conventional risk

This suggested a widening epidemic beyond conventional risk groups among aboriginals.

Some factors, such as normality of return, are not always accounted for by conventional risk measurement methodologies.

Using data collected over the past fifty years they find that the bond bears relatively low risk by conventional risk measures.

The Circulation study found calcium scans to be a better predictor of coronary events than looking at conventional risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol.

The results of both experiments were then plugged into conventional risk assessment models used by the National Cancer Institute.

These methods mimic conventional risk management practice, should involve either interest-bearing or speculation-bearing trading or even both.

Similar to conventional risk management practice, fuel price risk management is considered a continual cyclic process that includes the following:

Some cardiologists, however, are still not convinced that scanning predicts heart-attack risk more reliably than conventional risk factors do, or that it helps patients.

Put another way, people's sense of risk extends beyond the purely scientific considerations of conventional risk analysis, and the deficit model marginalises these 'externalities'.

Deconstructing anger can be tricky, and remains controversial, partly because anger is harder to measure than conventional risk factors like cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes.

Political impacts are often reduced to a rounding error in conventional risk analysis; as a result, many actors affected by political risk do not adequately plan for it.

Whereas conventional risk management approaches emphasise calculation of failure probabilities, resilience engineering looks for ways to strengthen the ability of organisations to create processes that are robust yet flexible.

Since President Bush is complacent about conventional risks from climate change, such as the prospect that those of us in Manhattan will end up knee-deep in the Atlantic, let's try fear-mongering.

A joint report of the American College of Cardiology , and the American Heart Association said that an exercise test is generally not appropriate in normal men without conventional risk factors.

Five years ago, at the age of 60 and without any conventional risk factors or symptoms, I received a diagnosis of coronary artery blockage - over the phone, from a cardiologist 3,000 miles away - and underwent emergency quintuple bypass surgery.

Since conventional risk analysis for fixed-income instruments usually assumes a parallel yield shift across all maturities, it would be most convenient if a parallel motion mode turned out to dominate the other modes, and in fact this is more or less what occurs.

A specialization of both financial risk management and oil price analysis - and similar to conventional risk management practice - fuel price risk management is a continual cyclic process that includes risk assessment, risk decision making, and the implementation of risk controls.

Subsequently, several studies have found higher mean homocysteine levels in patients with coronary, peripheral, and cerebral vascular disease, particularly in those with vascular disease not readily explained by conventional risk factors such as high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, or smoking.

Despite much press, most of the alternative risk factors including homocysteine, C-reactive protein (CRP), Lipoprotein (a), coronary calcium and more sophisticated lipid analysis have added little if any additional value to the conventional risk factors of smoking, diabetes and hypertension.
