Option B-Tobacco use increases the patient's concurrent risk of heart disease.

Several plants in the Solanaceae family genus Nicotiana go by the common name "tobacco," which is also the name for any product made from the cured leaves of these plants. N. tabacum is the most important commercial crop out of the more than 70 species of tobacco known. Some nations also employ the more powerful variety N. Rustica.

As well as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and shishas, dried tobacco leaves are mostly used for smoking. Additionally, they are available for snuff, dipping, chewing, and snus use.

Besides harmala alkaloids, tobacco also contains nicotine, a stimulant that is extremely addictive. Many fatal diseases, notably those that affect the heart, liver, and lungs, are caused by or at risk due to tobacco smoking.

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: program adherence, weight is an indirect measure

Explanation:

Program adherence is also called exercise compliance or adherence and it is used in describing how a patient is sticking to his or her exercise program and following the recommendations by their personal trainer or health professional.

With regards to the question, if the behavior of interest is program adherence, weight is an indirect measure. This is because weight in this case is used as a means to determine the calories burned and other vital components to be known. Weight is an indirect measure because we are really not interested in knowing the weight, it's just a means to an end.

faltersainse [42]

It looks like the finals are a triangle assembled by an ensemble. If yes, then each end has area

Rasek [7]

In the intervention group, 212 women (5.7 per 10,000 person-years) and 176 (4.7 per 10,000 person-years) received an ovarian cancer diagnosis (rate ratio [RR], 1.21; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99-1.48).

In the intervention group, there were 118 ovarian cancer-related deaths (3.1 per 10,000 person-years), compared to 100 in the standard care group (mortality RR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.82-1.71).

1080 of the 3285 women who had false-positive test results underwent surgical follow-up, and 163 of them (15%) had at least one significant consequence.

Except for ovarian, colorectal, and lung cancer, there were 2924 deaths from other causes (76.6 per 10 000 person-years) in the intervention group and 2914 deaths (76.2 per 10 000 person-years)

Simultaneous screening with CA-125 and transvaginal ultrasound in comparison to standard treatment did not lower ovarian cancer mortality among women in the general US population. Complications were linked to diagnostic examination after a false-positive screening test result.
