This study examined the associations between negative changes and the self-classification to COVID-19 risk level among physically active older adults who are members of a nationwide health club chain. A cross-sectional digital survey was sent to 19,160 older adults (age ≥ 65). The data collected incl…

Predictors of respiratory cancer-related mortality for Jews and Arabs in Israel
This study highlights the importance and implications of understanding differences in respiratory cancer mortality between Jews and Arabs, a minority group in Israel, and is relevant for minority groups in general. There is a need to tailor interventions for these groups, based on differing underlying causes and contextual factors for these cancers. Cancer outcomes among these groups should also be studied separately, by sex, to better understand…

Research indicates that mortality rates are lower among the religious. Israeli ultra-orthodox Jews, called Haredim, have characteristics distinguishing them from the rest of the Jewish population in Israel. These include lower socioeconomic status, higher fertility rates and rates of young marriage, and isolation from the general population. Our retrospective cohort study aims to determine the difference in mortality rates between Haredi and non-…
