The global burden of cancer attributable to risk factors, 2010–19: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Revisiting the bad luck hypothesis: Cancer risk and aging are linked to replication-driven changes to the epigenome

“…Aging is a leading carcinogen, with cancer risk increasing over 4,000% between the ages of 25 and 65 [1]. This staggering increase is not the entire cancer narrative [2], but it is the exigent characteristic of the disease. While some cancers-like those of the bone, brain, or nervous system-are diagnosed at higher frequencies in children and adolescence [3], recent studies suggest only one-third of all cancers are linked to ageindependent factors.…”

Association of Body Mass Index with Risk of Household Catastrophic Health Expenditure in China: A Population-Based Cohort Study

“…The former appears to be somewhat connected with health effects and medical insurance, and the latter is somewhat relevant to economic factors. It is common knowledge that higher BMI is related to worse health [ 25 , 26 , 27 ]. A recently published article revealed that high BMI was the third risk factors contributing to the global cancer burden of age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rates (133.9 per 100,000 person-years) [ 25 ].…”

A recently published article revealed that high BMI was the third risk factors contributing to the global cancer burden of age-standardized disability-adjusted life years rates (133.9 per 100,000 person-years) [ 25 ]. Another Mendelian randomization study also demonstrated that higher BMI was associated with increased risk of most cardiovascular conditions [ 26 ].…”

Human papillomavirus (HPV) genotype prevalence and impact of COVID-19 on the HPV prevention program in Duhok city

“…HPV genotypes can be classified according to their association with cancer as follows: high-risk (HR), probable high-risk (pHR), and low-risk (LR) genotypes [ 1 , 2 ]. Although cervical cancer is rare in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, recent data have shown a significant increase in cervical cancer incidence from 0.6 per 100 000 individuals in 2010 to 2 per 100 000 individuals in 2016 [ [3] , [4] , [5] ]. However, data on the prevalence of HPV in the Kurdistan Region are limited, and only a few studies have investigated the prevalence of the different HPV genotypes.…”
