The neuropsychiatric toll of rising temperatures on women’s health in low-income and middle-income countries: A scoping review
BACKGROUND: Global warming poses a significant threat to human mental health, with disproportionate effects on vulnerable and highly exposed populations, such as women from low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). This scoping review mapped available evidence on associations between high ambient temperature and psychiatric, neurologic and neurocognitive outcomes in women from LMICs. METHODS: A systematic literature search was conducted in …
Determining health protection research priorities for Ireland
The study was conducted using a three-round modified e-Delphi approach. An expert panel of 20 members was recruited through the HSE Public Health: National Health Protection Office using purposive sampling. Members of this panel included individuals with the requisite experience and knowledge of health protection research policy and practice who can elucidate research agenda needs and guide practice decisions. This study was designed to identify …
Regulations and Funding to Create Enterprise Architecture for a Nationwide Health Data Ecosystem
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the United States’ lack of a nationwide infrastructure for collecting, sharing, and using health data, especially for secondary uses (e.g., population health management and public health). The federal government is taking several important steps to upgrade the nation’s health data ecosystem—notably, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Data Modernization Initiative and the Office of the National Coord…
A Cross-Sectional Investigation of Preadolescent Cardiometabolic Health: Associations with Fitness, Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, Nutrition, and Sleep
The findings indicate that increasing CRF and decreasing sedentary behavior may be important public health targets in preadolescent children
Poor sleep Quality and Obstructive Sleep Apnea are Associated with Maternal Mood, and Anxiety Disorders in Pregnancy
Mental Health in Early Childhood and Changes in Cardiometabolic Dysregulation by Preadolescence
OBJECTIVE: Poor mental health in childhood is associated with a greater risk of cardiometabolic disease in adulthood, but less is known about when these associations begin to emerge. This study tests whether poor mental health (indexed by emotional and behavioral problems) in early childhood predicts increases in cardiometabolic dysregulation over 4 years of follow-up. METHODS: Data are from 4327 participants in the Generation R Study. Problem be…

Risk of gestational diabetes mellitus in relation to maternal dietary calcium intake
Objective The present study sought to examine the association between dietary Ca intake and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Design We assessed periconceptional (i.e. before conception and early pregnancy) Ca intake and consumption of foods rich in Ca using an FFQ among 3414 participants in a prospective cohort study. Diagnoses of GDM were abstracted from medical records. We used multivariable generalized linear regression models to d…
Associations of socioeconomic position in childhood and young adulthood with cardiometabolic risk factors: The Jerusalem Perinatal Family Follow-Up Study
BACKGROUND: Several stages in the life course have been identified as important to the development of cardiovascular disease. This study aimed to assess the associations of childhood and adulthood socioeconomic position (SEP) and social mobility with cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRs) later in life. METHODS: We conducted follow-up examinations of 1132 offspring, aged 32, within a population-based cohort of all births in Jerusalem from 1974 to 19…

When Mr. Right Becomes Mr. Wrong: Women’s Postdivorce Name Choice
Divorced women (N = 185) who had changed to their husband’s name responded to a survey about their postdivorce name choice, which included demographic questions, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction in General Scale. Resumers were younger and had more education than women maintainers. Resumers were married for fewer years and had fewer children at the time of divorce. Gender attitude…
Periconceptional seafood intake and pregnancy complications
Objective To investigate associations of maternal periconceptional shellfish, lean fish and fatty fish intake with risk of pregnancy complications. Design In this prospective cohort study, we collected information on intake of seafood subtypes using FFQ. We categorized seafood intake into frequencies of 1 servings/week. We ascertained gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and preterm birth diagnoses from medical records. U…
Associations of Early and Late Gestational Weight Gain with Infant Birth Size
Plasma vitamin D is associated with fasting insulin and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance in young adult males, but not females, of the Jerusalem Perinatal Study
Objective To examine cross-sectional relationships between plasma vitamin D and cardiometabolic risk factors in young adults. Design Data were collected from interviews, physical examinations and biomarker measurements. Total plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) was measured using LC–tandem MS. Associations between 25(OH)D and cardiometabolic risk factors were modelled using weighted linear regression with robust estimates of standard errors. Set…

Prevalence, Types, and Pattern of Intimate Partner Violence Among Pregnant Women in Lima, Peru
This study assesses the prevalence, types, and pattern of intimate partner violence (IPV) during lifetime and current pregnancy for 2,392 women in Lima, Peru. The reported lifetime prevalence of any IPV (physical, sexual, or emotional) is 45.1%. For women who experienced abuse, the prevalence of lifetime physical, emotional, and sexual IPV is 34.2%, 28.4%, and 8.7%, respectively. Older (>/= 30 years), unmarried, employed, and economically disadva…
