Clustering of excess health concerns for electromagnetic fields among health personnel
Clustering patterns, among health-care personnel, of excessive concerns pertaining to perceived electromagnetic field-related health impacts, as contrasted to those from other environmental factors, were explored. Knowledge/excessive concerns of 722 health-care personnel were assessed using a 22-item structured questionnaire along with a double-phase qualitative study comprising semistructured interviews and focus groups. Over 75 percent of the p…
Serum Folate and B12 Levels in Association With Cognitive Impairment Among Seniors
Objective: To summarize existing evidence on the effect of serum folate and vitamin B12 levels on cognitive impairment among elders via a meta-analysis, also including unpublished data from a cross-sectional study of seniors ( > 65 years) residing in Velestino, Greece. Method: Serum measurements and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) assessments were available for 593 Velestinians. In addition, 12 studies availing data on folate blood levels ( …
What Works Better for Community-Dwelling Older People at Risk to Fall
Objective: To compare and quantify the effectiveness of multifactorial versus exercise-alone interventions in reducing recurrent falls among community-dwelling older people. Method : A meta-analysis of recently published studies on fall prevention interventions was conducted. Measure of the overall effectiveness was the combined risk ratio for recurrent falls, whereas heterogeneity was explored via metaregression analyses. Results: Ten of the 52 …
Key elements in childhood injury prevention
In an interesting original paper in this issue of the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health , the question is asked: how radical extinction of poverty would be expected to affect injury incidence and distribution per type and age ( see page 899 ).1 In the authors’ retrospective cohort, there is a statistically significant association between lower mean household income and increased risk of injury in children’s history (especially a clear …
The Evolution of Unintentional Injury Mortality Among Elderly in Europe
A large proportion of EU countries enjoys steady declining trends by major unintentional injury mortality category. Success factors and barriers underlying these benchmarking patterns should be further explored to accelerate the process of injury reduction
