Race, definition

Race definitely comes into play. High blood pressure is far more common in blacks than in any other racial group, and it hits at an earlier age. But we know that African Americans are far more sodium sensitive than whites are and at the same time they have diets that are high in sodium, doubling the problem. The solution seems pretty obvious. Similarly, obesity and diabetes are more prevalent among blacks. Rather than wringing his or her hands in despair, the wise black individual will take appropriate action.

There are four normal rotational frequencies associated with rolling-element bearings fundamental train frequency (FTP), ball/roller spin, ball-pass outer-race, and ball-pass inner-race. The following are definitions of abbreviations that are used in the discussion to follow. 

Here you see the column definitions for PROC REPORT. Treatment, Gender, and Race are defined as ACROSS variables in order to get their categorical values to span columns as wanted. 

To avoid the stigma and discrimination that may result from misinformation, one must avoid the casual use of race or ethnicity in research and design. Where ethnicity is relevant to a particular area of research, care must be taken to define and justify the use of race and ethnicity for the purpose of that research. As general public knowledge of the role of the gene in biology and in the practice of medicine increases, the definitions of race and ethnicity are likely to evolve to suit the proper, rather than the superficial, use of such concepts in social discourse. 

Phase IV. Studies or trials conducted after a medicine is marketed to provide additional details about the medicine s efficacy or safety profile. Different formulations, dosages, durations of treatment, medicine interactions, and other medicine comparisons may be evaluated. New age groups, races, and other types of patients can be studied. Detection and definition of previously unknown or inadequately quantified adverse reactions and related risk factors are an important aspect of many Phase IV studies. If a marketed medicine is to be evaluated for another (i.e., new) indication, then those clinical trials are considered Phase II clinical trials. The term postmarketing surveillance is frequently used to describe those clinical studies in Phase IV (i.e., the period following marketing) that are primarily observational or nonexperimental in nature, to distinguish them from well-controlled Phase IV clinical trials or marketing studies.

Throughout the workshop discussion, as well as in scientific and nonscientific literature, the terms ethnicity and race are often used interchangeably. There are sensitivities surrounding these terms, and trying to get consensus on the definitions was beyond the scope of the workshop. It was recognized that both risk for disease and desirable and undesirable drug responses are variable across the human species, and the variability is dependent on both genetic and environmental factors, many of which may differ between populations. 

The actual level of pressure that can be considered hypertensive is difficult to define it depends on a number of factors, including the patient s age, sex, race, and lifestyle. As a working definition, many cardiovascular treatment centers consider that a diastolic pressure of 90 mm Hg or higher or a systolic pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher represents hypertension. In this chapter, ref-... 

The electron in Bohr s model has a definite path of travel, much like that of a race car on a track, whereas the electron in the probability model moves in a random manner and the best description of its location is a statistical likelihood. 

Koukopoulos and Koukopoulos (1999) proposed a definition of agitated depression as a major depressive episode with one of the following motor agitation, psychic agitation or intense inner tension, and racing or crowded thoughts. This condition, which has also been referred to as black mania, can worsen dramatically under the effect of antidepressants. ...
