Policies and strategies on active and healthy ageing
Background: Over the past six decades, life expectancy has significantly increased, with a concurrent decline in fertility rates, leading to unprecedented demographic shifts. These changes have deeply changed population structures and presented challenges for welfare systems, particularly regarding sustainability and intergenerational equity. Aim: This study aimed to review recommendations from major international organizations [e.g., the World H…
The effects of cultural engagement on health and well-being
Dedalo Vola project
Several studies have been conducted that show the crucial role of active participation in music in health promotion (e.g. Dingle et al., 2021; Sheppard & Broughton, 2020); however, little research has focused on the biopsychosocial effects of choral singing. The present study aims to evaluate the effectiveness, in terms of improving physiological and psychosocial factors, of a choral program for middle-aged and older individuals. We integrated ou…
Public Attitude towards Biobanking
Biobanks have established a critical role in biomedical research by collecting, preserving, organizing, and disseminating biospecimens and related health data, contributing to precision medicine development. Participation in biobanks is influenced by several factors, such as trust in institutions and scientists, knowledge about biobanking, and the consideration of benefit sharing. Understanding public attitudes, fears, and concerns toward biobank…
Opioid overdose risk during and after drug treatment for heroin dependence
High Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 among Healthcare Workers in a North Italy Hospital
The high seroprevalence observed can be partially explained by the timing and the population seroprevalence; the study was conducted in an area with huge spread of the infection
Vatican beats Italy 1–0 in the tobacco endgame
The Holy See cannot be cooperating with a practice that is clearly harming the health of people'. This is the reason behind Pope Francis banning the sale of tobacco products inside the Vatican in January 2018. Just outside the Holy See, in Italy, cigarette sales produce around €13 billion of fiscal revenues every year. In Italy, proposals to increase tobacco taxation are systematically rejected and new tobacco company plants have been officially …
A School-Based Program to Promote Well-Being in Preadolescents
Diario della Salute [My Health Diary] is a school-based program designed to enhance the subjective well-being and health of 12- to 13-year-old students. We hypothesized that providing students with the social and emotional skills to fulfill their potential and deal with common developmental tasks of adolescence (e.g., onset of puberty, identity development, increased responsibilities and academic demands) would result in improved well-being and h…
Factors Predicting Patient’s Allocation to Short- and Long-Term Therapeutic Community Treatments in the Italian Voect Cohort Study
Efficacy evaluation of the school program Unplugged for drug use prevention among Brazilian adolescents
This study adds to the evidence of program efficacy among Brazilian middle school students by presenting marginal effects on binge drinking and marijuana use. An 18-month randomized controlled trial is recommended for a future study
The influence of socioeconomic environment on the effectiveness of alcohol prevention among European students
ISRCTN: ISRCTN18092805
High youth access to movies that contain smoking in Europe compared with the USA
Tobacco imagery is still common in popular films shown in European countries and the USA. None of the seven countries examined followed the WHO recommendations on restricting youth access to movies that portray smoking. Compared to the USA, European youths have access to substantially more movies in general, and this gives them access to more movies that portray smoking in particular
Is universal prevention against youths’ substance misuse really universal? Gender-specific effects in the EU-Dap school-based prevention trial
BACKGROUND: Studies of effectiveness of school-based prevention of substance misuse have generally overlooked gender differences. The purpose of this work was to analyse gender differences in the effectiveness of a new European school-based curriculum for prevention of substance misuse among adolescents. METHODS: The European Drug Abuse Prevention (EU-Dap) trial took place in seven European countries during the school year 2004-05. Schools were r…
An overview of systematic reviews of the effectiveness of opiate maintenance therapies
Occupational class and ischemic heart disease mortality in the United States and 11 European countries
OBJECTIVES: Twelve countries were compared with respect to occupational class differences in ischemic heart disease mortality in order to identify factors that are associated with smaller or larger mortality differences. METHODS: Data on mortality by occupational class among men aged 30 to 64 years were obtained from national longitudinal or cross-sectional studies for the 1980s. A common occupational class scheme was applied to most countries. P…
Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among women and among men
OBJECTIVES: This study compared differences in total and cause-specific mortality by educational level among women with those among men in 7 countries: the United States, Finland, Norway, Italy, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Estonia. METHODS: National data were obtained for the period ca. 1980 to ca. 1990. Age-adjusted rate ratios comparing a broad lower-educational group with a broad upper-educational group were calculated with Poisson regres…
Social class and cancer survival in Turin, Italy
STUDY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate social differences in cancer survival in residents of Turin, Italy. DESIGN: Incident cases from the Piedmont cancer registry were linked to municipality files and 1981 census data, and followed up from 1985-92. The census provided data on education and housing tenure, which were used as indicators of social class. The case fatality ratio (CFR) was estimated through a proportional hazard model, with…
Cancer risk and social inequalities in Italy
STUDY OBJECTIVE--To investigate social differences in cancer incidence in Turin, Italy in 1985-87. DESIGN--A cancer incidence follow up study of the turin population in relation to socioeconomic characteristics was performed through record linkage between the 1981 census and the cancer registry. A case-control study nested in the cohort was analysed, where cases were subjects with a new diagnosis of cancer in 1985-87 and controls were a sample of…
