Increased mortality is likely to be explained by unequal access to care and non-standard treatment regimens frequently administered to African American women, but may also be attributed to genetic susceptibility, acquired co-morbid conditions and increased frequency of modifiable risk factors, albeit to substantially lesser extent.
Given the high frequency of modifiable amino acids in disordered proteins, low "penetrance" can lead to substantial chemical heterogeneity, which may, in turn, have functional consequences.
Results: Blood glucose monitoring frequency was the sole modifiable predictor of HbA1c (P <.0001).
Articles that focused on modifiable indoor exposures in relation to frequency or severity of exacerbation of asthma were selected for review.
It is characterized by a natural fluctuation between a low and a high frequency pattern under the influence of modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors [2].
Migraine is a paroxysmal disorder with a natural fluctuation between a low and a high frequency pattern in part influenced by modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors [5].
This finding is consistent with a review that showed high headache frequency to be an important modifiable risk factor in migraine chronification progression [44] and with previous studies stating that headache frequency in particular may be a risk factor for onset MOH [8, 45].
Thus, identification of risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, leading to the higher frequency of TNBC in AAW may reduce survival disparities by preventing the development of TNBC.
Modifiable factors influencing metabolic control are diabetes-related knowledge, frequency of blood glucose monitoring, and daily insulin dose (3, 4, 6, 7).
A psychological intervention might help to address "modifiable" risk factors for headache chronification [34], such as attack frequency, obesity, medication overuse, stressful life events, caffeine overuse, snoring, and other pain syndromes.
