Early risk detection of metabolic syndrome using sex-specific machine learning models in military personnel
Metabolic syndrome is a critical predictor of future cardiometabolic disease and an emerging public health concern, particularly in high-demand populations such as military personnel. This study aimed to develop and evaluate sex-specific machine learning models for the early detection of metabolic syndrome using annual health check data. We analyzed records from 179,620 Taiwanese Air Force personnel between 2014 and 2022, incorporating demographi…

Sex differences in risk factors for metabolic syndrome in middle-aged and senior hospital employees: A population-based cohort study
The longitudinal design of our study improves the understanding of sex differences in MetS risk factors in middle-aged and senior adults. A significantly elevated risk of MetS over the ten-year follow-up period was associated with male sex, shift work, the number of chronic diseases, the number of family history risk factors, and betel nut chewing. Women who chewed betel nuts had an especially increased risk of MetS. Our study indicates that popu…
A Moral Life After a Suicide Death in Taiwan
In this article we present the findings of a qualitative study exploring what suicide survivors in Taiwan experienced after a family member's suicide and how they adjusted to the perceived stigma. Fifteen suicide survivors participated in this study. We found that when a family member's suicide death occurred, survivors first kept a low profile when holding the funeral, and then tried to expel the dead person from their family. They also wished t…
Fań: An Idiom of Distress Among Suicidal Patients in Taiwan
The purpose of this study is to describe fań, a culturally constructed expression of emotional and psychological discomfort, from the perspective of 34 suicidal patients in Taipei, Taiwan. An important finding from this ethnographic study is an idiom of emotional distress, fań, which is not expressed as related to a body part like in most previous research on expressions of psychological symptoms in Chinese cultures. This description will help he…
The Cultural Context of Suicide Stigma in Taiwan
In the ethnographic study on which this article is based, the authors investigate experiences after a suicide attempt from the perspective of patients and their familymembers in Taiwan. Thirty-four patients and 49 family members or colleagues participated in interviews from the point of patients’ hospitalization to their return to the community. The postsuicide stigma suffered by patients and their families was based on such cultural themes as Su…
Being Trapped in a Circle: Life after a Suicide Attempt in Taiwan
The purpose of this hermeneutic phenomenological study was to understand how suicidal patients experienced their lives after attempted suicide. Ten participants were recruited from a medical center in Taiwan and were interviewed over a 5-month period about their experiences and feelings after their suicide attempts. Participants suffered from “being trapped in a circle” through three main avenues: (a) being controlled by others versus striving to…
