AimsWhile excessive sitting time is related adversely to cardio-metabolic health, it unknown whether standing a suitable replacement activity or ambulatory movement required. Using isotemporal substitution analyses, we modelled cross-sectional associations with risk biomarkers of reallocating (2 h/day) from stepping.
To describe survival patterns in a nationally complete cohort of Australian women with epithelial ovarian cancer, by sociodemographic and clinical factors. All 1192 diagnosed invasive cancer 2005 were identified through state-based registries. We obtained detailed information from their medical records 2009 updated data 2012. Crude 3-year, 5-year 7-year rates; 3-year conditional survival; hazard ratios (HRs) for the association participant characteristics survival, multivariable Cox...
To identify characteristics associated with the hospitalisation and death of people COVID-19 living in residential aged care facilities (RACFs).Retrospective cohort study.All confirmed (polymerase chain reaction testing) or probable SARS-CoV-2 infections (rapid antigen tests) residents 86 RACFs Metro South Hospital Health Service area (southeast Queensland), 13 December 2021 - 24 January 2022.Hospitalisation within 14 days 28 diagnosis.Of 1071 RACF COVID-19, 151 were hospitalised 126 died...
Melioidosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei. Although this environmental organism endemic in certain regions of Australia, it not considered Southern Queensland, where last case was reported 21 years ago. We report a climate change-associated outbreak melioidosis occurring during two La Niña events region previously nonendemic for B. During 15-month period, 14 cases locally acquired were identified. Twelve patients adults (> 50 years), with diabetes...
Microcirculation (2010) 17, 381–393. doi: 10.1111/j.1549-8719.2010.00033.x Abstract Objective: To examine the association between physical activity measured during leisure, sport, and work retinal microvascular signs. Methods: Participants of Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study, a population-based cross-sectional study, had photographs taken at their third follow up visit (1993–1995). Retinal signs were assessed using standardized protocol vascular caliber by computer-assisted...
Physical activities and sedentary behaviors are 2 broad classes of behavior that may be clearly distinguished from each other have different patterns determinants. The authors examined the associations physical activity television viewing time with retinal vascular caliber among US adults (n = 5,893) 4 racial/ethnic groups in Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis (2002–2004) included non-Hispanic whites, blacks, Hispanics, Chinese. were assessed by using a questionnaire, calibers (arteriolar...
Background: An increase in gastrointestinal infections Early Childhood Education and Care notified to the public health unit Metro South area of Brisbane, Australia, coincided with peak first Omicron wave 2022. This made messaging advice on outbreak management challenging. We hypothesised that symptoms were a feature variant infection. At time, there was paucity data presenting coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) by SARS-CoV-2 among Australian children. Objectives: To describe symptom...
to examine the associations of physical activity and television (TV) viewing time with retinal vascular caliber in Australian adults.a total 2024 adults aged 25 yr or older without known diabetes Diabetes, Obesity, Lifestyle Study (AusDiab, 1999-2000), a population-based cross-sectional study, were evaluated. Retinal calibers (both arteriolar venular calibers) measured from digital photographs using computer-assisted method summarized into central artery vein equivalents. Self-reported TV...
To investigate whether variations in primary chemotherapy were associated with survival a nationally complete cohort of Australian women epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).All 1192 diagnosed invasive EOC Australia 2005 identified through state-based registries. Medical record information including details treatment was obtained and data updated 2012. Those started on standard (carboplatin paclitaxel given at three-weekly intervals) after cytoreductive surgery included (n = 351) the relative...
PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship physical activity and television (TV) viewing time with retinal vascular caliber in a multiethnic Asian population. METHODS. Chinese, Indian, Malay participants (n = 3866) were examined cross-sectionally Singapore Prospective Study Program (2004-2007). Leisure-time TV assessed by use an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Retinal arteriolar venular calibers measured from digital photographs. RESULTS. After adjusting for...
Objective The 2022 Australian winter was the first time that COVID-19, influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) were circulating in population together, after two winters of physical distancing, quarantine borders closed to international travellers. We developed a novel surveillance system estimate incidence RSV three regions Queensland, Australia. Design implemented longitudinal testing-based sentinel programme. Participants provided with self-collection nasal swabs be dropped off at...
Abstract Household transmission plays a key role in the spread of COVID-19 through populations. In this paper, we report on within households metropolitan area Australia, examine impact various factors and highlight priority areas for future public health responses. We collected reviewed retrospective case data follow-up interview responses from with positive Delta variant Queensland 2021. The overall secondary attack rate (SAR) among household contacts was 29.6% mean incubation period cases...
A reasonable level of visual acuity is a prerequisite not only for the safety drivers and their passengers but also other road users. We surveyed sample automobile motorbike in South Wales to identify prevalence failing meet requirements driving as laid down by Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).A random 301 was stopped under police supervision lay-by on single carriageway Gwent. simple questionnaire administered 298 them followed an eyesight test wherein they were asked read vehicle...
Summary Background Measuring obesity at a single time point does not explain the independent association between C‐section birth and in child's life course. Objectives This study aimed to explore longitudinal link with trajectories during childhood. Methods We analysed data from nationally representative cohort named “Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC)”, commenced 2004. General was measured through Body Mass Index (BMI) abdominal by Waist Circumference (WC) using biennially...
To examine the association of cesarean section (C-section) with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk biomarkers among Australian children.The Longitudinal Study Children (LSAC) birth cohort was prospectively followed for body mass index (BMI) trajectory, and then linked CVD indicators children; waist circumference (WC), systolic blood pressure (SBP), glucose, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglyceride (TG), fat (FMI) composite metabolic syndrome (CMetS) score. Multivariable linear regression...
With the reduction in access to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and changes guidelines Australia, a reduced number of people are seeking for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), limiting opportunity monitor transmission. Knowledge community transmission COVID-19 other respiratory viruses is essential better predict subsequent surges cases during pandemic alert health services, protect vulnerable populations enhance public measures. We describe methodology testing-based sentinel...
