Syndemic interactions in northwest Italy
BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and depression often co-occur, generating substantial health burdens. Social determinants may shape vulnerability to both conditions. Using a syndemic framework, this study examines the clustering of T2DM, depression, education, and place of birth in a large cohort in Piedmont, Italy. METHODS: We analysed 861,300 males and 917,545 females aged 45-75 years from the Piedmont Longitudinal Study. T2DM and depression…
Does lifestyle explain the relationship between socioeconomic position and multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases? A mediation analysis applied to the European Prospective Investigation…
BACKGROUND: Multimorbidity is socially patterned, with lower socioeconomic position (SEP) linked to higher risk. We examined whether a Healthy Lifestyle Index (HLI) mediates the SEP-multimorbidity association and whether pathways differ by sex. METHODS: We used data from 244 886 participants in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study. HLI was derived from smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity, body mass in…

This longitudinal study investigates the interplay between socioeconomic position (SEP), measured as educational level, CKD/ESRD and CVD using the syndemic framework. METHODS: We used data from the Piedmont Longitudinal …
