The prospective associations of 24-hour movement behaviors and domain-specific activities with executive function and academic achievement among school-aged children in Singapore
Background Physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep are collectively referred to as 24-h movement behaviors, which may be linked to cognitive development in children. However, most of the evidence was based on cross-sectional studies and/or solely relied on parent-reported information on children’s behaviors, and it remains uncertain whether all domains/contexts of PA and SB are similarly associated with executive function and a…
Ecological momentary assessment of digital food and beverage marketing exposure and impact in young adults
Unhealthy food marketing is contributing to the obesity epidemic, but real-time insights into the mechanisms of this relationship are under-studied. Digital marketing is growing and following food and beverage (F&B) brands on social media is common, but measurement of exposure and impact of such marketing presents novel challenges. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of collecting data on exposure and impact of digital F&B marketin…
Cardiorespiratory fitness, body mass index, cardiovascular disease, and mortality in young men
Objective: We examined the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), body mass index (BMI), incidence of major acute cardiovascular events (MACE), and all-cause mortality (ACM). Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 212,631 healthy young men aged 16 to 25 years who had undergone medical examination and fitness testing (2.4 km run) from 1995 to 2015. Information on the outcomes of major acute cardiovascular events…
Empowering Patients With Diabetes Using Profiling and Targeted Feedbacks Delivered Through Smartphone App and Wearable (Empower)
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses huge burden and cost on the healthcare system. Mobile health (mHealth) interventions that incorporate wearables may be able to improve diabetes self-management. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to investigate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of personalized educational and behavioral interventions delivered through an EMPOWER mobile application (app) among patients with T2…
Determinants of Hardcore Smoking in a Multi-ETHNIC Study of Cigarette Smokers in Singapore
Smokers who are resistant to quitting are not well studied in Asia, particularly in multi-ethnic populations. We compared the characteristics of hardcore smokers in Singapore, a multi-ethnic Asian population, with other daily smokers, and investigated the role of ethnicity as an effect modifier on identified determinants, including cigarette flavor preferences, using cross-sectional data from Singapore Smokers' Survey (n = 1,501). Multivariable l…
Lifetime Prevalence and Correlates of Schizophrenia and Other Psychotic Disorders in Singapore
Introduction: The current study aimed to establish the lifetime prevalence of schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders, its sociodemographic correlates and association with physical disorders using data from the Singapore Mental Health Study (SMHS 2016). Methods: A two-phase design comprising population-level screening of psychotic symptoms using the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview version 3.0 psychosis s…
Behavioral impact of national health campaigns on healthy lifestyle practices among young adults in Singapore
While this paper affirms that national health campaigns have significant beneficial associations in diet, health screenings and current tobacco use, policymakers should acknowledge that young adults are an age group with different influences that impact their healthy lifestyle habits. Specific interventions that target these subgroups may be required for better health outcomes. Future studies should evaluate other socio-environmental factors that…
Promoting BioPsychoSocial health of older adults using a Community for Successful Ageing program (ComSA) in Singapore
Screen viewing behavior and sleep duration among children aged 2 and below
This study provides evidence for a substantial association between longer SV and shorter sleep duration among very young children. These associations appeared stronger among children aged 6 months and below as compared with those aged 7 to 24 months. Further studies are warranted to confirm our findings
The impact of axial spondyloarthritis on quality of life (QoL)
Determinants of individuals' participation in integrated chronic disease screening in Singapore
BACKGROUND: A large pool of patients with chronic diseases remains undiagnosed globally and in Singapore. We explored factors associated with participation in a health screening exercise, using revealed preference, that is, actual attendance, to understand why people remain undiagnosed with chronic diseases. METHODS: A cross-sectional, community-based sample of Singapore residents was invited to participate in home interviews, and subsequently to…
