Epidemiology<br>Ph.D.<br>In 2018, the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended that African American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer should discuss the pros and cons of PSA testing with their physician and engage in shared decision making. Identifying risk factors of prostate cancer, calculating individualized prediction of the risk of prostate cancer, and ensuring that the patients are well informed with knowledge to understand these risks so as to easily make decisions, are extremely important in shared decision making.

Abstract:
Density-dependent processes are crucial in the regulation of fish populations and strongly influence their resilience to exploitation and exposure to toxic chemicals. Multiple density-dependent processes occur at different stages in the life-cycle of fish, and a general pattern of such processes in the ontogeny of fish has been suggested but not clearly demonstrated in natural populations. This thesis aimed to provide a detailed experimental assessment of density-dependent processes through the entire life-cycle, using laboratory and semi-natural populations of zebrafish, Danio rerio, and to e

Abstract:
This thesis is about understanding the processes that explain the patterns of extinction risk and declines that we see in amphibians, how we can use that understanding to set conservation priorities, and how we can convert those priorities into practical, hands-on research and management. In particular, I focus on the threat posed by the emerging infectious disease, chytridiomycosis, which is caused by the chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd). Amphibians display a non-random pattern of extinction risk, both taxonomically and geographically. In chapter two I investigate the mecha

Despite the ubiquity of wildlife management, from reintroductions and supplemental feeding to culling and habitat destruction, very little is known of the effects of management practices on species’ social dynamics.

Understanding the effects of population management on social behaviour and organisation is a key step in understanding these species’ ecology.

Prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of death in men and women, is both a global and national public health priority. Prevention efforts have generally focused on well-known lifestyle (e.g., physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, smoking) and metabolic (e.g., overweight/obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia) risk factors. It is also important for public health strategies to consider emerging risk factors, innovative approaches to risk factors, and evidence in middle-aged men and women, to develop effective prevention strategies.

This study compared the prevalence of eating disorder behavior between collegiate athletes (n = 206) and college female nonathletes (n = 197). Numerous eating disorder studies conducted on the female college population have shown this population to be at greater risk of developing eating disorders than the general population. Furthermore, some studies have found that women athletes are even at higher risk of eating disorders, but the research has produced conflictual and inconclusive evidence. In this study, it was hypothesized that athletes would have higher rates of disordered eating.
