EPIDEMIOLOGY OF NON-LIPID BEHAVIORAL RISK FACTORS - TOBACCO SMOKING AMONG THE HIV-INFECTED POPULATION OF THE CITY OF ANDIJAN

Abstract

Prospective epidemiological studies in representative populations have identified factors that influence the development, progression, and premature therapeutic continuum of CNC, termed risk factors. Most risk factors are lifestyle factors that are modifiable (behavioral or modifiable) and are of the greatest interest in epidemiological studies for the prevention of the therapeutic continuum. But there are other risk factors, such as age, gender, and genetic characteristics, that cannot be corrected (non-modifiable). It is enough to take them into account only when assessing and predicting individual, group and population risks of developing diseases and the continuum.
