MISURARE LE DISUGUAGLIANZE SOCIO-ECONOMICHE NELLE MALATTIE CRONICHE IN RELAZIONE ALLO STILE DI VITA
In Europa, le principali malattie non trasmissibili (MNT), comprendono il diabete, le malattie cardiovascolari, il cancro, le malattie respiratorie croniche e i disturbi mentali, e rappresentano complessivamente circa l'86% delle morti e il 77% della spesa sanitaria. Delle sei regioni dell'OMS, la regione europea è quella più colpita dalle MNT (WHO, 2014). È stato dimostrato che almeno l'80% di tutte le malattie cardiache, ictus e diabete di tipo 2 e almeno un terzo dei casi di cancro sono evitabili (WHO, 2013). La strategia di sorveglianza globale di OMS sulle MNT si basa su una visione multidimensionale di determinanti della malattia in cui i fattori di rischio sono raggruppati lungo la t…

SEDENTARINESS AND EDUCATION CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO SOCIOECONOMIC INEQUALITIES IN NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
In Europe, the main non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases and mental disorders, all together account for an estimated 86% of the deaths and 77% of the disease burden. Of the six WHO regions, Europe is the most affected by NCDs [1]. The detection and control of physiological and behavioral risk factors (BRFs) remain the essential preventive strategy to counteract not only the average population’s exposure to the main NCDs, but also socioeconomic inequalities, which are related to chronic diseases. The scope of this work is to investigate socioeconomic inequalities among the European elderly in NCDs and BRFs for NCD…
A novel Angiogenin gene mutation in a sporadic patient with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis from southern Italy
Mutations in the Angiogenin gene (ANG) linked to 14q11.2 have been recently discovered to be associated with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in Irish and Scottish populations. In our study we investigated the role of ANG gene in ALS patients from southern Italy. We found a novel mutation in the signal peptide of the ANG gene in a sporadic patient with ALS (SALS). The molecular analysis of the ANG gene also demonstrated an allelic association with the rs11701 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in familial ALS (FALS) but not in SALS patients. Our finding supports the evidence that the ANG gene is involved in ALS.
