Abstract Inspite of implementing policies to control mental health problems, depression remains a severe concern among older adults in India. We examined self-reported differences the men and women India associated factors for gender at population level. utilized nationally representative data from Longitudinal Aging Study (LASI) wave I, years 2017–2019. Our analytical sample comprised 30,637 ages 60 above (14,682 15,655 women). conducted descriptive statistics Chi-Square tests followed by...
To compare the impact of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2 inhibitor), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), with or without metformin, on out pocket and total prescription expenditure health-related quality life (HRQoL) for patients type diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This observational study utilized 2017-2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data from T2DM (≥18 years) SGLT2 inhibitor, GLP-1 RA, payer self-perspective. HRQoL was assessed using physical (PCS)...
Background.Polyomavirus reactivation can cause significant morbidity in solid organ transplant recipients, particularly BK virus (BKV) kidney patients.Less is known about dynamics of John Cunningham ( JCV) nonkidney patients.Methods.We examined the frequency urinary shedding polyomaviruses BKV and JCV their relationship to creatinine clearance (CrCl) a longitudinal study 41 33 liver recipients.Results.Any polyomavirus was more frequent than recipients (64% vs 39%; P = .03).JCV excreted...
Polyomavirus infection causes renal dysfunction after kidney transplantation, but it has not been thoroughly investigated in nonrenal solid-organ transplantation.Fifty lung-transplant recipients provided prospective urine and blood samples over the course of 17 months. Samples were analyzed for BK virus (BKV), JC (JCV), simian 40 (SV40) using conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR), sequence analysis, quantitative real-time PCR.Thirty-one (62%) 50 patients had polyomavirus detected at...
Polyomavirus infection causes nephropathy after kidney transplantation but has not been thoroughly investigated in nonrenal organ transplantation.Ninety lung transplant recipients were enrolled, and they provided urine samples for over 4.5 years. Samples analyzed BK virus (BKV), JC (JCV), simian 40 (SV40) by conventional quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Fifty-nine (66%) patients had polyomavirus detected at least once, including 38 (42%) BKV, 25 (28%) JCV, six (7%) SV40....
Effects of polyomavirus SV40 microRNA on pathogenesis viral infections in vivo are not known. Syrian golden hamsters the small animal model for studies SV40. We report here effects and influence structure regulatory region dynamics DNA levels vivo. Outbred young adult were inoculated by intracardiac route with 1×107 plaque-forming units four different variants Infected animals sacrificed from 3 to 270 days postinfection loads tissues determined quantitative real-time polymerase chain...
Abstract Objectives We examined the prevalence and associations of self-reported difficulty in activities daily living (ADL) instrumental (IADL) with pain among community-dwelling older adults India. also explored interaction effects age sex these associations. Methods used Longitudinal Ageing Study India (LASI) Wave 1 data (2017–2018). Our unweighted sample included 31,464 aged 60 years above. Outcome measures were having at least ADL/IADL. conducted multivariable logistic regression...
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are debilitating neurodegenerative disorders affecting one in every ten older Americans. In the United States, roughly 35.6 million Americans have dementia approximately 5.7 Alzheimer's. By 2050, count is expected to increase 13.2 top sixth cause of death U.S. People with ADRD face substantial challenges adapting their physical, psychological social environments. Like cognitively-intact adults, persons prefer age place a familiar environment....
Separate bodies of research have studied disparities by disability status and race or ethnicity in receipt cervical cancer screening. Much less is known about how these intersect. The purpose this study was to evaluate compliance with the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines for Pap testing age-eligible women at intersection ethnicity.
All authorities recommend against prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening in men 75 years and older. However, some primary care physicians (PCPs) continue to have high rates of PSA, with large variation testing. We assessed the tests, treatments, payments for cancer aged or older who PCPs low PSA testing rates. performed a retrospective cohort study using 2010 Medicare beneficiaries Texas, United States had no 2007–2009 an identifiable PCP. first identified vs. PCPs, then grouped two PCP...
India is a large middle-income country and has surpassed China in overall population, comprising 20% of the global population (over 1.43 billion people). experiencing major demographic shift its aging population. Chronic diseases are common among older adults can be persistent over life course, lead to onset disability, costly. Among India, existence multiple comorbid chronic conditions (i.e., multimorbidity) rapidly growing represents burgeoning public health burden. Prior research...
