Previous studies assessing nutritional status of alcoholic patients have been discordant, with some studies suggesting that increased alcohol consumption increases the prevalence of malnutrition in alcoholic patients (Hillers and Massey 1985), whereas other studies do not show a role for excessive, or chronic, alcohol consumption in malnutrition (Nicolas et al. 1993; Urbano-Marquez et al. 1989).
The presence of hypertension and dyslipidaemia is common and increases the prevalence of CVD.
The coexistence of established risk factors for CHD such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia and obesity in type 2 diabetics further increases the prevalence of CVD [49].
At very low doses levels there is no evidence of toxicity, but as the dose level increases the prevalence and severity of toxic effects increase.
Consequently, an impala's fear of being eaten increases the prevalence of thorny trees in safe areas, and safeguards less-thorny trees in risky areas.
Typically, treatment with either anti-cancer chemotherapeutics or anti-angiogenic drugs increases the prevalence of M2-type TAMs, which blunts the response to chemotherapy through several mechanisms [39, 40].
One of the most important factors driving the increase in CRC is the impact of an increasingly westernized lifestyle that significantly increases the prevalence of obesity and decreases physical activity in recent years in China (Goss et al., 2014; Varghese and Shin, 2014).
However, more recent studies have identified circumstances where predation increases the prevalence of infection [12].
Furthermore, the presence of IBS in patients with PS increases the prevalence of chronic bacterial prostatitis and non-inflammatory prostatitis.
Postprandial hyperglycemia reportedly increases the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (14).
Specifically, prenatal TSE increases the prevalence of childhood asthma.
