2016

International audience; Parler de solitude, ce n’est pas toujours parler de personnes seules et, à l’inverse, parler de personnes seules, ce n’est pas forcément approcher la solitude. La solitude ne s’apprécie pas à l’aune de l’isolement : c’est un sentiment plus qu’une caractéristique. On peut être isolé de multiples manières : géographique, sociale, affective, mais on sentira éventuellement la solitude sans qu’aucun des critères d’isolement ne soit présent. Dans cet article, il sera question de poser le regard d’une démographe sur cette épineuse question et de revenir sur les principaux indicateurs qui permettent aujourd’hui de mesurer l’isolement et d’appréhender la solitude.ă[ENGLISH]ăI…

Mafia e libertà d'informazione

2009

Partendo da un’ampia riflessione sul ruolo giocato dai mezzi di comunicazione di massa nel creare consenso, nel modificare la percezione della realtà sociale, utilizzando l’appeal esercitata sul pubblico dai temi collegati o collegabili alle attività della criminalità organizzata, il saggio analizza il rapporto mafia e informazione evidenziando i suoi differenti ambiti. In primo luogo, ponendo in evidenza l’esigenza di inquadrare storicamente il tema, verificando se e come sia mutato nel tempo l’approccio della grande e della piccola stampa del nostro Paese nei confronti del fenomeno mafioso, rilevando la frequenza, la posizione e la qualità dei riferimenti contenuti in alcuni quotidiani, i…

Physical activity may not be associated with long‐term risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease

2021

Background While it is well established that physical activity is associated with reduced risk of vascular and non‐vascular outcomes as well as mortality, evidence on the association between physical activity and dementia is inconsistent. We aimed to assess the associations of physical activity with the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Material and methods We analysed data on 2,394 apparently healthy men with good baseline cognitive function from the prospective population‐based Kuopio Ischaemic Heart Disease study. We assessed habits of physical activity at baseline using a 12‐month leisure‐time physical activity (LTPA) questionnaire. Using Cox regression, we calculated hazar…
