The annual costs of cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders attributable to job strain in France.
2013
International audience; BACKGROUND: Work stress has become a major occupational risk factor in industrialized countries and an important economic issue. The objective was to estimate the annual costs of coronary heart diseases (CHD) and mental disorders (MD) attributable to job strain exposure according to Karasek's model in France for the year 2003 from a societal perspective. METHODS: We produced attributable fraction estimates which were applied to the number of cases (morbidity and mortality) and the costs of CHD and MD. Relative risk estimates came from a systematic literature review of prospective studies. We conducted meta-analyses based on this selection of studies. Prevalence of ex…
Even a low-dose of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity reduces mortality by 22% in adults aged ≥60 years: a systematic review and meta-analysis
2015
Type de document : revue de littérature; International audience; Background The health benefits of 150 min a week of moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity (MVPA) in older adults, as currently recommended, are well established, but the suggested dose in older adults is often not reached.Objectives We aimed to determine whether a lower dose of MVPA was effective in reducing mortality, in participants older than 60 years.Methods The PubMed and Embase databases were searched from inception to February 2015. Only prospective cohorts were included. Risk ratios of death were established into four doses based on weekly Metabolic Equivalent of Task (MET)-minutes, defined as inactive (refe…
Does sports club participation contribute to physical activity among children and adolescents? : A comparison across six European countries
2018
Aims: Insufficient physical activity (PA) is one of the largest public health challenges of our time and requires a multisectoral public-health response. PA recommendations state that all children and adolescents should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) daily and carry out vigorous PA (VPA) three times weekly. While participation in sports club activities is known to enhance the probability of reaching the recommended overall PA level, less is known about the contribution of sports club participation to VPA and few cross-national comparisons have been carried out. The purpose of this paper is to study whether participation in sports club activities is associat…
What Are Young Women Living Conditions after Breast Cancer? Health-Related Quality of Life, Sexual and Fertility Issues, Professional Reinsertion
2020
In recent decades, the living conditions of young breast cancer (BC) survivors have garnered increasing attention. This population-based study aimed to identify the clinical, social and economic determinants of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), and to describe other living conditions of young long-term BC survivors. Women with non-metastatic BC diagnosed between 2006 and 2015, aged 45 years and younger at the time of diagnosis, were identified through the Breast and Gynecologic Cancer Registry of the Cô
La “Donna di Ostuni”, a case of eclampsia 28,000 years ago?
2017
La "Donna di Ostuni", the Lady from Ostuni (fortified medieval city, on the southern Italian Adriatic coast) is the skeleton of "the human most ancient mother" ever found by paleoanthropologists, grave dated of 28,000 years BP. It concerns a 20-years-old woman buried with her baby in her womb estimated at 8 months gestation. To date, the cause of the maternal-fetal deaths is qualified of unknown origin. We propose that eclampsia may be a possible explanation for these deaths (mother and baby together). Eclampsia (convulsions), the curse of human births (non-existent in other mammals), has been described since writings has existed 5000 years ago in all civilisations. This plausible descripti…
Épidémiologie des tumeurs neuroendocrines intestinales
2017
International audience; Few data are available about the epidemiology of digestive neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). Malignant digestive (MD) NETs remain as a rare cancer representing 1 % of digestive cancers. In France, the incidence rates of MD-NETs are estimated to around 1.1/100,000 inhabitants in males and 0.9/100,000 in females which then increased over time, with probably more than 1,000 new cases per year. Due to the relative good prognosis, NETs are the second more prevalent digestive cancer next to colorectal cancer. Most gastroenteropancreatic NETs are well-differentiated (WD-NETs); poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas (PDNEC) account for less than 20% of the cases in mos…
Difficulties encountered in estimating disability related to mental disorders in a general population survey. The French Disability and Health Survey…
2014
A better understanding of disability phenomenon linked to mental disorders is a main issue in France. The data collected in the Disability and Health Survey carried out in France in 2008 and 2009 among the general population could help reach that aim. The methodological point of view of this article aims at showing why improving the knowledge concerning disability linked to mental disorders remains a difficult task, even when the collected data cover the entire spectrum of health and disability (including environmental information).The first categories of difficulties derive from the lack of consensus about the definition of disability linked to mental disorders –named “Handicap psychique” …
Influence of the Urban Exposome on Birth Weight
2019
Background: The exposome is defined as the totality of environmental exposures from conception onwards. It calls for providing a holistic view of environmental exposures and their effects on human health by evaluating multiple environmental exposures simultaneously during critical periods of life. Objective: We evaluated the association of the urban exposome with birth weight. Methods: We estimated exposure to the urban exposome, including the built environment, air pollution, road traffic noise, meteorology, natural space, and road traffic (corresponding to 24 environmental indicators and 60 exposures) for nearly 32,000 pregnant women from six European birth cohorts. To evaluate associatio…
Migrants' and refugees' health status and healthcare in Europe: A scoping literature review
2020
Abstract Background There is increasing attention paid to the arrival of migrants from outwith the EU region to the European countries. Healthcare that is universally and equably accessible needs to be provided for these migrants throughout the range of national contexts and in response to complex and evolving individual needs. It is important to look at the evidence available on provision and access to healthcare for migrants to identify barriers to accessing healthcare and better plan necessary changes. Methods This review scoped 77 papers from nine European countries (Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain, and Sweden) in English and in country-specific languages i…
