Gender differences in the relationship between alcohol use patterns and health-related quality of life in a population experiencing a recent surge in harmful alcohol use among females
Trends in the use and nonmedical use of sedatives-hypnotics in the population aged 12 to 64 years in Taiwan
Background Many countries, including Taiwan, have tightened regulations on prescribing sedatives-hypnotics over the concern of their associated adverse health effects. However, it remains seldom investigated whether different age-sex strata have differential trends in national surveys over time for either the use or nonmedical use (NMU) of sedatives-hypnotics. Comparing Taiwan’s two national surveys in 2014 and 2018, we aimed to examine (1) the p…
Men’s decrease and women’s increase in harmful alcohol use from the 2014 to 2018 national surveys in Taiwan
Impaired growth in rural Gambian infants exposed to aflatoxin
This study found a small but significant effect of aflatoxin exposure on the growth of Gambian infants. This relationship is not apparently explained by aflatoxin induced changes in the IGF-axis
Differences in prevalence, socio-behavioral correlates, and psychosocial distress between club drug and hard drug use in Taiwan
Statistical Thinking in Epidemiology
While biomedical researchers may be able to follow instructions in the manuals accompanying the statistical software packages, they do not always have sufficient knowledge to choose the appropriate statistical methods and correctly interpret their results. Statistical Thinking in Epidemiology examines common methodological and statistical problems
The Relationships Among Physician and Hospital Volume, Processes, and Outcomes of Care for Acute Myocardial Infarction
BACKGROUND: A volume-outcome relationship has been found for acute myocardial infarction (AMI); however, the mechanisms underlying the relationship remain unclear. In particular, it is not known whether processes of care are mediators of the volume-outcome relationship, that is, whether the mechanisms underlying the relationship are through processes of care. OBJECTIVE: We used nationwide population-based data to examine the mediating effects of …
Age-period-cohort analysis for trends in body mass index in Ireland
We notice a generally positive age and period effect but a slightly negative cohort effect. Knowing this, we have a better understanding of the different risk groups which allows for effective public intervention measures to be designed and targeted for these specific population subgroups
What evidence is there that adjustment for adult height influences the relationship between birth weight and blood pressure
BACKGROUND: The inverse association between birth weight and blood pressure may partly be the result of inappropriate adjustment for adult body size, but it remains unclear whether adjustment for adult height elicits this effect. AIM: The study investigated the impact of adjustment for adult height on the relationship between birth weight and blood pressure. METHODS: A systematic search of Medline from 1996 to 2006 was conducted using the terms '…
