Public-health studies of populations residing in the vicinity of chemical-waste sites consistently show no significant adverse health effects.
Most of what is known of its ecology, however, is limited to studies of populations near Japan that were, until now, assumed to apply to all populations of the species.
Studies of populations (epidemiological research) have clearly demonstrated a strong association between low levels of LDL cholesterol and a lower risk of developing heart disease.
Her research focuses on molecular epidemiologic studies of populations exposed to several classes of chemical compounds that are known or suspected occupational and environmental carcinogens.
This indicates tests primarily developed for forensic ancestry analysis also provide an important contribution to studies of populations where useful samples are in limited supply.
The design of this study, with its relation to demographic and individual diversity, could serve as a model for studies of populations' exposure to other consumer products.
While a degree of uncertainty is allowable during studies of populations, which look for trends by comparing hundreds of genomes, it makes it impossible to make accurate predictions about one individual's health status.
Epidemiological studies of populations living in areas of low magnesium (Mg) intake have consistently shown a higher cardiovascular morbidity.
In general, studies of populations not selected according to CHD risk support the conclusion that the global type A construct is predictive of increased risk of coronary events.
Although it long has been suspected that endogenous pancreatic trypsin inhibitors protect against inadvertent activation of trypsinogen, this hypothesis has gained strength from recent biochemical investigations and genetic studies of populations suffering from chronic pancreatitis.
Other purposes for which headache impact might be measured in individuals are found in studies of populations and groups, often conducted as needs assessments to inform health policy and resource allocation [1, 2, 8 19].
