For example, the risk of breast cancer is raised by alcohol and a high-fat diet, but lowered by childbearing and breastfeeding.
As a specific example, the risk of bowel cancer in men who do not drink is around 64 cases per 1000 men.
For example, the risk of MS in northern Europeans who carry a particular MHC variant is exacerbated by vitamin D deficiency, which weakens immune function.
For 50-year-olds, for example, the risk of death was seen as more than double in 1971 than what is expected in the later table.
For example, the risk of contamination arising from contact with surfaces and medical devices has received much attention due to the rise in incidence of healthcare acquired infections.
For example, the risk of heart attack and related cardiovascular disease was 14% lower for men drinking 0.8 drinks/day, and 18% lower for women drinking 0.9 drinks/day compared with none.
But by linking all of that data together, it may be possible to predict, for example, the risk of stroke in patients with certain types of arrhythmia, like atrial fibrillation.
In current conditions of profound uncertainty the state must assume risk – for example the risk of starting up infrastructure projects even if they are subsequently financed by the private sector, and of underwriting some of the risk of new bank lending.
Saunders spoke of his own anxieties, of being overwhelmed by Hemingway, Tom Wolfe, Kerouac - and his tricks for avoiding the problem: if you set a story about a cuckolded man in a theme park, for example, the risk of channelling Hemingway drops markedly.
This heat transfer mechanism plays a major role in many climate dependent ecological processes, especially during calm and clear sky night periods, when these loses can produce interface temperatures lower than ambient temperature increasing, for example, the risk of the dew condensation or the frost formation over the soil and the plants.
For example, the risk of contaminant spreading may be reduced due to reduced risks of erosion and landslides.
