Determinants and sequelae of smoking: Prevalence, incidence, and cessation among male adults in Abu dhabi, United Arab Emirates - a retrospective cohort study
The study confirms smoking's health burden in Abu Dhabi and its association with various health risks
High Sars-CoV-2 seroincidence but low excess Covid mortality in Sierra Leone in 2020–2022
While SARS-CoV-2 infection appears to have spread widely throughout Africa, documentation of associated mortality is limited. We implemented a representative serosurvey in one city of Sierra Leone in Western Africa, paired with nationally representative mortality and selected death registration data. Cumulative seroincidence using high quality SARS-CoV-2 serological assays was 69% by July 2021, rising to 84% by April 2022, mostly preceding SARS-C…
Measuring sexual behaviour in Malawi: A triangulation of three data collection instruments
Diaries may therefore have higher validity for sensitive behaviour reporting and thus be the preferred method in similar African contexts in measuring sexual behaviours
Repeat Use of Post-exposure Prophylaxis for HIV Among Nairobi-Based Female Sex Workers Following Sexual Exposure
Risk Factors for HIV Acquisition in a Prospective Nairobi-Based Female Sex Worker Cohort
Vitamin D deficiency among healthy adolescents in Al Ain, United Arab Emirates
Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were highly prevalent in adolescents, and more common in girls
Prevalence of Depression and Suicidal Behaviors Among Male Migrant Workers in United Arab Emirates
O6-4.2 HIV mortality and infection in India: Estimates from nationally representative mortality survey of 1.1 million homes
Introduction To determine the rates of death and infection from HIV in India in a nationally-representative survey of deaths among 1.1 million homes. Methods Survey of 123 000 deaths at all ages from 2001 to 2003. Main outcome measures HIV mortality and infection. Results HIV accounted for 8.1% (99% CI 5.0% to 11.2%) of all deaths among adults aged 25–34 years. In this age group, about 40% of deaths from HIV were due to AIDS and 26% were due to t…
P1-81 HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis among married couples in India: Patterns of discordance and concordance
Introduction Differences in sexual networks likely explain the disparity in the scale of HIV epidemics in sub-Saharan Africa and India. HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) discordant couple studies provide insights into important aspects of these sexual networks. We wished to quantify the role of male sexual behaviour in HIV transmission in married couples. Methods We analysed patterns of HIV, HSV-2 and syphilis sero-concordance and disc…
SP3-64 Association between history of tuberculosis and vegetarianism from a nationally representative survey in India
Introduction Infection with M tuberculosis is a necessary but not sufficient condition for development of clinical Tuberculosis (TB). The reasons why some tuberculosis infections progress to clinical TB while most remain latent is not clear. A vegetarian diet has been implicated as a risk factor for tuberculosis among South-Asians in the UK. Methods To explore whether this is the case in India we analysed data from the nationally representative N…
Detection of Excess Influenza Severity: Associating Respiratory Hospitalization and Mortality Data With Reports of Influenza-Like Illness by Primary Care Physicians
Objectives. We explored whether excesses in influenza severity can be detected by combining respiratory syndromic hospital and mortality data with data on influenza-like illness (ILI) cases obtained from general practitioners. Methods. To identify excesses in the severity of influenza infections in the population of the Netherlands between 1999 and 2005, we looked for increases in influenza-associated hospitalizations and mortality that were disp…

Body mass index, sexual behaviour, and sexually transmitted infections: An analysis using the NHANES 1999–2000 data
Obese and overweight individuals, especially men, self report fewer sex partners than individuals of normal weight, but surprisingly this is not reflected in their risk of HSV-2 infection. HSV-2 antibodies provide information not contained in self-reported number of partners and may better estimate sexual risk than self-reported behaviour
Monitoring cause-specific adult mortality in developing countries: A comparison of data sources for Addis Ababa and its implications for policy and research
The TB and HIV/Aids Epidemics in the Russian Federation
The Russian Federation has been \n confronting a major epidemiological crisis, which will have \n considerable human and economic costs if it is not swiftly \n addressed. Between 1999 and 2000, the country experienced \n the world's biggest increase in new cases of HIV/AIDS \n infection. The TB epidemic is at risk of becoming \n uncontrollable if the country experiences a moderate \n epidemic of HIV/AIDS. This report represents the analysis \n an…
Macrofilaricides and onchocerciasis control, mathematical modelling of the prospects for elimination
Macrofilaricides have a substantially higher potential for achieving onchocerciasis elimination than ivermectin, but high coverage levels are still key. When these drugs become available, onchocerciasis elimination strategies should be reconsidered. In view of the impact of control efforts preceding the introduction of macrofilaricides on the success of elimination, it is important to sustain current control efforts
Estimating sexual behavior parameters from routine sexual behavior data
In mathematical models for predicting the spread of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), the rate of acquisition of new sex partners and concurrency, the number of simultaneous sexual partnerships, are important parameters. Yet, information on these parameters is rarely obtained in routine sexual behavior surveys; instead, questions about the total number of sex partners during specific periods are often asked. We present two methods that estima…
