Synopsis:
Epidemiology of Cannabis: Genotoxicity, Neurotoxicity, Epigenomics and Aging provides a novel and comprehensive exploration of four areas that have previously been associated with cannabis use, namely mental health in adults and young adults, pediatric autism, congenital anomalies, and pediatric cancers, including testicular cancer, and explores the possibility of how these associations might be reflected in overall disease trends at the population health level. This book surveys these four areas in detail and applies cutting-edge analytical software and geospatial space–time analytical techniques to these questions. It makes new and novel observations using advanced geostatistical techniques and their formal techniques of causal inference. The impact of the work is greatly amplified by the inclusion of detailed cellular and molecular mechanistic pathways exploring some of the mechanistic bases that are likely to underpin the megatrends observed at the population health level. It also explores the impacts on brain development and the epigenetic footprint, which are likely to have a multigenerational impact. Such findings greatly expand the impact and parameters of the present cannabis debate. With all this information gathered into one book in an easily readable form, Epidemiology of Cannabis is a reference for clinicians, health science and allied health practitioners, public health and basic science researchers as well as drug and health regulators interested in these topics. It is also suitable for inclusion in course work and study preparation courses at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
- Examines adult and pediatric neurotoxicity and genotoxicity from cannabis use, along with health impacts
- Analyzes epigenetics and the observed pattern of teratological, cancerogenic and age-accelerated disease
- Utilizes advanced statistical and geotemporalspatial analysis to investigate cannabis exposure and health
