Chronic Pain Prevalence and Psychosocial Burden in the Italian Population from the 2019 European Health Interview Survey
Chronic pain (CP) is a global healthcare concern requiring careful monitoring. In Italy, the most recent CP prevalence estimates date back to 2003. In this work, we analyzed data from the 2019 European Health Interview Survey, based on a representative sample of the Italian population (n = 44,492), to update national CP prevalence estimates and evaluate its psychosocial burden. CP was detected using a validated questionnaire. Our results show tha…
Stability and change in genetic and environmental influences on depressive symptoms in response to Covid-19 pandemic
Although the heritability of depressive symptoms was rather stable across the targeted time window, different environmental as well as genetic factors seemed to act before and after the lockdown, which suggests possible gene-environment interaction
Measuring Child Socio-Economic Position in Birth Cohort Research
The assessment of early life socioeconomic position (SEP) is essential to the tackling of social inequalities in health. Although different indicators capture different SEP dimensions, maternal education is often used as the only indicator in birth cohort research, especially in multi-cohort analyses. Household income, as a direct measure of material resources, is one of the most important indicators, but one that is underused because it is diffi…
The Relationship Between Satisfaction With Life and Depression Symptoms by Gender
Depression is a worldwide public health concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently recommended the implementation of programs for strengthening subjective well-being (SWB) to reduce mental disorders, including depression. Also, in 2013, European member-states agreed on a single measure of SWB, i.e., life satisfaction, for monitoring the progress of SWB in the WHO health policy framework, "Health 2020." Life satisfaction is strongly…
Attitudes and Willingness to Donate Biological Samples for Research Among Potential Donors in the Italian Twin Register
Most ethical and social research is focused on disease-oriented biobanks, while healthy donors' motivation toward population biobanking is scarcely explored. We investigated willingness to donate biological samples for research and attitudes toward donation by a mail survey among 4,894 twins enrolled in the population-based Italian Twin Register. We compared responses in different socio-demographic categories and estimated, by the twin design, en…
