Shaping food system governance
Introduction: National nutrition policies play a pivotal role in promoting healthier dietary choices and reducing the consumption of unhealthy foods, thereby contributing to improved public health outcomes. Understanding their scope and implementation is essential for guiding regional health policies and strategies to improve food systems. Methods: We conducted a scoping review to map national-level nutrition policies, legislation, and regulatory…
Feasibility of integrating genetic risk and digital health tools for cardiovascular prevention
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While a substantial proportion of CVD burden is attributable to modifiable risk factors, individual genetic susceptibility also contributes significantly. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) have emerged as promising tools to quantify inherited cardiovascular risk, while digital health technologies, such as wearable health devices (WHDs), provide new…
Digital integration between hospitals and local health authorities for enhanced vaccination coverage among frail patients
Background The 2022–2025 Italian Plan for vaccine prevention (PNPV), recognizes vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) as significant contributors to mortality, morbidity, and healthcare expenditure. The digitalization of the national vaccine registry is underway. Initiatives aimed at enhancing digital integration between hospitals and territories are limited, and there is still a gap in the development of automated systems for identifying patients …
Scanning the horizon of personalized prevention research
Introduction: Non-communicable diseases represent a significant burden on global healthcare, necessitating innovative strategies to enhance prevention and management. Personalized prevention, an emerging approach leveraging omics data to tailor interventions, holds promise for improving risk stratification, early diagnosis, and preventive strategies. To gain insights on the latest funding investments in this field, we mapped European Commission (…
What public health challenges and unmet medical needs would benefit from interdisciplinary collaboration in the EU? A survey and multi-stakeholder debate
In the past decade, significant European calls for research proposals have supported translational collaborative research on non-communicable and infectious diseases within the biomedical life sciences by bringing together interdisciplinary and multinational consortia. This research has advanced our understanding of disease pathophysiology, marking considerable scientific progress. Yet, it is crucial to retrospectively evaluate these efforts’ soc…
Benchmarking the clinical outcomes of Healthentia SaMD in chronic disease management
Efficacy of polygenic risk scores and digital technologies for Innovative personalized cardiovascular disease PREVention in high-risk adults
Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) pose a significant global health challenge, necessitating innovative approaches for primary prevention. Personalized prevention, based on genetic risk scores (PRS) and digital technologies, holds promise in revolutionizing CVD preventive strategies. However, the clinical efficacy of these interventions requires further investigation. This study presents the protocol of the INNOPREV randomized controlled …
Association of national smoke-free policies with per-capita cigarette consumption and acute myocardial infarction mortality in Europe
BACKGROUND: Evidence on the association between smoke-free policies and per-capita cigarette consumption and mortality due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in Europe is limited. Hence, we aimed to assess this association and to evaluate which factors influence it. METHODS: We performed an interrupted time series analysis, including 27 member states of the European Union and the UK, on per-capita cigarette consumption and AMI mortality.A multi…
Inverse correlates of Covid-19 mortality across European countries during the first versus subsequent waves
The objectives of the study were to calculate the standardised mortality rates (SMRs) for COVID-19 in European Union/European Economic Area countries plus the UK and Switzerland and to evaluate the correlation between SMRs and selected indicators in the first versus the subsequent waves until 23 June 2021. We used indirect standardisation (using Italy as the reference) to compute SMRs and considered 16 indicators of health and social well-being, …
Impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on psychological well-being of students in an Italian university
BACKGROUND: Italy was the first European country to implement a national lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Worldwide, this pandemic had a huge impact on the mental health of people in many countries causing similar reaction in terms of emotions and concerns at the population level. Our study investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on psychological well-being in a cohort of Italian university students. METHODS: We conducted a cro…
Covid-19 Seroprevalence among Healthcare Workers of a Large Covid-19 Hospital in Rome Reveals Strengths and Limits of Two Different Serological Tests
Healthcare workers are at the forefront against COVID-19, worldwide. Since Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli (FPG) IRCCS was enlisted as a COVID-19 hospital, the healthcare workers deployed to COVID-19 wards were separated from those with limited/no exposure, whereas the administrative staff were designated to work from home. Between 4 June and 3 July 2020, an investigation was conducted to evaluate the seroprevalence of severe acut…
