A conceptual framework for measuring AI health equity
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in health systems globally and has the potential to improve efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and decision support. However, its benefits remain unevenly distributed, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Models developed using datasets from specific populations may perform poorly in other settings, reinforcing structural inequities rather than correcting them. O…
Socioeconomic and demographic disparities in the impact of digestive diseases in the middle East and North Africa (Mena) region
Despite a reduction in mortality and DALY rates, the persistently high incidence rates of DD in the MENA region underscores ongoing public health challenges. Socioeconomic factors strongly influence disease burden, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address disparities and improve digestive disease outcomes across the region
Burden of disease scenarios for 204 countries and territories, 2022–2050
BACKGROUND: Future trends in disease burden and drivers of health are of great interest to policy makers and the public at large. This information can be used for policy and long-term health investment, planning, and prioritisation. We have expanded and improved upon previous forecasts produced as part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) and provide a reference forecast (the most likely future), and alternativ…
Temporal trends in lower extremity amputation in Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region
The study reveals variable LEA trends in the MENA region, influenced by conflicts, natural disasters, and chronic diseases. These findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions, improved healthcare access, and robust data collection systems to reduce the burden of LEAs and improve patient outcomes in the MENA region
The burden of Cardiovascular diseases in Jordan
Despite decreasing burden rate of CVDs in Jordan between 1990 and 2019, CVDs remain the leading cause of mortality in Jordan, with an increase in the total number of prevalence and mortality. Overall, this contributes to increased healthcare costs. Further research is required to quantify the burden of CVDs and understand it better. Intervention measures and policies tailored to specific CVDs should be designed to reduce the burden of CVDs in Jor…
The burden of cirrhosis and other chronic liver disease in the middle east and North Africa (Mena) region over three decades
The study highlights evolving trends in cirrhosis and other chronic liver disease within the MENA region, emphasizing the necessity for comprehensive, etiology, and gender-specific interventions. Despite an increasing incidence, the observed improvements in mortality rates and age-standardized disability burden indicate progress in public health efforts to mitigate cirrhosis's impact. These findings point to the complex nature of cirrhosis outcom…
Social media and attitudes towards a Covid-19 vaccination
Staying Physically Active Is Associated with Better Mental Health and Sleep Health Outcomes during the Initial Period of Covid-19 Induced Nation-Wide Lockdown in Jordan
Jordan, a Middle Eastern country, initially responded to an outbreak of COVID-19 cases within its own borders by imposing a 7-week strict lockdown and closure of international and domestic travel. Such measures drastically influenced lifestyle behaviors of the population. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of physical activity, and its association with mental and sleep health outcomes among Jordanians during a period of COVID-19 induc…
Neighborhood social cohesion, religious participation and sexual risk behaviors among cisgender black sexual minority men in the southern United States
High financial hardship and mental health burden among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men
Prior research has documented the ways in which financial hardships negatively impact health, particularly mental health. However, this association between financial hardships and mental health outcomes has rarely been examined in sexual minorities. The purpose of this study was to examine associations between financial hardships and mental health burdens among a sample of gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in Paris, France. …
Association between sexually explicit messages and sleep health among French sexual minority men
It has been demonstrated that sexual minority men (SMM) participate in sexting. While research has shown that engagement in the exchange of sexually explicit media is associated with poor health outcomes, no previous research has investigated its association with sleep health outcomes. This study sought to examine the association between sexually explicit media and sleep health among SMM, a population that suffers from poor sleep health. A popula…
Association of financial hardship with poor sleep health outcomes among men who have sex with men
Previous studies have identified an association between socioeconomic status and sleep health. While some research has studied this association among sexual minority groups, including men who have sex with men (MSM), they exclusively focused on US-based populations. The interplay between the two in shaping sleep health has not been previously examined on populations residing outside the US. This study considers both determinants, by investigating…
Financial Hardship, Condomless Anal Intercourse and HIV Risk Among Men Who Have Sex with Men
