Summary: The study conducted in Sweden found that underweight or overweight adolescents were adversely associated with psychosomatic and school-related complaints, with significant differences between boys and girls. Overweight/obese boys had higher odds to complain about specific symptoms compared to normal-weight boys, while overweight/obese girls were more likely to report certain complaints than normal-weight girls. Greater associations were observed for overweight/obese adolescents in terms of school-related complaints compared to underweight adolescents.

Summary: Advances in diagnostics and treatment have increased the survival of childhood cancer patients, leading to a growing population of survivors. The quality of life (QoL) of survivors, affected by somatic and mental late effects, has been subject to contradictory findings in studies. This study critically evaluated and summarized the latest evidence on QoL of childhood cancer survivors in Europe, identifying risk factors and highlighting the importance of targeted interventions and optimal follow-up care to improve their QoL.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of community and individual social capital on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in early childhood. The findings suggest that community social capital has a long-term effect on OHRQoL during adolescence, while individual social capital levels impact OHRQoL across multiple assessments.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage, Child-Pugh (CP) score, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The results showed that impaired liver function was associated with reduced quality of life, while the BCLC stage had poor correlation with HRQoL. Early supportive interventions may have a positive impact on HRQoL and survival outcomes for HCC patients.
