Corollary
Corollary is a statement that follows readily from a previous statement. In the field of medicine, corollaries are often used to describe outcomes or consequences that naturally follow from a certain condition or disease.
Definition[edit | edit source]
A corollary is a proposition that follows with little or no proof required from one already proven. It is a statement that is seen as obvious or self-evident, following directly from a theorem. In medicine, a corollary often refers to a situation where a certain outcome is expected due to the presence of a particular disease or condition.
Use in Medicine[edit | edit source]
In the medical field, corollaries are often used to describe the expected outcomes or consequences of certain diseases or conditions. For example, a corollary of diabetes might be that the patient will have an increased risk of heart disease and kidney disease. Similarly, a corollary of obesity might be an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer.
Examples[edit | edit source]
Here are some examples of corollaries in medicine:
- A corollary of smoking is an increased risk of lung cancer and heart disease.
- A corollary of high blood pressure is an increased risk of stroke and heart attack.
- A corollary of sedentary lifestyle is an increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.
