The present study aimed to investigate the possible mechanisms linking a single-item measure of global self-rated health (SRH) with morbidity by comparing association strengths between SRH markers autonomic nervous system (ANS) function, inflammation, blood glucose and lipids. Cross-sectional comprehensive health-check data 3947 working adults (age 42±11) was used calculate logistic regressions, partial correlations compare correlation strength using Olkins Z. Adjusted regression models...

Abstract Aims Depression is common in people with diabetes and increases the risk of poor health outcomes, including premature mortality. We explored association between an episode depressive symptoms a cross‐sectional multinational study, which included large number low‐ middle‐income non‐Western countries. Methods Data from 47 countries 2002 World Health Organization Survey were used, 231 797 adults (mean age 41 years, 53% female). Diabetes was assessed by self‐report diagnosis or...

Epidemiological studies have shown that asthma is positively associated with depression. Most of this evidence stems from individual conducted in Western populations (e.g. Europe, North America and Australia). It still unclear whether such findings generalize to non-Western countries. To address question, the present study investigated association wheezing depression a large multi-national sample.We used data 2002 World Health Survey. Participants reported physician-diagnosed attacks within...

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common disorder (prevalence 2-7% in women, 7-14% men). It impairs the quality of life and increases mortality. Conservative treatment with continuous positive airway pressure highly effective, but patient compliance variable. Surgical treatments are controversial, as only few supported by evidence from controlled clinical trials. Adult patients OSA, CPAP intolerance, oropharyngeal obstruction were included trial. All underwent polysomnography (PSG)...

The reduction of stress reactivity resulting from management interventions prevents disorders and improves mental health, however, its long-term sustainability has been little examined. objective this study was, therefore, to determine the effectiveness a intervention, designed improve reactivity, for health sleep problems seven years later, using longitudinal data 101 male industrial workers. Linear regressions estimated adjusted effects changes in general as well six subdimensions (work...

Moderate-to-severe psoriasis frequently requires long-term systemic therapy. Reflecting efficacy, safety, and treatment satisfaction, drug survival is an indicator of therapeutic success. The objective the present study was to assess rates reasons for discontinuation fumaric acid esters (FAE), methotrexate (MTX), acitretin (ACI), cyclosporine A (CyA), adalimumab (ADA), etanercept (ETA), infliximab (INF), ustekinumab (UST) in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis.We performed a...

Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is a rare, potentially life-threatening inflammatory skin disease. Our aim was to assess patient and disease characteristics analyze drug survival rates in the treatment of GPP real-life setting. In this retrospective study, 201 series 86 patients with treated at five University Medical Centers were analyzed. Overall, excellent response reached 41.3% all courses, partial 31.4%, nonresponse 27.3%. Biological significantly more effective than non-biological...

Abstract 3.1. A regional approach often reveals features of population trends not evident in national data. We have already pointed out that the 1768 census followed ecclesiastical sub-divisions country; therefore its territorial data are comparable with those derived from later enumerations. The 1787 and 1797 censuses, on other hand, were based civil sub-divisions, which can be compared, when aggregated, censuses modern statistical era.

This study investigates associations between supportive leadership behavior (SLB) and presenteeism/absenteeism, estimates related costs.Cross-sectional data from a German industrial sample (n = 17,060) assessing SLB presenteeism/absenteeism were used. Adjusted interval regressions performed. The population was split into tertiles with respect to SLB, minimum maximum costs for each tertile estimated on the basis of national industry averages.Low associated higher presenteeism [-0.31, 95%...

Treatment satisfaction of patients with psoriasis largely depends on the treatment modality, but evidence preferences for specific medications is scarce. Here we assessed 200 participants moderate-to-severe from a German University hospital 5-point scale and Satisfaction Questionnaire Medication (TSQM) determined sociodemographic disease-related influence factors. Participants obtaining biologicals traditional systemic were significantly more satisfied than those receiving phototherapy or...

Treatment dissatisfaction and non-adherence are common among patients with psoriasis, partly due to discordance between individual preferences recommended treatments. However, more satisfied biologicals than other The aim of our study was assess patient for treatment psoriasis by using computer-based conjoint analysis. Biologicals approved in Germany were decomposed into outcome (probability 50% 90% improvement, time until response, sustainability success, probability mild severe adverse...

This study investigates the associations between Effort-Reward-Imbalance (ERI), Overcommitment (OC), Job-Demand-Control (JDC), and Organizational Injustice (OIJ) with employee well-being, absenteeism, presenteeism, as well costs incurred.Cross-sectional data from 1440 German pharmaceutical company employees assessing job stress, presenteeism were used. Linear regression interval analyses assessed separate independent sample-specific estimated.All four stressors related to absenteeism when...

Reviews have shown that depression is a risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. However, there limited evidence general psychological distress to be associated with incident The aim present study was test whether persons who report higher levels are at increased develop diabetes during 18 years follow up, adjusted confounders.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major public health concern as they the leading cause of death in developed countries. Primary care is considered to be ideal setting for CVD prevention. Therefore, more than 4,000 German primary physicians (PCPs) were asked about their attitudes towards and activities regarding prevention nationwide ÄSP-kardio Study. The focus study was on behavior modification. Two thirds participating PCPs stated that routinely provided brief inventions assist patients...
