In brief: Sixty-three students aged 7 to 12 years (32 boys, 31 girls) were assessed for coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors, including family history of CHD, blood pressure, VO2 max, serum lipids, body composition, and diabetes mellitus cigarette smoking. Forty-two percent the children had one factor, 12% 3% two three respectively. This information was used encourage school administrators faculty modify physical education program, teach health fitness concepts in classroom, develop a...

Background: This study explored vaccination hesitancy, diabetes-specific COVID-19 concerns, and whether they predicted uptake in people with diabetes. Methods: Quantitative, cross-sectional, predictive approaches were used. An online survey was conducted diabetes attending four Australian health services, using convenience sampling (n = 842). The data collected included clinico-demographic characteristics, vaccine attitudes around confidence complacency. Clinico-demographic characteristics...
