Abstract Emerging reports of rare neurological complications associated with COVID-19 infection and vaccinations are leading to regulatory, clinical public health concerns. We undertook a self-controlled case series study investigate hospital admissions from in the 28 days after first dose ChAdOx1nCoV-19 ( n = 20,417,752) or BNT162b2 12,134,782), SARS-CoV-2-positive test 2,005,280). There was an increased risk Guillain–Barré syndrome (incidence rate ratio (IRR), 2.90; 95% confidence interval...

Whether a healthy lifestyle impacts longevity in the presence of multimorbidity is unclear. We investigated associations between and life expectancy people with without multimorbidity.A total 480,940 middle-aged adults (median age 58 years [range 38-73], 46% male, 95% white) were analysed UK Biobank; this longitudinal study collected data 2006 2010, participants followed up until 2016. extracted 36 chronic conditions defined as 2 or more conditions. Four factors, based on national...

Multimorbidity is an emerging public health priority. Physical activity (PA) recommended as one of the main lifestyle behaviours, yet benefits PA for people with multimorbidity are unclear. We assessed on mortality and life expectancy in without multimorbidity. Using UK Biobank dataset, we extracted data 36 chronic conditions defined (a) 2 or more conditions, (b) combined self-reported overall health, (c) top-10 most common comorbidities. Leisure-time (LTPA) total (TPA) were measured by...

Background: Myocarditis is more common after severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection than COVID-19 vaccination, but the risks in younger people and sequential vaccine doses are less certain. Methods: A self-controlled case series study of ages 13 years or older vaccinated for England between December 1, 2020, 15, 2021, evaluated association vaccination myocarditis, stratified by age sex. The incidence rate ratio excess number hospital admissions deaths from myocarditis per...

Background: There are multiple risk factors for heart failure, but contemporary temporal trends according to sex, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity unknown. Methods: Using a national UK general practice database linked hospitalizations (1998–2017), 108 638 incident failure patients were identified. Differences in among patient groups adjusted sociodemographic age-adjusted investigated using logistic linear regression. Results: Over time, 5.3 year (95% CI, 5.2–5.5) age difference between...
