The efficacy of the BNT162b2 vaccine in pediatrics was assessed by randomized trials before Omicron variant's emergence. long-term durability protection this population during period remains limited.
Objectives Smoking among migrants is known to differ from the host population, but migrants’ smoking rarely ever compared prevalence of in their country origin. The goal this study compare that both US-born population and countries Further analyses assess influence sex, age at time entry US education level. Methods Data 248,726 14 were obtained Tobacco Use Supplement Current Population Survey (TUS-CPS) 2006–2007. on 108,653 respondents corresponding origin taken World Health (WHS) 2002–2005....
Importance The prevalence, pathophysiology, and long-term outcomes of COVID-19 (post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 [PASC] or “Long COVID”) in children young adults remain unknown. Studies must address the urgent need to define PASC, its mechanisms, potential treatment targets adults. Observations We describe protocol for Pediatric Observational Cohort Study NIH’s RE searching COV ID E nhance R ecovery (RECOVER) Initiative. RECOVER-Pediatrics is an observational meta-cohort study caregiver-child...
Importance Obesity is associated with increased severity of COVID-19. Whether obesity an risk post-acute sequelae SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) among pediatric populations, independent its association acute severity, unclear. Objective To quantify the body mass index (BMI) status before PASC risk, controlling for severity. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective cohort study occurred at 26 US children’s hospitals from March 2020 to May 2023 a minimum follow-up 179 days. Eligible...
As indicated by the ANGELO framework and similar models, various environmental factors influence population levels of physical activity (PA). To date attention has focused on micro-level environment, while evidence macro-level environment remains scarce mostly limited to high-income countries. This study aims investigate whether at are associated with PA among a broader range Data from World Health Survey (WHS) was used analyze 177,035 adults 38 (mostly low middle income) The International...
Abstract Objective There is a paucity of empirical work on the potential population health impact living under regime marred by corruption. African countries differ in extent national corruption, and we explore whether perceived corruption associated with across all rungs society. Methods World Health Survey data were analysed 72 524 adults from 20 countries. The main outcome was self‐reported poor general health. Multilevel logistic regression used to assess association between while...
This study is the first to examine contribution of both psychosocial and physical risk factors occupational inequalities in self-assessed health Europe. Data from 27 countries were obtained 2010 European Working Conditions Survey for men women aged 16 60 (n = 21,803). Multilevel logistic regression analyses (random intercept) applied, estimating odds ratios reporting less than good health. Analyses indicate that working conditions account a substantial proportion Central/Eastern Western...
In Southern Europe, smoking among older women was more prevalent the high educated than lower educated, we call this a positive gradient. This is dominant in early stages of epidemic model, later replaced by negative The aim study to assess if gradient can also be observed low and middle income countries other regions world. We used data World Health Survey from 49 total 233,917 respondents. Multilevel logistic regression model associations between individual level both country determinants....
Abstract People with HIV may be at increased risk for long COVID after acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. We investigated the association between and in two large electronic health record databases. Using data from Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) National Cohort Collaborative (N3C) 1/1/2018 to 4/30/2024, our analytic sample included individuals aged ≥21 years SARS-CoV-2. All were classified as having or not. estimated adjusted odds ratio (aOR) of by status using logistic...
Living in a particular region might affect health. We aimed to assess variations between regions individual The role of socio-economic factors the associations was also investigated.World Health Survey data were analysed on 220 487 individuals. Main outcomes included self-reported health, health complaints and disability. main predictor variable modified regional classification countries. Multilevel logistic regression used regions, while accounting for country-level factors, notably...
Background Investigations on health differences within welfare states between low- and high-socioeconomic groups are mainly conducted in Europe. With the aim of gaining global insight extent regimes influence personal disability for most vulnerable, we explore how these vary groups. Methods The World Health Survey data were analysed 199 595 adults from 46 countries using regime classification developed by Wood Gough. Multilevel logistic regression was used to estimate self-reported according...
The efficacy of the BNT162b2 vaccine in pediatrics was assessed by randomized trials before Omicron variant's emergence. long-term durability protection this population during period remains limited.
Background: Poor health is more prevalent in the East of Europe as compared with West. This variation often attributed to Soviet communism. Few studies investigate this discrepancy within young adults who were children during period. We studied by examining variations between world regions general generations (18–65+). The individual and contextual mechanisms that might influence their also investigated. Methods: World Health Survey data analysed on aged 18–34 (n = 91 823) elders 35+ 132...
Background Socioeconomic inequalities in mortality can be explained by different groups of risk factors. However, little is known whether repeated measurement factors provide better explanation socioeconomic health. Our study examines the extent to which relative educational and income might explanatory (behavioral, psychosocial, biomedical employment) measured at two points time, as compared one baseline. Methods Findings From Norwegian total county population-based HUNT Study (years...
Responsiveness is a dimension of health system functioning and might be dependent upon contextual factors related to politics. Given this, we performed cross-national comparisons with the aim investigating: 1) associations political patients’ reports responsiveness 2) extent which input output explain these associations. World Health Survey data were analyzed for 44 countries (n = 103 541). Main outcomes included, respectively, 8 7 domains inpatient outpatient care. Linear multilevel...

Southeast Texas is home to some of the largest refineries in United States. During Hurricane Harvey, emergency shutdowns took place. In this exploratory investigation, we examine how government air monitors performed measuring quality Beaumont, during and months following Harvey. Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) data from two active were analyzed year 2017–2018. Concentrations sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitric oxide (NO), oxides nitrogen (NOx), ozone, benzene, hydrogen sulfide (H2S)...
