Abstract:
0008 The purpose of the project was to provide assistance to Russia in establishing a national surveillance system for monitoring CVD risk factors. The Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which was developed in the US and is used by all State Health Departments, served as a template for the Russian system. Personal interviews, mail-based and telephone-based surveys were reviewed and considered. Questions were taken from previous Russian, European, and US surveys to collect information on smoking, alcohol use, fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, blood pressure, self-repo

536 Background: The aim of EDIFICE surveys is to improve insight into the behavior of the French population with regard to cancer prevention and participation in screening programs. The colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program is in place and targets the 50-74-yr age group. CRC prevention also relies on increased awareness of known risk factors (behavioral [BRF] or non-behavioral [NBRF]). This analysis focuses on awareness of CRC risk factors among the lay population and physicians. Methods: The 4th nationwide observational survey was conducted by phone interviews using the quota method. A re

Abstract:
Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases that has a profound impact on people’s well-being and our society. In this study, we link multiple large-scale data sources to construct an epidemiological model to predict asthma prevalence across geographic regions. We use: (1) the Social Media Monitoring (SMM) data from Twitter ( N = 500 million tweets/day), (2) the 2014 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) ( N = 464,664), and (3) the 2014 American Community Survey (ACS) conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau ( N = 3.5 million per year).

Abstract:
About 80% of all cancers are diagnosed in the elderly and up to 75% of cancers are associated with behavioral factors. An approach to estimate the contribution of various measurable factors, including behavior/lifestyle, to cancer risk in the US elderly population is presented. The nationally representative National Long-Term Care Survey (NLTCS) data were used for measuring functional status and behavioral factors in the US elderly population (65+), and Medicare Claims files linked to each person from the NLTCS were used for estimating cancer incidence.
