Variational Bayesian inference for sparse item response theory models
Item response theory (IRT) model is a widely appreciated statistical method in exploring the relationship between individual latent traits and item responses. In this paper, a sparse IRT model is established to address the sparsity of factor loadings. A global and local shrinkage prior is imposed to penalize the factor loadings: the global parameter controls the amount of shrinkage at the column levels, while the local parameter adjusts the penal…
Internal validation methods to detect patient characteristics associated with differential item functioning in patient-reported outcome measures
Age-Dependent Functional Decline and Recovery Patterns After Dementia Diagnosis in the Oldest-Old
BackgroundDementia prevalence and incidence rise sharply among the oldest-old (≥85 years), yet whether age-at-diagnosis shapes functional trajectories remains unclear. Understanding age-specific patterns is critical for tailoring care strategies.ObjectivesTo determine whether age at dementia diagnosis influences patterns of functional decline and recovery, and to identify the functional domains driving age-specific trajectories.MethodsUsing Manit…
Global, regional, and national burden of hypertension-induced cardiorenal disease, 1990–2021 and projections to 2050
Despite the declining mortality rate of HHD, the increasing incidence of hypertension-induced CKD underscores that hypertension-attributable cardiovascular and kidney diseases remain a globally urgent public health concern
Unleashing potential
In the context of a global crisis, where over 80% of children fail to meet minimum standards of physical activity, children with developmental disabilities may face an even greater health disparity. Despite being disproportionately less physically active than the broader population, those with developmental disabilities are often excluded from mainstream interventions. This study evaluated a novel animal-assisted intervention (AAI) that incorpora…
Safety and immunogenicity of inactivated Covid-19 vaccine in patients with metabolic syndrome
Background and aims The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS), wich mainly including hypertension, hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, remains high, and the safety and antibody response of inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) is still inconsistency, therefore it is necessary to explore the safety and antibody responses of inactivated COVID-19 vaccination in MS patients in clinical practic…
Control charts for chronic disease surveillance
Our study using control charts to compare stability of trends in incidence and prevalence for juvenile diabetes algorithms found no differences for disease incidence. Differences were observed between select algorithms for disease prevalence when using wider control limits
Multimorbidity Patterns in US Adults with Subjective Cognitive Decline and Their Relationship with Functional Difficulties
Individuals in the three multimorbidity groups had elevated risk of SCD-related functional difficulties compared with minimal chronic conditions group. Characteristics of the high-risk groups identified in this study may help in development and implementation of interventions to prevent serious consequences of having multiple chronic conditions
Examining gambling activity subtypes over time in a large sample of young adults
Background: Gambling is common in young adulthood. Most young adults phase out of excessive gambling, but some establish regular habits and develop problems. Research has begun to examine the risk associated with different gambling activity patterns. However, there is a paucity of longitudinal work. Using a prospective design, we identified distinct subgroups of young adults based on patterns of gambling activity involvement and tested the stabil…
Development of an Emergency Department Violence Intervention Program for Youth
This paper highlights the benefit of including community experts at the beginning of and throughout the research process
Quality of Life Trajectories Predict Mortality in Older Men
Men who maintain physical and mental functioning have a lower mortality rate
Evaluation of a Youth-Led Program for Preventing Bullying, Sexual Harassment, and Dating Aggression in Middle Schools
Although youth-led programs (YLP) have been successful in many areas of public health, youth leadership is rarely used in the prevention of peer aggression. A YLP to reduce bullying, sexual harassment, and dating aggression was compared experimentally with the board-mandated usual practice (UP). Four middle schools in an urban Canadian school division were randomly assigned to a YLP or to UP programs led by adults. Knowledge, attitudes, victimiza…
A Population-level Analysis of Birth Weight Indices in Peel Region, Ontario
The Relationship Between Adolescents' Experience of Family Violence and Dating Violence
This study examines whether experiences of familial victimization and aggression are potential risk factors for dating violence in male and female teenage relationships. The authors compare 471 adolescents aged 12 to 19 in the care of a youth protection agency and from a community sample. Results show that adolescents carry negative childhood experiences of family violence into their intimate relationships in different ways, depending on gender a…
Noise-induced Hearing Loss in Construction Workers Being Assessed for Hand-arm Vibration Syndrome
Developmental Trajectories of Bullying and Associated Factors
Trajectories in bullying through adolescence were studied along with individual, family, and peer relationship factors. At the outset, participants’ ages ranged from 10 to 14; 74% identified as European Canadian with the remainder from diverse backgrounds. With 8 waves of data over 7 years, 871 students (466 girls and 405 boys) were studied to reveal 4 trajectories: 9.9% reported consistently high levels of bullying, 13.4% reported early moderate…
A developmental perspective on bullying
In this paper, we examined the forms and relationship contexts of bullying in adolescence. Using cross‐sectional data, we assessed grade and sex differences in self‐reports of bullying and sexually harassing peers, as well as reports of dating aggression from1896 students from early to late adolescence. Reports of bullying others were highest around the school transition, with lowest levels at the end of high school. Boys reported more bullying a…
