The association between Post-Covid syndrome and self-stigma among the adult Israeli population during the Covid-19 pandemic
In the wake of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a novel condition, termed Post-COVID Syndrome (PCS) has emerged, impacting a significant portion of the global population. Concurrently, the global impact of the virus has extended beyond physical health, leading to the emergence of COVID-19 related stigma. This study investigates the link between PCS and self-stigma, shedding light on this underexplored phenomenon. To examine whether exposure to PCS is ass…
Travel Distance to Dialysis and Mortality Among Hemodialysis Patients in a Geographically Small Country
Evidence on the association between dialysis facility accessibility and mortality in small countries is limited. This study evaluated the association between travel distance and one- and two-year mortality among Israeli end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Data were obtained from the National Renal Replacement Therapy Registry, encompassing all Israeli ESRD patients aged ≥ 45 years who initiated hemodialysis in 2010–2021. Sociodemographic (ag…
Menopausal symptoms and attitudes toward hormone replacement therapy among Israeli women
Menopause occurs around midlife and is an inevitable component of women's aging. The study aimed to investigate the associations between the lifetime prevalence of menopausal symptoms and health-related characteristics among Israeli postmenopausal women aged 55-75 years. Additionally, this study aimed to estimate the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and women's attitudes toward this treatment. Data for this study were extracted from a cro…
Trends in the Epidemiology of Non-Typhoidal Salmonellosis in Israel between 2010 and 2021
Non-typhoidal salmonellosis (NTS) is one of the most common foodborne diseases worldwide. In this study, we aimed to analyze trends in the epidemiology of NTS in the last decade in Israel. Laboratory-confirmed cases of NTS at eight sentinel laboratories were reported to the Israel Sentinel Laboratory-Based Surveillance Network, integrated with the serotype identification performed at the Salmonella National Reference Laboratory of the Ministry of…
Cigarette Prices and Smoking Behavior in Israel
Tobacco taxation and price policies are considered the most effective for lowering demand for tobacco products. While this statement is based on research from numerous countries, scant evidence exists on this topic for Israel. Accordingly, we assessed the association between cigarette prices and smoking prevalence and intensity from a national sample of adults in Israel (2002-2017). Data on smoking behavior were derived from the Israeli Knowledge…
A Significant Decrease in the Incidence of Shigellosis in Israel during Covid-19 Pandemic
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes COVID-19 and is mostly person-to-person transmitted through respiratory droplets. The implications of the strategies implemented to prevent COVID-19 transmission on other infectious diseases are unclear. We aimed to appraise trends in the incidence of salmonellosis, shigellosis and campylobacteriosis in Israel during COVID-19 pandemic. Positive stool samples for Salmonella , Shig…
Rising rural body-mass index is the main driver of the global obesity epidemic in adults
Body-mass index (BMI) has increased steadily in most countries in parallel with a rise in the proportion of the population who live in cities 1,2 . This has led to a widely reported view that urbanization is one of the most important drivers of the global rise in obesity 3–6 . Here we use 2,009 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight in more than 112 million adults, to report national, regional and global trends in mean B…
Lower Cancer Rates Among Druze Compared to Arab and Jewish Populations in Israel, 1999–2009
A matched case-control study comparing the health status of youth village alumni in Israel to the general population
Recent studies have noted that disproportionately adults with histories of childhood out-of-home placements, compared to adults without, suffer adulthood psychological and physical problems; however, these findings were based mostly on research investigating adults who were in the US foster care system. Building on this foundation, this study examined adults with histories of living in another type of childhood out-of-home placement, called youth…
