The Epidemiology of colorectal cancer in Guangzhou, China
To explore the epidemiological features and trends of colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in Guangzhou, and offering scientific evidence for its prevention and control. Cross-sectional study with Joinpoint regression analysis was utilized to analyze CRC incidence and mortality trends. The age-period-cohort model was applied to evaluate the impacts of age, period, and birth cohort on CRC incidence and mortality. 36086 CRC cases and 155…
Association between triglyceride-glucose index and estimated 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease in Nigerian non-diabetic hypertensives
The Triglyceride Glucose (TyG) index is a new and sensitive marker of Insulin Resistance (IR). Its relationship with a 10-year cardiovascular risk (CVD) in hypertensives in Nigeria is currently unknown. This was a cross-sectional study involving 1,430 adult Nigerians with hypertension. The TyG index of subjects was divided into quartiles (Q1-Q4), and its association with 10-year CVD risk using Framingham 10-year Cardiovascular Risk Score was expl…
Community perceptions of the health equity navigators program
Health navigation programs are increasingly gaining attention as a promising strategy to promote healthcare access and reduce disparities, particularly in underserved and rural communities. This study explores community perceptions of the Health Equity Navigators Program, identifies socio-demographic factors associated with perceived helpfulness in improving healthcare access and navigation, and highlights practical implications for tailoring and…
Prevalence and factors associated with diagnosed diabetes mellitus among Asian Indian adults in the United States
Higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been documented among South Asians living in the United States. However, combining the south Asian subgroups into one category masks the heterogeneity in the diagnosed DM, after controlling for known protective and risk factors. We assessed the association of Asian Indian ethnicity to diagnosed DM using a nationally representative sample of 1,986 Asian Indian adults in the US compared to 109,072 Non…
Nutritional status, symptom burden, and predictive validity of the Pt-Global web tool/PG-SGA in CKD patients
Background Despite not being frequently recognized, malnutrition, a consequence of chronic kidney disease, negatively affects morbidity, mortality, functional activity, and patient’s quality of life. Management of this condition is made more difficult by the dearth of knowledge regarding the symptom burden brought on by inadequate nutritional status. Additionally, there are multiple tools to evaluate nutritional status in CKD; but, Pt-Global web …
Associations Between Major Depressive Episodes and School‐ or Community‐Based Activity Participation Among Adolescents Using Nationwide Representative Data
BACKGROUND: This study examined the association between participation in school-based and/or community-based activity and major depressive episodes (MDE) in adolescents using nationally representative data. METHODS: This study utilized cross-sectional data from the National Survey of Drug Use and Health from 2015 to 2019. Nine screening questions determined the presence of past-year MDE in adolescents ages 12-17 (n = 67,033). Participants indicat…
Cigarette taxation and neonatal and infant mortality
Previous studies on the associations between cigarette taxes and infant survival have all been in high-income countries and did not examine the relative benefits of different taxation levels and structures. We evaluated longitudinal associations of cigarette taxes with neonatal and infant mortality globally. We applied country-level panel regressions using 2008–2018 annual mortality and biennial WHO tobacco taxation data. Complete data was availa…
When distance matters
Despite efforts to increase the proportion of individuals diagnosed with HIV who receive anti-retroviral therapy, 28% of people living with HIV (PLHIV) aged 15 years and older in eastern and southern Africa and 42% in western and central Africa were not receiving anti-retroviral therapy in 2019. Therefore, improving access to health care services is key to reduce HIV incidence and prevalence. The main aim of this study was to generate high-resolu…
