Frailty syndrome in community care – tips for patients and caregivers
2017
Zespół słabości (ZS) jest dynamicznym stanem charakteryzującym się zmniejszeniem fizjologicznych rezerw organizmu, osłabieniem odporności na czynniki stresogenne oraz zaburzeniami funkcjonowania układów ciała. W ZS dochodzi do zmniejszenia masy ciała i siły mięśniowej, problemów z poruszaniem się, utrzymaniem równowagi oraz do zmniejszenia aktywności fizycznej. Wyróżniamy trzy stadia zespołu słabości: wczesny ZS (pre- -frail), zespół słabości (frail) oraz powikłania zespołu słabości. Głównym czynnikiem ryzyka wystąpienia ZS jest wiek podeszły, ale znaczenie mają również czynniki genetyczne, środowiskowe, styl życia oraz choroby współistniejące. Do rozpoznania ZS stosuje się m.in. skalę Frie…
P3‐315: MID‐LIFE WORK‐RELATED STRESS INCREASES DEMENTIA RISK IN LATE‐LIFE: THE CAIDE 30‐YEAR STUDY
2014
Background: The associations between work-related stress and various health outcomes in mid-life are well documented, yet less is known about the effects on late-life cognitive process and dementia. The current study investigated the associations between work-related stress in mid-life and the development of cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease in late-life. Methods: The data was derived from the Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Incidence of Dementia (CAIDE) study; a prospective cohort study. Participants were randomly selected from four independent population-based samples that completed cardiovascular surveys. First baseline examinations occurred when participants were 50 y…
Epidemiology of Fragility Fractures and Social Impact
2020
AbstractHip fracture is an important and debilitating condition in older people, especially in women. The epidemiological data vary between countries, but it is globally estimated that hip fractures currently affect around 18% of women and 6% of men. Although the age-standardised incidence is gradually decreasing in many countries, this is far outweighed by the ageing of the population. Thus, the global number of hip fractures is expected to increase. The direct costs associated with this condition are enormous since it requires a long period of hospitalisation and subsequent rehabilitation. Furthermore, hip fracture is associated with the development of other negative consequences, such as…
Prevention of overweight and obesity in a Norwegian public health care context: a mixed-methods study
2021
Abstract Background Greater understanding about the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity in preschool children within public health care is needed. This study assessed the impact of The First Steps module in routine primary health care including mapping of height/weight and diet followed by parental counselling of healthy habits on overweight and obesity in children aged 2 to 7 years. Further, we explored the experiences of public health nurses (PHNs) with the module. Methods Body weight and height obtained in 2014 and 2016 were extracted retrospectively for 676 children from the health records of children at 2, 4, or 6 years of age in five child health centers in Southern Nor…
Consequences and comorbidities associated with obesity
2017
This chapter reviews the importance of diabetes as a major complication of obesity, starting with examining the epidemiological relationship between diabetes and obesity. It is clear from the epidemiological data reported that obesity is strongly associated with onset and, in particular, the premature onset, of type 2 diabetes. However, in established heart disease and heart failure, obesity is associated with lower mortality. The chapter considers the epidemiological evidence linking adiposity with the development of cancer, and describes the proposed mechanisms by which excess body fat may impact on cancer risk. The global prevalence of osteoarthritis continues to rise, both because of an…
Epidemiology of Disease Conditions in Italy. Has Anything Changed? Environment, Professional Exposure, and Lifestyle. Is Time for Screening?
2013
Risk factors analysis in bladder cancer should consider not only the clinical and pathological features of the tumor but also environmental and lifestyle factors. They may play, in fact, a relevant role not only in the pathogenesis but also in the biological behavior of the tumor. The association between cigarette smoking and bladder cancer has been consistently confirmed in several case-control and cohort studies. The risk of bladder cancer seems to increase with duration and intensity of smoking. Another environmental risk factor, although not definitively proved, is water supply. Chlorination or water pollution by pesticides and other chemical factors is considered a relevant risk facto…
Epidemiology and risk factors of eating disorders: A two-stage epidemiologic study in a Spanish population aged 12-18 years
2003
Objective The authors studied the prevalence rates of eating disorders (ED) and their risk factors in a Spanish population aged 12–18 years. Method A two-stage epidemiologic study was conducted in the province of Valencia. Educational centers, classrooms, and individuals were selected randomly. The initial sample comprised 544 subjects. During Stage 1, subjects were screened with the 40-item Eating Attitude Test and a sociodemographic questionnaire that evaluates risk factors. During Stage 2, a semistandardized clinical interview was conducted with each participant. A random control group was paired by class, age, and sex. Comorbid psychiatric disorders and partial and subclinical forms wer…
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
Childhood Leukemia in the Vicinity of Nuclear Power Plants in Germany
2008
SUMMARY The causes of leukemia are largely unclear. The question whether leukemia rates are increased near nuclear power plants is controversial. The German Childhood Cancer Registry has published an epidemiological case-control study on childhood cancer and nuclear power plants. Method: The study was based on the distance of children's residences from nuclear power plants and addressed the question whether children under age 5 with cancer live closer, on average, to nuclear power plants than randomly selected controls. Odds Ratios (OR) for distance categories and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were calculated. Results: An association was found between the nearness of residence to nucl…
