Participants in this study were asked to complete the state anxiety (STAI-Y1) form only as trait anxiety is not expected to be modifiable based on the knowledge of the BCI results.
The factors were subcategorized as "modifiable", "potentially modifiable", and "non-modifiable" based on the potential control a program may exert over that factor.
We have shown that age and modifiable (lifestyle based) risk factors are responsible for all of the increase in diabetes prevalence in men and most of the increase in women.
Further research is required to understand factors that influence decisions to WLST in severe TBI patients, since these decisions may be modifiable and based on physicians' and surrogates' perceptions of prognosis.
The CHOICE study seeks to address these questions in an effort to strengthen the evidence base on modifiable lifestyle factors, specifically weight loss, and their effects on long term survival following treatment for breast cancer.
Evolutionary biology is a non-dogmatic system of modifiable theories that is based exclusively on empirical facts and data (Kutschera and Niklas 2004; Kutschera 2008a, b, 2009; Scott and Branch 2009; Coyne 2009) (Fig. 6).
Fourth, prevention strategies based on modifiable risk factors for HAP should be implemented.
Here again, accurate information on absolute risk is necessary but should primarily be based on modifiable risk factors.
Participants were classified as being at high, moderate or low risk based on three modifiable factors known to contribute to poor health: cigarette smoking, excess weight and inactivity.
Based upon both modifiable risk factors like cholesterol level and smoking, and factors that are beyond one's control, like family history and age, it is possible to calculate the chance that a person will have a first heart attack in the next 10 years.
It would therefore be very useful to develop a screening strategy based on additional, modifiable, risk factors to enhance the yield of screening without having too much false positives, and to make interventions possible.
