The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between environmental and occupational organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) exposure and Parkinson's disease (PD) risk.

Stillbirth is a significant public health challenge in India, accounting for a substantial portion of the global burden. Exposure to household air pollution from solid fuel combustion during pregnancy has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including stillbirth. This study aimed to investigate the association between solid fuel use and stillbirth risk in India, utilizing data from the National Family Health Survey 5 (NFHS-5).

Epidemiology deals with all aspects of wellness and diseases in communities. Due to the crucial contribution of epidemiology in basic and applied research, operationalization of social and health constellations, and advancing multidisciplinary science, this study aims to Epidemiological Landscape in Iran.

Analyze the burden of diseases attributable to risk factors (RF) in Brazil according to age, sex, and Brazilian states between 1990 and 2021.

Disability is a complex concept, and generally refers to a situation where the carrying out of daily routines and social interactions is made more difficult for people. Despite research suggesting an increase in disability worldwide, there are few studies that afford a longitudinal perspective, with most focused exclusively on older populations. This study takes a generational perspective with the aim of analyzing the trend of disability in Spain STUDY DESIGN: Age-period-cohort analysis.

Reducing consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) is a primary public health goal in Thailand, but information on the characteristics of SSB consumers remains limited. This study aims to gain knowledge about the characteristics of SSB consumers in Thailand.

Evaluate RESPOND, a community-based systems intervention to prevent childhood obesity and non-communicable diseases (NCD).

To assess the association between schoolchildren's consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) and various lifestyle factors of their parents in Brazil.

This study aims to create a vision of the future hospital to help healthcare leaders understand how changes in society and the healthcare system, compounded by climate change, could affect future hospital estate.

We aimed to investigate the association between physical activity (PA) and the risk of incident multimorbidity in adults from southern Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Health check-ups constitute an essential part of China's primary health care policy and a key measure for health screening and risk assessment for elderly people with hypertension and chronic diseases. The role of health check-ups in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between health check-ups and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in elderly individuals with hypertension.

Globally, people are living longer, and many will have multiple, complex chronic diseases. These chronic diseases are often a leading cause of death and disability particularly in emerging developed countries. For these emerging nations, the current trajectory of gradual health system change is likely to lag changing population needs and escalating cost pressures. Consequently, there is a need for a stepwise evolutionary change in the approach to care delivery in these countries. The integrated care (IC) concept describes a collaborative model for organizing healthcare systems, particularly for chronic disease management that pulls together health systems, social science, managerial and patient-centered perspectives. The IC approach could help drive forward efforts to improve population health outcomes, reduce duplication and inefficiency in health care systems, and could be the solution needed by emerging developed countries.

Voluntary health insurance (VHI) often serves a supplementary role in Europe. The ageing population and adoption of cost-sharing models in response to economic pressures raise concerns that VHI could contribute to health inequalities among older people. This study investigates the association of VHI with health outcomes among older people across 16 European countries and Israel.

To analyze the epidemiological profile of natural hazard-related disasters in the Americas between 2000 and 2021.

Evidence on the associations of childhood parental education with late-life cognitive function remains inconsistent. Additionally, studies focusing on dimensions of cognitive function are scarce, with none from China. Therefore, we examined the associations of childhood parental education with late-life cognitive function and it's dimensions and investigated potential interactions.

The triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) is a well-established surrogate marker for insulin resistance. While an association between insulin resistance and depression has been identified, that between TyG-BMI and depression remains unclear. Therefore, we used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database to investigate this.

This study aimed to assess the disease burden of cancer in young adults globally and the changes between 2012 and 2022.

Dementia is a fast-growing public health problem. This study examined the association of physical activity and estimated cardiorespiratory fitness (eCRF) with the risk of cognitive impairment.

Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is associated with a reduced risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but the optimal accumulation patterns are unclear. We aimed to investigate the associations between accelerometer-measured bouted and sporadic MVPA and incident COPD in the UK Biobank.

Federal regulators recently authorised two vaccines designed to prevent infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) for adults aged 60 or older. While some efforts have been made to study vaccine uptake thus far, few have studied this group's intentions to vaccinate, as well as potential barriers to vaccination. This omission is noteworthy as adults aged 60 or older may be at an increased risk of experiencing severe complications from RSV infection.
