Coffee Consumption and Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness among African & Caucasian American in a Population-Based Study

They also show the inverse relation between coffee consumption and mortality. Including diseases like diabetes, strokes, cancer, respiratory infections, kidney failures and heart disease.

Some of the benefits of coffee consumption on health include; it protects diabetes type 2, Parkinson’s

Attempting to treat individuals that have alcohol related issues requires a depth of knowledge and skill, specifically, when providing care to individuals of differentiating ethnic and cultural backgrounds. The National on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) article discusses a multitude of resourceful information that is related to ethnicity, culture, and alcohol. Procuring detailed information that defines and discusses ethnicity, race, culture, cultural identification, ethnoculturally competence, and cultural competence provides a solid foundation for the beginner, intermediate, and expert clinician reading this material. This paper explores and offers an explanation of the author’s efforts to convey a clear, compelling and cogent message, the NIAAAs use of relevant sources to substantiate perspectives assumed, claims made and positions taken, and recommended strategies regarding suggested improvements to this article.

The apparent health disparities in AUD are multifactorial, likely affected by immigration experiences, risky drinking behaviors, racial discrimination, economic disadvantage, and variations in alcohol ­metabolizing genes (Chartier & Caetano, 2010).

Keep in mind that there are differing ethnicities within the races that we claim. For example, there are not just Asians, there are Chinese and Koreans that have different percentages of addiction for each. This is important to point out so that we take into consideration the diversity that exists within regular terms. Amongst men and women, men were reported to be the highest drug users, while drug use in LGBT populations presents no conclusive evidence of rates in substance abuse. However, some evidence seems to suggest that the LGBT population in particular are higher drug users then the rest of the population. This is likely because LGBT people face more discrimination in life which leads to shame and depression and then addiction to escape the pain. This chapter also points out that denial and secrecy commonly characterize alcoholism and drug abuse in all populations. Drug use in mental illness happen because people start to self treat what they think is wrong with them, then this leads to addiction. Alcohol rates in diverse populations very a lot in different races. When it comes to treatment and recovery in the different diverse populations there are many ways to recovering them that suits their

The aforementioned populations have a significant amount of diversity within their groups. It is imperative that clinicians who are providing alcoholism, alcohol abuse, alcohol addiction care pay attention to the specific national origin, immigration and migration histories, region and geographic distribution, generational and cohort influences. In addition, group and religious affiliations, discrimination and oppressive experiences, resources, lifecycle phases, and gender must be considered to allow the clinician and individual or group an enhanced treatment experience. Statistical data that was displayed allowed for a visual representation of the epidemiology of alcohol related complications. The NIAAA further discusses that drinking patterns often exhibit diversity within a subgroup of the same racial and ethnic group. The NIAAAs information was informative and something that is abundantly necessary to efficiently practice as a social worker or individual that will provide care to individuals of diverse

The sample and setting for the 4-CBCS study consisted of NHW, Hispanic, and Native American women, who were selected from a state tumor registry between the ages of 25-79 years old, who resided in non-reservation areas in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, or Utah at time of diagnosis. “Controls were selected with target age populations from sources ranging from commercial mailing lists to driver’s license lists, and frequency matched on ethnicity and 5-year age distribution of cases” (Kim et al., 2016, p. 2). The study’s instruments included a structured computer questionnaire given by trained interviews, done in both English and Spanish. It asked the participants about dietary intake for the year prior to diagnosis and height and weight was taken at the time of the interview. For the control group, information was collected on dietary intake for the year prior to being selected for the control group. Participation was 63% for Hispanic cases and 36% for the control, and 71% for NHW and 47% for the control (Kim et al., 2016).

Beth M. presented for an assessment as a single, American-Indian female; she identified her reasons for seeking services as being "I drink too much and it is causing problems for me." According to the criteria listed in the DSM 5, Beth presented with the symptomatology indicative of Alcohol Dependence. This being evidenced by continued alcohol use despite knowledge of having a persistent or recurrent physical or psychological problem that is likely to have been caused or exacerbated by alcohol (APA, 2014). Beth reported what appeared to be symptoms of depression; this being evidenced by her inability to sleep at night as well as complaints of poor eating habits. Criteria identified in the DSM 5 also included the client giving up or reducing important social, occupational, or recreational activities due to substance use; Beth reported to her clinician that she has repeatedly called into work (APA, 2014). One could contribute this to her maladaptive patterns of substance use but it

The study was shown pregnant women with a high coffee intake were at lower risk of any urinary incontinence (OR 0.78, 95% CI 0.64–0.98) compared with women not drinking coffee. Coffee intake and incontinence subtypes showed no significant associations whereas high tea consumption was specifically associated with a risk for overactive bladder (OR 1.34, 95% CI 11.07–1.67) and nocturia (OR 1.18, 95% CI 1.01–1.38). Results from co-twin control analysis suggested that the associations observed in logistic regression were mainly the result of familial effects (Tettamanti, Altman, Pedersen, Bellocco, Milsom & Iliadou, (2011). Their result was shown the coffee and tea consumption has limited or no effects on incontinence and other lower urinary tract symptoms. So, the result similar to this study, the findings do not support the common practice of advising women with UI and other lower urinary tract dysfunction to stop drinking coffee or

. Some researchers found that caffeine in coffee is beneficial to health. The Epidemiological studies (2015) said that caffeine has beneficial effects on skeletal muscle. They have revealed an association of coffee consumption with reduced incidence of a variety of chronic diseases as well as all-cause mortality. Currently, there is research has primarily focused on the effects of coffee or its components on various organ systems such as the cardiovascular system, with relatively little attention on skeletal muscle. Summary of current literature suggests that coffee has beneficial effects on skeletal muscle. Coffee has been shown to induce autophagy (A type of programmed cell death accomplished through self-digestion), improve insulin sensitivity,

A considerable amount of the studies suggested the association with coffee was probably because the majority of coffee consumers tend to be heavy tobacco smokers, thus tobacco consumption is the exposure and coffee is a confounding factor leading to pancreatic cancer. Additionally, it is critical to note coffee is the most common beverage consumed around the world, thus difficult to make a correlation of cause-effect relation with coffee. Nonetheless, Miguel Porta and colleagues suggested coffee is likely playing a different role—other than exposure and confounder— in pancreatic cancer. They suggest it is either acting as induction or inhibition of metabolic pathways, thus activating or deactivating carcinogenic chemicals. The other proposal is that coffee is inhibiting the relevant DNA repair mechanisms. Vinies states the second reasoning seems more realistic due to supportive information. As you can see, throughout his letter, Vinies argues longitudinal study designs with repeated measures are necessary to eliminate possible confounders altering

Over the years, there has been an emphasis on the need to watch one’s dietary intake in the wake of the many lifestyle and sedentary diseases. As a result, many healthcare practitioners have undertaken dietary counselling as a platform for preventive therapy to many diseases. In recent times, one key area that has received extensive attention in regards to nutrition is cancer. Despite the existence of many forms of cancer, global studies in conjunction with the National Cancer Institute agree that over 35% of cancer cases have a nutritional connection. The general inference that is made is that lifestyle factors such as exercise and diet contribute significantly to the health status and well-being of individuals including the possibility of developing cancer (Peisch, Blarigan, Chan, Stampfer, & Kenfield, 2016). One recent form of cancer that has a strong dietary and nutritional connection is prostate cancer. In the American context, prostate cancer is ranked as the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality within the male population only rivalled by lung cancer (Peisch et al., 2016). Epidemiologically, the statistical inferences suggest that over 33,000 men die of the disease annually from malignant cases that are reported each year in the US alone (Azrad et al., 2012). Consequentially, healthcare practitioners have sought to establish the linkage between prostate cancer and the nutritional intake such as milk and other plant products. Indeed, there are

I have read many times over the last few years that coffee is good for you. Others tell me often that it is not, to which I tell them it is, based on material I have read, but not researched. I do not recall much material stating that it is bad, but I know it is out there. Part of my research paper will be in pursuit of finding the facts about the health benefits and harms of the brew. From my limited reading in the past, I have learned that it naturally contains antioxidants that fight free radicals in your body,

One thing that is not yet known to many people is the fact that coffee is a leading beverage that carries with it the anti-aging effects. Also, a cup of coffee will carry with it a large number of antioxidants. These help the body fight toxicity. At the same time, antioxidants will help the body fight free radical damage. In fact, it has already been proven through research that coffee has more anti-oxidants that help fight free radicals than green tea, cocoa, herbal tea, and black tea.

He claims that drinking tea occasionally led to a less buildup of calcium that can inhibit the arteries’ function to transport blood to the heart. For this reason, this condition could cause heart disease, high blood pressure, or stroke. Thus, drinking tea is associated with a “36 per cent lower risk of heart disease compared to those who drank less than a single cup of tea per day” (Smith, 2016). Adversely, coffee is good for the digestive system in the body. Dr. Stephen Gruber, director of the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer center and senior author of the study indicated that there was a decreased risk that was seen across all types of coffee, both caffeinated and decaffeinated (Lambert, 2017). Dr. Gruber also reported that “coffee consumption decreases the risk of colorectal cancer” (Lambert, 2017).
