To evaluate how sociodemographic factors influence educational modality preferences in people with cardiometabolic disease....
This was a cross-sectional study performed in people with diabetes and cardiovascular disease, who completed a questionnaire to denote their previous experience and ranked preferences for different ed...
The questionnaire was completed by 3751 people, of whom 59% were men, median (interquartile range) age was 68 (59-76) years, and 78% were White European. In total, 73% had diabetes, 35% had heart dise...
We highlight the importance of considering factors that could influence selection of educational modalities including age, ethnicity, gender and educational level. We anticipate this approach will aid...
Given the influence of multiple demographic factors and previous experiences on expressed preferences, providers should support individuals to make informed decisions about educational interventions t...
Multiple studies have been conducted to test the moderating effect of immigration on the positive health results yielded through educational attainment. However, no study has been conducted to examine...
We aimed to study whether an inverse association exists between educational level and perceived discrimination in European countries and whether immigration status moderates the association between ed...
Data from the 10th round of the cross-sectional European Social Survey (ESS) were used in this cross-sectional study. A total of 17,596 participants between 15-90 years old who lived in European count...
Of 17,596 participants, 16,632 (94.5%) were native-born and 964 were immigrants (5.5%). We found that higher levels of educational level were protective against perceived discrimination, which was als...
This study found that educational level was a protective factor against perceived discrimination. This effect, however, was more robust in the native-born participants than in their immigrant counterp...
Oral diseases are common and affect millions of people worldwide. They can range from mild and easily treatable conditions to more severe and serious diseases. Proper oral hygiene and regular dental m...
We enrolled consecutively healthy subjects aged between 0-16 and their parents at the Dental Clinic of the University of Campania "L. Vanvitelli". The Italian version of the ECOHIS (I-ECOHIS) was admi...
We found a significative association of a higher I-ECOHIS total score (coeff. 4.04244; CI 95%: 1.530855-6.554026; p = 0,002) and higher I-ECOHIS children section score (coeff. 3.2794; CI 95%: 1.29002-...
Father unemployed status and a lower educational level for both parents may negatively affect oral health status....
Estimated heritability of educational attainment (EA) varies widely, from 23% to 80%, with growing evidence suggesting the degree to which genetic variation contributes to individual differences in EA...
Educational status is used as a proxy for socioeconomic status. While lower levels of education are generally associated with poorer health, the data on the relationship between educational status and...
We included 5977 participants undergoing a screening colonoscopy in Austria. We split the cohort into patients with lower (n = 2156), medium (n = 2933), and higher (n = 459) educational status. Multiv...
We found that the rates of any neoplasia (32%) were similar between the educational strata. However, patients with higher (10%) educational status evidenced significantly higher rates of advanced colo...
Our study found that higher educational status was associated with a higher prevalence of advanced colorectal neoplasia compared to medium and lower educational status. This finding remained significa...
Education about healthy and respectful relationships (HRR) is a key component of comprehensive sexual health curricula and is supposed to be universally provided in Oregon. This study: (1) assesses th...
Using data from the 2019 Oregon Healthy Teens survey, we conducted multivariable Poisson regression to compare 11th grade students with and without disabilities on self-reported receipt of school base...
Students with disabilities were 41% more likely than students without disabilities to say they had never been taught in school about HRR (adjusted prevalence ratio 1.41, 95% confidence interval: 1.25-...
Students with disabilities are less likely to have received school-based HRR education than their peers without disabilities. Providing inclusive HRR education may help reduce risk of sexual abuse and...
We evaluated whether the maternal marital status and father acknowledgement (proxy for paternal presence) affect birth weight, and if so, whether the maternal educational attainment modifies this effe...
The positive association of health with education level and socioeconomic status (SES) is well-established. Two theoretical frameworks have been delineated to understand main mechanisms leading to soc...
Surveys on health and health behaviours were sent to representative samples of 12-18-year-old Finns in 1981-1997 every second year (response rate 77.8%, N = 55,682). The survey data were linked with t...
In logistic regression analyses, good health, health-enhancing behaviours, and lack of health-compromising behaviours were related to higher education and SES, also after controlling for family backgr...
Health and health behaviours in adolescence predicted education and SES in adulthood. Even though the relationships were modest, they support the health selection hypotheses and emphasise the importan...
Extensive intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very preterm newborns (VPNB) is associated with mortality and severe long-term neurological sequelae....
To know the most frequent neurological pathologies associated with extensive IVH, to determine the functional outcomes of mobility in the motor area and intellectual capacity in the cognitive area, to...
Descriptive and longitudinal study in VPNB with extensive IVH born between 2001 and 2014. They underwent protocolized neurological follow-up until school age. The functional outcomes in mobility and i...
74 children completed the follow-up; the most frequent associated neurological pathologies were neurodevelopmental disorders, hypertensive hydrocephalus, and epilepsy. Independent mobility (normal or ...
2/3 VPNB with extensive IVH showed positive functional outcomes, from normal to mild limitations that allow an almost autonomous life; in 1/3 the outcomes were unfavorable in mobility and cognitive pe...
The COVID-19 pandemic caused reverberations throughout the educational system that disproportionately impacted students of color and those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. In this review, we exam...
