Strokes in young adults: epidemiology and prevention
modifiable risks such as smoking, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia are very high in young stroke population.
stroke is a leading cause of disability
ischemic stroke in young adults was the highest type of stroke to have
among different ethnicities and races black and hispanic are the highest
Hypertension is a factor in more than 50% if strokes worldwide
The risk of stroke is 2-6 times higher in patients with diabetes.
Nutrition and exercise can reduce the possibility of a stroke exponentially.
Epidemiology and Mechanisms of the increasing incidence of colon and rectal cancers in young adults
early onset of CRC now accounts for 10-12% of all CRC diagnoses.
Mississippi and Kentucky had the highest incidence rates of CRC early-onset
This may be because of the geographic location, unemployment, and poor access to healthcare.
germline variants are associated with increased risk for CRC
genetics plays a big part in CRC also
young adults are more like to have poor differentiated tumors. Which means the tumor is more aggressive.
Evidence Based Public Health Chapter 2
Health Problem:
Burden of disease: the occurrence of disability and death due to a disease
morbidity: disability
mortality:death
course of disease: how often the disease occurs, how likely it is to be present currently, and what happens once it occurs.
Understanding the distribution of a disease can help us generate ideas or hypotheses about the cause of it because epidemiologists can study the patterns of frequency in the disease
for example: smoking causes lung cancer
contributory cause: A "cause' and "effect"
necessary cause: something that needs to be present for a disease to occur
distribution of disease: who gets the disease, where are they located, and when does the disease occur.
recommendations need to be implemented for change to occur.
These results of implementation need to be studied overtime to evaluate the results and see if they continue to work.
