Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Prevalence Trends Among Adolescents and Young Adults in the United States, 2007-2016

Tamoore Arshad, James M. Paik, Rakesh Biswas, Saleh A. Alqahtani, Linda Henry, Zobair M. Younossi

Summary: The study found varying trends in the prevalence of NAFLD among adolescents and young adults in the United States. Males, Hispanics, and late adolescents showed higher prevalence rates, while Whites and Blacks had lower rates. Over the study period, there was an increasing trend in NAFLD prevalence among 18-24 year-olds, highlighting important public health and policy implications.

Understanding Causes of Inferior Outcomes in Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

Julie A. Wolfson, Kelly M. Kenzik, Blake Foxworthy, John M. Salsman, Katherine Donahue, Marie Nelson, Mary Beth Littrell, Grant R. Williams, Jennifer M. Levine

Summary: Individuals diagnosed with cancer as adolescents and young adults (AYAs; ages 15-39 years) face unique vulnerabilities and have not seen the same improvement in survival as younger or older individuals. NCI and NCCN have prioritized addressing the specific needs of AYAs with cancer, and improvements have been observed in certain locales. This review presents a holistic conceptual model including various factors at the individual and system level that influence AYA outcomes, highlighting the importance of considering both patient-level and systems-level interventions.

Trends in survival of leukemia among children, adolescents, and young adults: A population-based study in Osaka, Japan

Kayo Nakata, Sumiyo Okawa, Shigeo Fuji, Akira Sato, Toshitaka Morishima, Yuma Tada, Masami Inoue, Junichi Hara, Keisei Kawa, Isao Miyashiro

Summary: The study focused on examining the trends in leukemia survival among children and AYAs over a 37-year period in Osaka, Japan. Significant improvements were observed in 5-year overall survival probability for all leukemia types, especially after the introduction of treatment regimens or molecularly targeted therapies. Patient centralization at designated cancer care hospitals may be an effective strategy to improve survival outcomes.

National trends in heart failure mortality in men and women,United Kingdom, 2000-2017

Clare J. Taylor, Jose M. Ordonez-Mena, Nicholas R. Jones, Andrea K. Roalfe, Sarah Lay-Flurrie, Tom Marshall, F. D. Richard Hobbs

Summary: This study compared the prognosis of women and men with heart failure, finding that women were diagnosed at an older age than men but had a better age-adjusted prognosis. Survival gains were less significant in women compared to men over the past two decades, suggesting a need to address gender differences in heart failure diagnosis and treatment pathways.

Temporal Trends and Disparities in Suicidal Behaviors by Sex and Sexual Identity Among Asian American Adolescents

Yunyu Xiao, Wenhua Lu

Summary: This study examined temporal trends and sex and sexual orientation disparities in nonfatal suicidal behaviors among Asian American adolescents from 1991 to 2019. Significant increases in rates of suicide plan were found among Asian American adolescents who were sexual minorities based on sexual identity and sexual contact. It suggests the need for suicide prevention programs addressing unique risk factors and stigma related to sexual orientation for this population.

Sex Assigned at Birth Ratio Among Transgender and Gender Diverse Adolescents in the United States

Summary: There has been an increase in transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents assigned female sex at birth (AFAB) seeking care, but this does not mean that AFAB youth are more susceptible to social contagion. Additionally, TGD youth have higher rates of bullying victimization and suicidality compared to cisgender peers.

Summary: The incidence of adrenal crises and adrenal insufficiency has increased in adolescents and young adults over the past 20 years, particularly in females. Possible explanations include dosage of glucocorticoid replacement, non-adherence to therapy, psychosocial factors, and difficulties in transitioning to adult services.

Temporal Trends in Suicidal Ideation and Attempts Among US Adolescents by Sex and Race/Ethnicity, 1991-2019

Yunyu Xiao, Julie Cerel, J. John Mann

Summary: The study revealed significant differences in trends of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts between sexes and racial/ethnic groups in US adolescents. There has been an increase in suicidal ideation among female individuals since 2009, while male and Black adolescents showed the largest increase in suicide attempt prevalence between 1991 and 2019.

Survival outcomes for cancer types with the highest death rates for adolescents and young adults, 1975-2016

Denise Riedel Lewis, Elizabeth J. Siembida, Nita L. Seibel, Ashley Wilder Smith, Angela B. Mariotto

Summary: This study analyzed long-term survival trends for cancer types with the highest mortality among AYA patients. Significant improvements in 5-year relative survival were found for some cancer types, while limited or no improvement was observed for others. The findings suggest the need for continued research focusing on specific cancer types with limited survival improvements.

Summary: The study compared the clinical features and survival rates of osteosarcoma in adolescents and young adults (AYA) with other age groups. It found that AYA had the highest male-to-female ratio, with most tumors located in extremities. The treatment mainly consisted of local treatment and systemic chemotherapy, and the 5-year overall survival rate of AYA was closer to that of children.

Reappraisal and Health: How Habitual Reappraisal and Reappraisal Ability Interact to Protect Against Life Stress in Young Adults

Lydia G. Roos, Jeanette M. Bennett

Summary: Inadequate emotion regulation can lead to the development of psychopathology and worsened physical health. Cognitive reappraisal is considered an adaptive strategy to manage negative emotions, but its effectiveness depends on contextual and individual differences. The interactive effects of habitual reappraisal, reappraisal ability, and exposure to stressful life events on mental health were examined. Habitual reappraisal may protect against elevated depressive symptoms and worsened physical health for individuals facing more stressful life events.

Bone health in long-term survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia. An assessment by peripheral quantitative computed tomography

Ronald D. Barr, Dean Inglis, Uma Athale, Maciej Jaworski, Troy Farncombe, Christopher L. Gordon

Summary: Long-term survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have compromised bone health to some extent, especially in high-risk survivors who received more intensive osteotoxic chemotherapy. The bone connectivity in these survivors is lower in females compared to males, but factors such as history of fracture, cranial irradiation, or bisphosphonate use do not show significant differences in bone metrics.
