Abstract Objective: To explore whether individuals who consume higher amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) have more adverse mental health symptoms. Design: Using a cross-sectional design, we measured the consumption UPF as percentage total energy intake in kilo-calories using NOVA classification system. We explored were likely to report mild depression, mentally unhealthy days and anxious per month multivariable analyses adjusting for potential confounding variables. Setting:...

Cadmium contamination of tobacco may contribute to the health hazards cigarette smoking. The 2005-2012 United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data provided a unique opportunity conduct cross-sectional survey cadmium biomarkers Among sample 6761 participants, we evaluated mean differences correlations between in blood urine characteristics never, former current smokers. We found statistically significant biomarker levels never smokers as well In smokers, duration years...

Individuals who engage in regular physical activity, consume a healthy diet, have normal body mass index (BMI), as well avoid smoking and heavy alcohol consumption lower risks of morbidity mortality. While self-reported health is strong predictor mortality, data are sparse about the interrelationship concurrent behaviors health.Cross-sectional study design.The sample included 7,267 individuals aged 30-50 years without diabetes, heart failure, cancer, myocardial infarction, stroke emphysema...

As the US population ages, there is an expected increase in demand for home health aides (HHAs); therefore, it important to ensure their occupational well-being. Previous studies have demonstrated associations between negative emotions and musculoskeletal pain. Using survey data collected from 285 HHAs, we characterize association affect Affect was measured using Positive Negative Schedule, while pain Brief Pain Inventory. We found that as positive composite score increased, decreased [β =...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver conditions in adolescence are associated with premature mortality adulthood. Effective screening could impact the population burden of this disease.We sought to determine which adolescents should be screened for non-alcoholic using vibration-controlled transient elastography.We simulated a program 938 from National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey 2017/2018. We stratified subjects by body mass index metabolic parameters analyzed our data standard diagnostic...

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common in overweight adolescents, and screening with serum alanine transaminase (ALT) levels recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. We sought to determine if ALT an accurate adolescent measure for NAFLD a nationally representative sample adolescents. Diagnosis was determined using vibration-controlled transient elastography. Analyses were performed calculate sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative Youden’s index at...

Home healthcare aides (HHAs) are a growing U.S. workforce highly susceptible to workplace stressors and musculoskeletal pain. In the present study we: 1) examine association of pain life satisfaction emotional exhaustion; 2) characterize interest in meditation yoga sample HHAs. A nonprobabilistic HHAs employed at home agencies Florida, Massachusetts, Oregon (n = 285 total) completed self-administered questionnaire with standard survey measures on location, duration, severity; satisfaction;...

Lifestyle behaviors relevant to cardiovascular health are learned during childhood and continued into adulthood. Children adolescents who participate in unhealthy have a higher lifetime risk of disease Public institutions publish behavior clinical recommendations designed for reduce their risk. We assessed the prevalence trends cardiovascular-relevant tests among early using nationally representative database.In 2020, we compared factors 1408 surveyed from 1988 1994 with that 1812 2011 2016...

Objective Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) taking natalizumab are at risk for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). We sought to describe the outcomes of discontinuing on basis PML and those obtaining additional screening across a range scenarios using decision tree models. Methods Health state probabilities values, measured as proportion quality–adjusted life years (PQALY) relative baseline health, were based literature review. Probabilities worsening MS while continuing...

The interrelationships between cadmium biomarker levels, smoking, and myocardial infarction stroke have been established. In this cross-sectional analysis, we explored the of blood angina. We analyzed National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES, 2003-2014) accounting for multi-staged complex sampling design. Participants 40-79 years age with levels but without a history and/or were included (n = 14,832). examined (3 tertile groups) in relation to 3 (diagnosed, undiagnosed, composite...
