Epidemiologic Factors
Abstract
Research has shown that personality traits have strong predictive validity for economic variables (e.g., income, work attainment) and epidemiological variables (e.g., longevity, physical health), as well as for psychological variables such as problem behaviors, and mental disorders. Importantly, pers...

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the relation between birth weight and bone mass in a group of adolescent boys. This study included 44 adolescent (aged 14-20yr) boys. Anthropometric characteristics (height and weight) were measured and birth weights were obtained from the obstetric records. Body...

Abstract
This paper engages into a global assessment of statistics and their potential uses, ranging from 19th century accounts of "suicidal acts" by the central services of criminal justice in France, to European comparative data on suicide in the years 2000. The most recent facts and figures about teenager...

The objective of this retrospective study was to estimate the frequency of CDA I and II, based on all cases reported in the last 42 yr in publications and identified registries or surveys. Reports were collected of 124 and 377 confirmed cases of...

Abstract
Echinococcosis is an important parasitic zoonosis with worldwide distribution. The endemicity degree of echinococcosis differs with regions and is influenced by various factors. This paper reviews the biological, environmental and social factors which may affect the endemic intensity of echinococcos...

Abstract
The average annual incidence in natural epidemic period was 7.12/100,000, which was also the highest among the 4 periods with the mortality rate as 0.89/100,000. The average annual incidence was 0.11/100,000 which was the lowest while the mortality rate was 0.01/100,000 in the period when live-atten...

Abstract
The social justice framing within the WHO Commission's Report on the Social Determinants of Health is vital. Yet it can too easily be dismissed as ideology and an unfit justification for major change. Although the general public acknowledges that structural factors, such as poverty, can affect healt...

The model explains 39.3 percentage of the variance in well-being (adjusted r2). Among those 10, the 5 most significant determinants of well-being in descending order are average number of persons per room (beta = -0.254, p < 0.001), area of residence (1 = KMA) (beta = -0.223, p < 0.001), area of res...

Are comparisons the answer to understanding behavioral aspects of aging in racial and ethnic groups?
Abstract
We propose that simple comparisons between groups are neither necessary nor sufficient to advance our understanding of ethnic minorities. We discuss common pitfalls conducted in group-differences research, including a specific treatment on the issue of statistical power issues. Our goal is to encour...

Elderly individuals represented 13.4% (3,142/23,457), 59.4% women and 40.6% men. The mean age of the participants was 69.5 years. Approximately 50% of participants reported having hypertension, 33% hypercholesterolemia, and 18% diabetes. Smoking and hypercholesterolemia dropped significantly with ag...

We focus specifically on one fundamental cultural variable: differences in individualistic versus collectivist values. We suggest that specific behavioural manifestations of collectivism (e.g. ethnocentrism, conformity) can inhibit the transmission of pathogens; and so we hypothesize that collectivi...

Increasing age was associated with increasing risk of requiring discharge to an alternative location (DAL) (p<0.001). This risk rose from 13% in the sixth decade by approximately 10% every additional decade. Males were 2.5 times more likely than females to require DAL. Patients who were more indepen...

Cysticercosis-related mortality has not been studied in Brazil. Deaths recorded in the State of São Paulo from 1985 to 2004 in which cysticercosis was mentioned on any line or in any part of the death certificate were studied. Causes of death were processed using the Multiple Cause Tabulator. Over...

First, there are no credible arguments against NICU care that rely on invoking cost or distributive justice. NICU doll...

Conservative changes in the three methodological factors produced increases in the frequency of AD ranging from 2.1- to 28.8-fold. Measures of frequency by year of birth show the largest magnitude of increase;...

These appear to be driven predominantly by differentials in disability incidence that also compound to produce greater differentials in DFLE betw...

In lack of a dose-response pattern by cumulative exposure, the interpretation of an overall increased risk might well be that there is no definite effect. The proper consideration should be, however, that the measure of exposure could be inadequate, suggesting a need for further analyses and evaluat...

The term "reverse epidemiology" has been proposed to address the apparent different relationship between numerous risk factors and outcomes among dialysis patients: thus, obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol, and elevated creatinine all appear to be associated with decreased risk. Since this is c...
