Factors influencing health

Such longitudinal studies could show how social class factors influence health throughout the life cycle, and motivate investigations into the biological pathways linking class and health, e.g. the National Population Health Survey in Canada, begun in 1994. 

Because amine formation in fish muscle and other foods usually results from bacterial growth with concomitant production of a bacterial decarboxylase, this paper will concentrate on the mechanisms of bacterial decarboxylation and factors influencing the production and activity of the enzymes. Also, because of the overall scope of the subject, the availability of excellent reviews on bacterial decarboxylation (2, 3) and the public health importance of histamine in fish and fishery products, this paper will primarily be limited to a discussion of histidine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.22) and the formation of histamine in fish muscle.

Parallel to the advance of pharmaceutical innovation, other determinants of health outcome may also change over time, such as income level and personal health care expenditures on other types of care. Because of the limitation of data sources, we are unable to construct the disease-specific data for health care expenditure and income. Rather, we use the average annual household income and time trend to control the influence of social and economic factors on health outcome. For simplicity, we assume that the health effect of pharmaceutical innovation occurs without lag when we extend our regression to include other explanatory variables.

Based on successful development and implementation on a commercial scale, BMS made the decision in 2002 to discontinue the semi-synthetic Taxoi route and focus solely on the PCF route. The factors influencing this decision were primarily related to the Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) challenges, although there was also significant financial incentive for BMS to pursue the alternative technology.

Human factors involve the study of interrelationships among humans, the tools they use, and the environment in which they live and work. Aviation and nuclear power industries have realized for years that humans make errors and systems must be designed to minimize human consequences. The health care industry has been slow to recognize these human factors. Environmental and other human factors influence how and when errors are likely to occur.

Cahen et al. [25] found that the prevalence of both calculus and caries increased with age in an oral health study of 1993 young adults but did not report any correlation between the two parameters. In an earlier study [26] of 2000 children, the same research group estimated calculus to be fourth in the order of factors influencing caries prevalence after subject age, social group of father, and sex. The correlation between caries and calculus was negative, in agreement with expectation.
