<h3>Background</h3> Although chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common cause of death and disability, little known about the effects socioeconomic status (SES) race–ethnicity on health outcomes. <h3>Methods</h3> The aim this study to determine independent impacts SES COPD severity status, functional limitations acute exacerbations among patients with access healthcare. Data were used from Function, Living, Outcomes Work cohort 1202 Kaiser Permanente Northern California Medical...
Asthma has been associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. The authors ascertained the association of asthma CVD and roles that sex, concurrent allergy, medications may play in this association. They assembled a cohort 203,595 Northern California adults parallel asthma-free referent (matched 1:1 on age, race/ethnicity); both cohorts were followed for incident nonfatal or fatal all-cause mortality from January 1, 1996, through December 31, 2008. Each was 66% female 47%...
Low body mass index has been associated with increased mortality in severe COPD. The impact of composition earlier the disease remains unclear. We studied on risk functional limitation used bioelectrical impedance to estimate a cohort 355 younger adults COPD who had broad spectrum severity. Among women, higher lean-to-fat ratio was lower self-reported after controlling for age, height, pulmonary function impairment, race, education, and smoking history (OR 0.45 per 0.50 increment ratio; 95%...
<b>Study question</b> Is there concordance between hip pain and radiographic osteoarthritis? <b>Methods</b> In this diagnostic test study, pelvic radiographs were assessed for osteoarthritis in two cohorts: the Framingham Osteoarthritis Study (community of Framingham, Massachusetts) Initiative (a multicenter longitudinal cohort study United States). Using visual representation joint, participants reported whether they had on most days location pain: anterior, groin, lateral, buttocks, or low...
Vascular calcification holds promise as a useful cardiovascular risk maker. Our objective was to examine the association between breast vascular and of disease (CVD) outcomes.A cohort study performed among 12,761 women, 40-79 years age at baseline (1968-1973), who attended multiphasic health checkups that included mammography. The outcome measures coronary heart (CHD), ischemic stroke, transient attack (TIA), hemorrhagic failure, ascertained using discharge diagnosis codes death records...
The authors' objective was to analyze the impact of respiratory impairment on risk physical functional limitations among adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They hypothesized that greater function decrement would result in a broad array involving organ systems remote from lung, key step pathway leading overall disability. authors used baseline data Function, Living, Outcomes, and Work (FLOW) study, prospective cohort study COPD recruited northern California 2005–2007....
Whether knee instability contributes to the increased risk of falls and fractures observed in persons with osteoarthritis (OA) has not been studied. We examined association buckling falling fall-related consequences older adults with, or at high for, OA.At 60-month visit Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study, men women ages 55-84 years were asked about past 3 months whether they fell when a buckled. Falls injuries 12 balance confidence assessed 60 84 months. Multivariate logistic regression was...
Previous studies have documented sex and racial/ethnic disparities in outcomes after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but the explanation of these remains limited. In a setting that controls for access to medical care, we evaluated whether prognosis AMI persist consideration socioeconomic background, personal history, management.We conducted prospective cohort study members (20,263 men 10,061 women) an integrated health care delivery system northern California who had experienced between...
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have recently gained immense popularity. Powerful commercial models like ChatGPT and Gemini, as well open-source ones such LLaVA, are essentially general-purpose applied to solve a wide variety of tasks, including those in computer vision. These neural networks possess strong general knowledge reasoning abilities that they proven capable working even on tasks for which were not specifically trained. We compared the capabilities most powerful MLLMs...
29 Background: High adherence to AICR recommendations on diet, adiposity, and physical activity is associated with improved survival among adults colorectal cancer (CRC). However, over 80% of participants in existing studies self-reported as non-Hispanic White (NHW). We studied the association between overall mortality CRC a multiethnic cohort. Methods: This prospective analysis used data from Multiethnic Cohort (MEC) study. The MEC racially/ ethnically diverse cohort 200,000 residing Hawaii...
Objective. To evaluate the longitudinal impact of asthma specialist care on risk emergency department (ED) visits and hospitalization for asthma. Data Sources/Study Setting. A prospective cohort study using both telephone survey computerized utilization data. Study Design. We recruited a 4,742 adult members closed panel managed organization who were hospitalized (the “baseline hospitalization”). Collection/Extraction Methods. Visits to specialists ascertained from databases. Specialist after...
