Evaluating community resilience through social media during China’s first post-Covid-19 reopening
Background: In the face of pandemics from infectious diseases, enhancing community resilience is increasingly important. It is, therefore, essential to evaluate community resilience and identify factors that can strengthen it. This study aimed to evaluate community resilience by leveraging a data set comprising user information from Weibo and applying interpretable machine learning (ML) techniques to identify the contributions of various indicato…

Flooding exposure accelerated biological aging
Floods have been the most common type of disaster and are expected to increase in frequency and intensity due to climate change. Although there is growing evidence on the impacts of floods on human health, none has so far investigated the association between flooding exposure and biological aging acceleration. We collected data from 364 841 participants from the UK Biobank project. Flooding data before baseline were retrieved from the Dartmouth F…
Participation in the Global Corporate Challenge®, a Four-Month Workplace Pedometer Program, Reduces Psychological Distress
Participation in a workplace pedometer-based program is associated with a sustained reduction in psychological distress. Low-impact physical health programs conducted in groups or teams that integrate a social component may be an avenue to improve both physical and psychological health in the workplace
Socioeconomic, Behavioural, and Social Health Correlates of Optimism and Pessimism in Older Men and Women
Factors associated with higher optimism and lower pessimism were also those demonstrated to support healthy ageing. Health-promotion action at the individual level (e.g., smoking cessation or regular physical activity), health professional level (e.g., social prescribing or improving access and quality of care for all older adults), and community level (e.g., opportunities for volunteer work or low-cost social activities for older adults) may imp…
Transmission of Sars-CoV-2 in a primary school setting with and without public health measures using real-world contact data
Background: Stringent public health measures have been shown to influence the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 within school environments. We investigated the potential transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in a primary school setting with and without public health measures, using fine-grained physical positioning traces captured before the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Approximately 172.63 million position data from 98 students and six teachers from an open-plan p…
The Association of Dispositional Optimism and Pessimism With Cardiovascular Disease Events in Older Adults
Objective: Positive psychosocial factors may protect against cardiovascular disease (CVD). We aimed to determine the association of optimism and pessimism with CVD events in community-dwelling older adults. Methods: 11,651 adults aged 70 years and over, participants of the ASPREE Longitudinal Study of Older Persons (ALSOP), were followed-up for 4.7 years (median). The association of optimism and pessimism (assessed as separate constructs by revis…
Effectiveness of public health measures in reducing the incidence of covid-19, Sars-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality
The clinical educator’s guide to fostering learner motivation
Motivation theory and research remain underused by health professions educators. Some educators say it can seem too abstract. To address this, we applied health care language to learner motivation theories. Using a familiar metaphor, we examined the indications, mechanism of action, administration, and monitoring of learner motivation interventions. Similar to the treatment monographs in medicine compendia, we summarized each motivation intervent…
Dispositional Optimism and All-Cause Mortality in Older Adults
OBJECTIVE: Optimism is modifiable and may be associated with healthy aging. We aim to investigate whether dispositional optimism is associated with all-cause mortality in adults 70 years and older. METHODS: Between 2010 and 2014, older adults free of serious cardiovascular disease and dementia were recruited through primary care physicians and enrolled in the Aspirin Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) clinical trial. Australian ASPREE partic…

Socioeconomic status and self-reported, screen-detected and total diabetes prevalence in Chinese men and women in 2011-2012
BACKGROUND: A rapid epidemiological transition is taking place in China and the association between socioeconomic status (SES) and diabetes prevalence is not clear and may vary by population characteristics and geography within the country. We describe the associations between educational level, annual household living expenditure (AHLE) and diabetes prevalence in a large middle-aged and elderly Chinese population using data from a nationwide cro…

BMI, Waist Circumference Reference Values for Chinese School-Aged Children and Adolescents
This study provided new BMI and WC percentile curves and reference values for Chinese children and adolescents aged 7-18 years, which can be adopted in future researches. Large longitudinal study is still needed to reveal the childhood growth pattern and validate the inconsistence between different percentile studies
Global and regional estimates of COPD prevalence
BACKGROUND: The burden of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) across many world regions is high. We aim to estimate COPD prevalence and number of disease cases for the years 1990 and 2010 across world regions based on the best available evidence in publicly accessible scientific databases. METHODS: We conducted a systematic search of Medline, EMBASE and Global Health for original, population-based studies providing spirometry-based preva…
