Participation behaviour of different migrant groups in breast cancer screening – palpation of the breast and mammography. Results from the German national cohort (Nako)
In contrast to earlier studies, our findings suggest that MSP participation and motivation does not significantly differ by migration status or language skills. This may indicate that information on MSP is broadly accessible through established invitation procedures in Germany. However, lower uptake of breast palpation by a physician in some migrant populations highlights potential gaps in broader preventive care engagement
Frailty among older adults in Germany
BACKGROUND: Frailty is a geriatric syndrome associated with increased morbidity, disability, and mortality. While its prevalence has been studied extensively in individual cohorts and patient populations, national prevalence data are scarce and regional variations within Germany remain largely unexplored. This study examined the frequency of frailty and its regional variation across the 18 NAKO (German National Cohort) study centers using a unifo…
From cigarettes to symptoms
Our findings support an association between smoking and depression. Robust dose-response relationships were found, with higher cigarette consumption associated with more severe depressive symptoms, and longer time since cessation linked to lower depression levels. These results highlight smoking as a meaningful and modifiable contributor to current and lifetime depression, suggesting that quitting smoking or reducing cigarette consumption may ben…
Factors associated with device-based measured physical activity and sedentary behavior in a cross-sectional citizen science study of adolescents during the Covid-19 pandemic
Although our findings warrant confirmation in larger samples, this Citizen Science study points to potential action points that may be targeted in public health interventions aimed at increasing PA to improve health in adolescents
Changes in physical activity and sedentary behavior during the first Covid-19 pandemic- restrictions in Germany
Mobility patterns shifted towards inactivity or low-intensity activities during the nationwide restrictions in the spring of 2020, potentially leading to considerable and lasting health risks
School- and Leisure Time Factors Are Associated With Sitting Time of German and Irish Children and Adolescents During School
Objective: The study aims to investigate to what extent school- and leisure time-related factors are associated with sedentary behavior during school in German and Irish children and adolescents. Methods: The study based on a sample of 198 children and adolescents surveyed in 2015. Sedentary and activity behavior were measured using the activPAL physical activity monitor. Information on socio-economic status, school- and leisure-time related fact…
Effect of dietary fatty acid intake on prospective weight change in the Heidelberg cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
Objective To evaluate the association between fatty acid (α-linolenic acid (ALA), EPA, DHA, palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and arachidonic acids) intake and prospective weight change in the Heidelberg cohort of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition. Design Prospective cohort study with mean follow-up time of 6·5 years. In a total of 9182 men and 10867 women aged 35 to 64 years, from body weight measurement at recrui…
