure ranks in the analysis.[ 13] Characteristics of studies are shown in Table 1.
Emulsification means the formation of small oil droplets at the interface between oil bubble and intraocular fluids or tissues and it causes a dispersion of these droplets into the aqueous humor and vitreous humor with consequently higher risk of proliferative vitreoretinopathy, failed retinal detachment, inflammation, secondary glaucoma, and keratopathy, even after silicone oil removal [ 4, 5].
On the multidimensional level, in line with the assumptions of a biopsychosocial model, 34, 35 Gobbens et al 17 defined frailty as "a dynamic state affecting an individual who experiences losses in one or more domains of human functioning" with consequently higher risk for adverse outcomes.
The estimation of soil erosion area coverage indicated that approximately 784 ha (about 14%) of the study watershed showed strong water erosion and, consequently, high erosion risk.
HIV infection leads to immune system collapse, following a gradual destruction of CD4+T lymphocytes that causes a severe immune suppression and consequently a high risk of opportunistic infections.
The high infection rate in definitive hosts probably maintains a high level of contamination in frogs and snakes and consequently a high risk of sparganosis in local residents who have the habit of eating meat of frogs and snakes and some superstitious beliefs in medical properties of raw frog or snake meat [ 14].
What begins as an effort to diversify and reduce risk ends up creating overlap in the procurement channels available to an industry and consequently higher systemic risk.
Organ transplant recipients face life-long immunosuppression and consequently are at high risk of comorbidities.
