Syndemic interactions in northwest Italy: Education, place of birth, and the co-occurrence of type 2 diabetes and depression
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and depression often co-occur, generating substantial health burdens. Social determinants may shape vulnerability to both conditions. Using a syndemic framework, this study examines the clustering of T2DM, depression, education, and place of birth in a large cohort in Piedmont, Italy. METHODS: We analysed 861,300 males and 917,545 females aged 45-75 years from the Piedmont Longitudinal Study. T2DM and depression…
Does lifestyle explain the relationship between socioeconomic position and multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases? A mediation analysis applied to the European Prospective Investigation…
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is socially patterned, with lower socioeconomic position (SEP) linked to higher risk. We examined whether a Healthy Lifestyle Index (HLI) mediates the SEP-multimorbidity association and whether pathways differ by sex. METHODS: We used data from 244 886 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study. HLI was derived from smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass in…
Covid-19 pandemic during the war in Tigray, Northern Ethiopia: A sequential mixed-methods approach
Introduction: The overlapping global crises of war, pandemic, and inflation have hit the poorest countries the hardest. Political and security risks have risen in nearly all nations, with those lacking resources suffering from significant preparedness gaps. Similar to other developing regions, Ethiopia's Tigray has experienced many of these effects. This study analyzes the only available data to assess COVID-19 incidence and mortality trends and …
Impact of head and neck cancer on the income of Italian employees
Employer awareness about survivors' conditions can enhance workplace inclusivity. Furthermore, the implementation of ad-hoc policies may lead to a successful reintegration of H&N cancer survivors into the workforce
Clarifying healthy aging: Building a common language for policy innovation within the Age-It Research Program
The findings highlight substantial conceptual variability in how HA is defined and measured in RCTs. This diversity reflects the multidimensional and context-dependent nature of HA but poses challenges for synthesis and comparison across studies. A shared framework for defining HA in interventional research is needed to support evidence-based aging policies. By mapping the range of operational definitions used in RCTs, this review provides a foun…
Syndemic approach to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and educational level: A longitudinal cohort study in northwest Italy
INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) represent significant public health challenges, linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and influenced by socioeconomic disparities. This longitudinal study investigates the interplay between socioeconomic position (SEP), measured as educational level, CKD/ESRD and CVD using the syndemic framework. METHODS: We used data from the Piedmont Longitudinal …
Examining causal relationships between educational attainment and type 2 diabetes using genetic analysis: Findings from the Epic-InterAct study through Mendelian randomisation
INTRODUCTION: Observational studies have shown that more educated people are at lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, robust study designs are needed to investigate the likelihood that such a relationship is causal. This study used genetic instruments for education to estimate the effect of education on T2D using the Mendelian randomisation (MR) approach. METHODS: Analyses have been conducted in the European Prospective Investi…
Short-term effect of colorectal cancer on income: Analysis of an Italian cohort
INTRODUCTION: The ability to return to work after a cancer diagnosis is a key aspect of cancer survivorship and quality of life. Studies have reported a significant risk of income loss for cancer survivors; however, there is limited evidence of the Italian context. METHODS: The Work Histories Italian Panel (WHIP)-Salute database was used to select a cohort of incident cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) among workers in the private sector, based on …
Health status assessment of a population of asylum seekers in Northern Italy
BACKGROUND: Since 2011 Italy has faced an extraordinary increase in migrants arrivals, mainly from the Mediterranean route, one of the world's most dangerous journeys. The purpose of the present article is to provide a comprehensive picture of the migrants' health status in the "T. Fenoglio" centre, Settimo Torinese (Turin, Italy). METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using data collected from June 2016 to May 2018 on adul…
Air Pollution from Global Health to Individual Risk Factor—Is It Time for Enviropathies in Everyday Clinical Practice
While the link between cardiovascular and respiratory conditions and air pollution is well-known, recent studies provided a growing body of evidence that polluted air, particularly air with high levels of particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 micrometers (PM 2.5), can have a range of negative impacts on health, both in terms of mortality and morbidity. It is time to emphasize the role of environmental factors as contributory factors…
The broad spectrum of Covid-like patients initially negative at RT-PCR testing: A cohort study
In patients admitted to ED with COVID-19 symptoms and negative RT-PCR a comprehensive clinical evaluation integrated with lung ultrasound and computed tomography could help to detect COVID-19 patients with a false negative RT-PCR result
Working Conditions and Health Among Italian Ageing Workers
In many European countries requirements for retirement have been tightened, causing an increase in work participation of older workers, in spite their potentially poorer health may limit their work ability. This study aimed at assessing the diffusion of health problems and exposure to unfavorable working conditions among ageing workers in two Italian surveys, as well as comparing them with those observed in the same surveys conducted before the 2…
Transition to retirement impact on health and lifestyle habits: Analysis from a nationwide Italian cohort
Individual data-linkage of multiple waves of the PLUS can offer great insight to inform healthy ageing policies in Italy and Europe. Transition to retirement has an independent effect on perceived health status, physical activity and selected behavioural risk factors. It should be identified as a target moment for preventive interventions, with particular reference to primary prevention so as to promote health and wellbeing in older ages
Lifetime Duration of Exposure to Biomechanical Factors at Work as a Mediator of the Relationship Between Socioeconomic Position and Walking Speed
The study aimed to assess the proportion mediated by the duration of exposure to ergonomic factors at work on the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and low walking speed. This cross-sectional study was performed on data collected at baseline on 19,704 men and 20,273 women 45-70 years old, currently or previously employed, enrolled in the Constances cohort. SEP was assigned through current or last occupation, categorized in three c…
Special Report: The Biology of Inequalities in Health: The Lifepath Consortium
Funded by the European Commission Horizon2020 programme, the Lifepath research consortium aimed to understand the impacts of socioeconomic inequalities on the biology of healthy ageing. The main research questions included the impact of inequalities on health, the role of behavioural and other risk factors, the underlying biological mechanisms, the efficacy of selected policies, and the general implications of our findings for theories and polici…
Is the association between precarious employment and mental health mediated by economic difficulties in males? Results from two Italian studies
Even with the limitations of a cross-sectional design, this research supports that precarious employment contributes through financial strain to reduce the mental health related quality of life and to increase mental disorders such as symptoms of depression or dysthymia. This suggests that when stability in work cannot be guaranteed, it would be appropriate to intervene on the wages of precarious jobs and to provide social safety nets for ensurin…
