Alcohol availability around schools and adolescent consumption
Evidence on the relationship between alcohol environment and adolescents' alcohol consumption remains inconsistent. This cross-sectional study explored the association between alcohol availability around schools and adolescent alcohol consumption in Madrid, a European city with high availability. We quantified alcohol availability as the number of alcohol outlets within 500m street network buffers around 49 schools located in areas with different…
Prepandemic levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins and risk of Sars-CoV-2 infection and Covid-19 in the general population of Barcelona
Background From a public health perspective it is remarkable that there are yet no longitudinal studies in the general population investigating the influence of the basal immune state, measured before the pandemic, on the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19. Objective To investigate the specific and combined effects of personal levels of cytokines and immunoglobulins—measured in individuals’ blood 4 years before the pandemic—on the risk of …
Stability of cytokine and immunoglobulin concentrations in the general population
Background: While there is wide evidence on concentrations of cytokines in patients attending health care facilities, evidence is scant on physiological, basal concentrations of cytokines in the general population and across sociodemographic groups, as well as on their potential stability over time. Furthermore, from a public health perspective it is remarkable that no studies have analyzed intraindividual changes in such concentrations from befo…
Global, regional, and national causes of under-5 mortality in 2000–19
BACKGROUND: Causes of mortality are a crucial input for health systems for identifying appropriate interventions for child survival. We present an updated series of cause-specific mortality for neonates and children younger than 5 years from 2000 to 2019. METHODS: We updated cause-specific mortality estimates for neonates and children aged 1-59 months, stratified by level (low, moderate, or high) of mortality. We made a substantial change in the …
Evaluation of a community-based hypertension improvement program (ComHIP) in Ghana
The high burden of hypertension among the studied population, coupled with high awareness, yet very low level of hypertension treatment and control requires in-depth investigation of the bottlenecks to treatment and control. The low hypertension treatment and control rates despite current and previous general educational programs particularly in the intervention district, may suggest that such programs are not necessarily impactful on the health …
The weight of nations
Increasing population fatness could have the same implications for world food energy demands as an extra half a billion people living on the earth
Effect of changes in moderate or vigorous physical activity on changes in health-related quality of life of elderly British women over seven years
Modelling the association of disability according to the WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with mortality in the British Women's Heart and Health Study
BACKGROUND: The WHO International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is now the dominant model for exploring the social consequences of a health condition. This paper investigates the association of the different ICF disability domains with mortality. METHODS: Data are from the British Women Heart and Health Study, a large (n=4157) prospectively studied cohort of women randomly selected from 23 towns aged 64-83 years in 20…
Using Electronic Health Care Records for Drug Safety Signal Detection
BACKGROUND: Drug safety monitoring relies primarily on spontaneous reporting, but electronic health care record databases offer a possible alternative for the detection of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relative performance of different statistical methods for detecting drug-adverse event associations in electronic health care record data representing potential ADRs. RESEARCH DESIGN: Data from 7 databases across 3 coun…
