Amorcer un traitement antipsychotique en schizophrénie
Contexte Cet article vise à décrire les facteurs associés à la prescription d’antipsychotiques par un psychiatre plutôt qu’un omnipraticien, la prescription d’un antipsychotique de seconde plutôt que de première génération, la prescription d’une multithérapie d’antipsychotiques et le non-renouvellement de la prescription initiale. Méthodologie Il s’agit d’une étude pharmacoépidémiologique observationnelle avec analyses secondaires d’une banque de…
Association between Floods and Acute Cardiovascular Diseases
Despite interesting results, the association was not statistically significant. A possible explanation to this result can be that the population affected by the flood was probably too small to provide the statistical power to answer the question, and leaves open a substantial possibility for a real and large effect
Environmental Factors Associated With Social Participation of Older Adults Living in Metropolitan, Urban, and Rural Areas
Objectives. We compared the social participation of older adults living in metropolitan, urban, and rural areas, and identified associated environmental factors. Methods. From 2004 to 2006, we conducted a cross-sectional study using an age-, gender-, and area-stratified random sample of 1198 adults (aged 67–82 years). We collected data via interviewer-administered questionnaires and derived from Canadian censuses. Results. Social participation di…
Stress Responsive Biochemical Anabolic/Catabolic Ratio and Telomere Length in Older Adults
It has been hypothesized that chronic psychological stress is associated with shorter telomere length; however, the mechanisms that link stress and telomere length are not well understood. To examine the interplay between biochemical factors related to stress arousal and cellular aging, we investigate the association between anabolic/catabolic (A/C) imbalance and leukocyte telomere length (LTL) in the Social Environment and Biomarkers of Aging St…
Does elapsed time between first diagnosis of schizophrenia and migration between health territories vary by place of residence? A survival analysis approach
No consistent effects of prenatal or neonatal exposure to Spanish flu on late-life mortality in 24 developed countries
We test the effects of early life exposure to disease on later health by looking for differences in late-life mortality in cohorts born around the 1918-1919 flu pandemic using data from the Human Mortality Database for 24 countries. After controlling for age, period, and sex effects, residual mortality rates did not differ systematically for flu cohorts relative to surrounding cohorts. We calculate at most a 20-day reduction in life expectancy fo…
