Individual voices, collective health
Although existing research identifies different profiles of vaccine-hesitant individuals, most studies focus on isolated psychological constructs, neglecting their interplay in shaping vaccination attitudes. Using data from an online survey of a representative sample of Italian adults, we examined vaccination attitudes through a person-centered methodology. We selected personal values, attitudes, and beliefs for their potential relevance to vacci…

When Do the Stakes Get Higher? Examining Factors Associated with At-Risk or Problem Gambling in a Large Sample of Italian Adult Recent Gamblers
Most gambling research focuses on problem gambling, often neglecting milder but more prevalent harmful patterns, whose prevention could prove highly cost-effective. This study analyzed factors associated with at-risk or problem gambling (Problem Gambling Severity Index ≥ 1) among 1060 recent gamblers in Italy (2022–2023). At-risk or problem gambling was reported by 17% of participants and decreased with age and education. It was more frequent amo…
Impact of retirement transition on health, well-being and health behaviours
Transition to Retirement Impact on Caregiving, Grandparenting, and Volunteering
BackgroundRetirement often increases time availability, promoting unpaid activities. Reforms delaying retirement may unintentionally reduce such contributions, with social and public health implications. This study examines how the retirement transition affects unpaid caregiving, grandparenting, and volunteering, with attention to sex differences.MethodsWe used 5-year panel data from the Italian Survey on Participation, Employment and Unemploymen…
Pneumococcal vaccine uptake among high-risk adults and children in Italy
Pneumococcal vaccination uptake within prioritized groups and children in Italy remains inadequate. Scarce awareness of vaccine availability and obstacles in accessing vaccinations emerge as principal barriers influencing this scenario
The Effect of Covid-19 Pandemic on Overall and Cause-Specific Mortality in Pavia, Northern Italy
Excess mortality estimates are considered relevant indicators of direct and indirect pandemic effects on the population. Scant data have been published on cause-specific excess mortality. Using individual-level administrative data covering the Pavia province of Italian northern Lombardy region, we provided all-cause and cause-specific raw (RMR) and age-standardized (ASMR) mortality rates in 2021 and 2015-2019, the rate ratio, and 95% confidence i…
Exploring Patterns of Alcohol Consumption in Adolescence
Adolescents are particularly prone to engage in health-risk behaviors such as alcohol and substance use, which can significantly impact their present and future lives. Our study explores the factors contributing to (1) regular alcohol use (i.e., at least 3 to 5 times in the last 30 days) and (2) binge drinking (i.e., drinking at least five glasses of alcohol in a single sitting in the last 12 months) in adolescents, in the 2014 and 2018 waves of …
Gender Differences in Covid-19 Lockdown Impact on Mental Health of Undergraduate Students
Background: Prolonged university closures and social distancing-imposed measures due to the COVID-19 pandemic obliged students to at-home learning with online lectures and educational programs promoting potential social isolation, loneliness, hopelessness, and episodes of clinical decompensation. Methods: A web-based cross-sectional survey was carried out in a university institute in Milan, Northern Italy, to assess the COVID-19 lockdown impact o…
Older Adults’ Access to Care during the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally affected older people in terms of clinical outcomes and care provision. We aimed to investigate older adults' changes in access to care during the pandemic and their determinants. We used data from a cross-sectional study (LOST in Lombardia) conducted in autumn 2020 on a representative sample of 4400 older adults from the most populated region in Italy. Lifestyles, mental health, and access to healthcare se…
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on Total and Cause-Specific Mortality in Pavia, Northern Italy
The COVID-19 pandemic had an unfavorable impact on overall mortality in Italy, with the strongest consequences in northern Italy. Scant data are available on cause-specific mortality. This study aims at investigating the impact of the pandemic on the overall and cause-specific mortality in one province in northern Italy, Pavia. We linked individual-level administrative data (i.e., death certification and population data) from the Health Protectio…
Clinical Characteristics and Potential Risk Factors Associated with the Sars-CoV-2 Infection
During the two years of the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 400 million cases all over the world have been identified. Health care workers were among the first to deal with this virus and consequently a high incidence of infection was reported in this population. The aim of the survey was to investigate health care workers' (HCWs) clinical characteristics and potential risk factors associated with the SARS-CoV-2 infection in a referral hospital in N…
Effect of Housing Quality on the Mental Health of University Students during the Covid-19 Lockdown
COVID-19 outbreak imposed rapid and severe public policies that consistently impacted the lifestyle habits and mental health of the general population. Despite vaccination, lockdown restrictions are still considered as potential measures to contrast COVID-19 variants spread in several countries. Recent studies have highlighted the impacts of lockdowns on the population's mental health; however, the role of the indoor housing environment where peo…
Long-Term Survival among Patients Hospitalized for Covid-19 during the First Three Epidemic Waves
The mortality rate of hospitalized COVID-19 patients differed strongly between the first three pandemic waves. Nevertheless, their long-term survival has been poorly assessed. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical characteristics and mortality rates of 825 patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection who were hospitalized at the Alessandria hub hospital, in Northern Italy, during the first fifty days of the first three …
Impact of electronic cigarette and heated tobacco product on conventional smoking
Both e-cigarette and HTP use predict starting smoking and relapse, and appear to reduce smoking cessation. Due to the limited sample size within specific strata, the association with quitting smoking should be confirmed by larger prospective studies. These findings do not support the use of e-cigarettes and HTPs in tobacco control as a consumer product, at least in Italy
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…

The impact of Covid-19 lockdown on gambling habit
The Role of Novel (Tobacco) Products on Tobacco Control in Italy
In Italy, electronic cigarettes have spread since 2010 and heated tobacco products (HTP) since 2016. We investigated their public health consequences on conventional cigarette smoking, taking advantage of a series of cross-sectional studies annually conducted between 2001 and 2019 in Italy. Every year, the sample, including around 3000 individuals, was representative of the general Italian population aged ≥15 years. In Italy, smoking prevalence s…
Transition to retirement impact on health and lifestyle habits
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
Impact of Covid-19 lockdown on smoking consumption in a large representative sample of Italian adults
COVID-19 lockdown had a huge impact on smoking consumption of the Italian general population. The main concern is for smokers who increase their cigarette consumption due to an increased mental distress. Providing greater resources for cessation services capable of reducing mental health symptoms in smokers is urgently needed

The response strategy included early diagnosis, patient isolation, symptomatic monitoring of contacts as well as suspected and confirmed cases, and public health quarantine. In this context, telemedicine, particularly video consultations, has been prom…
Universal Health Coverage in Italy
Covid-19 Lockdown
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic on 11 March, severe lockdown measures have been adopted by the Italian Government. For over two months of stay-at-home orders, houses became the only place where people slept, ate, worked, practiced sports, and socialized. As consolidated evidence exists on housing as a determinant of health, it is of great interest to explore…

Epidemiology of tuberculosis in a low-incidence Italian region with high immigration rates
In low-incidence regions, prevention and control of TB among sub-groups at risk such as the foreign-born population is a matter of public health concern. In addition, increasing immigration rates may affect TB epidemiology. TB among immigrants is characterized by particular clinical features and risk factors, which should be analyzed in order to plan effective action
